I really enjoyed Terrible Traitors by Terry Deary, illustrated by Martin Brown. It is classic Horrible Histories, full of dark humour, surprising facts, and the kind of storytelling that makes history feel anything but dull. This book focuses on betra ...more |

I really enjoyed Sinbin Island by Doug Naylor. It takes the familiar idea of school punishment and turns it into a wild, imaginative adventure. A group of misfit children are sent to a mysterious island, but this is no ordinary detention. Things quick ...more |

I really enjoyed the first Joni Jones book, so I was excited to return to this world and this sequel definitely delivers. The Gower setting adds such a strong, eerie atmosphere, and the story leans even more into history and folklore this time, which ...more |

“Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
― In Country Sleep, and Other Poems
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
― In Country Sleep, and Other Poems
“She didn't belong anywhere and she never really belonged to anyone. And everyone else belonged somewhere and to someone. People thought she was too wonderful. But she only wanted to belong to someone. People always thought she was too wonderful to belong to them or that something too wonderful would hurt too much to lose. And that's why she liked him-- because he just thought she was crazy.”

“Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rage at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”

The Strictly Business Proposal
This Valentine's weekend why not curl up and transport yourself to Freshwater Bay in Wales with The Strictly Business Proposal by Nell Grey. It's free on Amazon 13th-18th February.
Happy Reading!
Is Beth Barnes a beautiful con artist or the genuine friend of Evan Morgan, an elderly Welsh chef?
When Evan dies, he hands talented London chef Beth her big break. She has the chance to realise her dream and run her very own restaurant in a village on the wild Welsh Celtic coast. But there are strings attached. Can she comply and gain her inheritance, her dream?
Accused of being a gold digger by the family, Beth’s welcome to Wales is not quite as warm as she’d hoped for. Burned from a recent divorce, the last thing on architect Gareth Morgan’s mind is another wedding. If he wants to realise his development dreams, he must marry.It’s a strictly business proposal. But can Beth and Gareth really stick to the terms?
