Now this was an easy choice! Historical: The Chocolate Maker's Wife by Karen Brooks ‘It’s this aspect of chocolate I believe will allow our establishment to cast others into the shade. In due course, naturally.’ He smiled. ‘While coffee clears the mind, facilitates conversation and allows insights, chocolate is for those who seek pleasure . … Continue reading #Book Bingo – Round 10

#BookBingo – Round 8
For the purposes of bingo, themes of fantasy also encompasses paranormal and gothic elements. I know many will scream nooo!!!! It's not the same!!!! It really isn't, but since I was at risk of blowing bingo out to an epic size, I had to stop adding categories. And paranormal didn't make the cut as a … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 8
Challenge Check In – March
Since I’m doing a few challenges this year, I thought I’d do a monthly check in post by way of keeping myself on track. March has turned out to be a great month for reading, far better than I anticipated given that I had all three of my children with birthdays and a tear in … Continue reading Challenge Check In – March
#BookBingo – Round 7
This week is a match between category and book that was meant to be! Themes of Justice: Half Moon Lake by Kirsten Alexander What really made my skin crawl was the behind doors schemes, the obvious quest to pervert the course of justice. How some people sleep at night, I’ll never know. Have times changed? … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 7
#BookBingo – Round 6
One of the things I love about book bingo is that I often get to feature for a second time books I have recently appreciated and highly recommend. None more so than this week's selection. Themes of Culture: A River in the Trees by Jacqueline O'Mahony ‘It was already completely bright in the room; the … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 6
#BookBingo – Round 5
Time to dial it back and stop showing off, only one square being checked off today (although I did have another square lined up so another double post was certainly achievable - just in case you mistook this modesty for slacking off). Book set in the Australian outback: Sunshine by Kim Kelly At its heart, … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 5
Challenge Check In – February
Since I’m doing a few challenges this year, I thought I’d do a monthly check in post by way of keeping myself on track. February has been a quieter month than January but I've still made some good progress into each of my challenges. February's efforts look like this: #aww2019: 6 books #AussieAuthor19: 6 books … Continue reading Challenge Check In – February
#BookBingo – Round 4
These double rounds are turning into a habit, one I'd better dial back on or else I'll finish this bingo challenge sooner than planned and have to start it all over again. The latest squares I have checked off are: Book set in an exotic location: The Moon Sister by Lucinda Riley Set primarily in … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 4
#BookBingo – Round 3
Another double round! I am so pleased with how this challenge is progressing. This last fortnight, I've checked off: 500 pages or more: The Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon Which I read as a way of finding out what was going to happen in the rest of season four of Outlander. Waiting each week … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 3
#BookBingo – Round 2
Summer reading is doing wonders for my book bingo challenge. This round is another double one for me! And two squares from the same row as well! Book set in the Australian mountains: Matryoshka by Katherine Johnson Matryoshka ebbs and flows with pain and hope. As Sara builds her new life and carves out the … Continue reading #BookBingo – Round 2
