About the author
S.L. Grigg
2 books13 followersSharon Grigg, who writes under the pen name S.L Grigg, made it her new year's resolution to publish her book 'Coffee Break Companion' during 2018. After bouncing back from mental health problems (BPD), following the death of her husband from a brain tumour in 2009, Sharon was struck down with kidney and other health problems, believed to be linked to having the Essure sterilisation device she had implanted back in 2008. In September 2017 she underwent major surgery to have a non-functioning hydronephrotic kidney removed at the same time as a full hysterectomy to remove the essure device.
Just two months after setting her goal Sharon launched the collection of dark, short stories and poetry on Amazon. Many of the stories were written during Sharon’s battle with mental health.
41-year-old mother of two, Sharon says “For me publishing was never about, money or fame. I just wanted to be able to hold a copy of my book and say, ‘I wrote this’ and now I can.”
Coffee Break Companion is ideal for dipping into whilst on your lunch break.
Blurb - Grab that cup of coffee (or tea if you prefer), maybe add a splash of something stronger, settle down and enjoy your break with this gripping collection of flash fiction and poetry that will send shivers down your spine. With an added bonus of a longer story at the end that will fill your lunch break. What are you waiting for? Dive in! Everything from a discovery in an Ice Cavern, to a tornado. Mermaids, and Dragons. Mystery and Horror. This collection of flash fiction and poetry has something to capture anyone’s imagination, with a final chilling thriller that will leave you gasping for air.
Includes scenes some readers may find disturbing.

An absolutely perfect book journal. So many pages and details to record my reading for this year! I’m keen to review all the books I read so this will definitely help me reach my goal for this.
Love all the little extras inside this too.
The Fiction Cafe group recommendations are really useful too.

I considered purchasing a book journal for a while but was waiting until I could find the perfect one. As a member of an online book club I especially needed one that would help with future book discussions. This one ticks all the boxes for me!
For book info the journal asks questions, ratings on different aspects of the books, and has a section for the books details (pages, publisher, read dates etc). I find it hard to write reviews sometimes but this will definitely help with that too!
Throughout the journal you can also find little hidden gems. Activities like colouring and word searches, book recommendations. The Flash Fictions were a lovely surprise too!
As for the cover, I absolutely love it! A book, a cuppa and my favourite colour. Gorgeous!! The journal is everything I was looking for and more.

The Reading Journal is a great book, whether you are a serious book blogger, casual reviewer, or simply someone who likes to keep track of their thoughts about the books they have read. It is well presented, with oodles of space for notes on books that you have read, and lists of the books that you want to read. As well as smartly laid out, easy to use pages for recording your reading, The Reading Journal is filled with pages to colour in, puzzles to do, and flash fiction pieces.
