Reading these two historical fiction works is like witnessing the scandalous affairs of King Henry VIII unfolding before my very eyes!
Philippa Gregory’s attention to the minutiae of Tudor court life and her lively retelling of the circumstances which drove the Boleyn sisters to rival each other for the King’s favour in The Other Boleyn Girl […]

My reading diet has been a little varied of late. I’ve swung from the star magic and mystery of Enchanter and Battleaxe to the desert rites of passage for would-be queen Anghara and the meddling of a ghostly poltergeist with romantic endings, and enjoyed every bit of it.
The only one which I have some misgivings […]

Forgive me the silence. The traveling, the projects piling up, and the pressure deadlines, are getting to me. But the reading and posting must go on nonetheless, so here are my reviews of two more books from a recent journey.
Mary Higgins Clark is another favourite suspense writer of mine and re-reading Moonlight Becomes You made […]

Between A Pirate of Her Own and Me and Mr Darcy, I’d choose the latter for its timeless appeal and modern application than the rather dated pirate tale that has no new story arcs to thrill me.
I’ve picked up A Pirate of Her Own by Kinley McGregor from the local UBS simply because I was […]

This follow-up to the author’s romance series starring four writers – one crime thriller writer, one romance, one fantasy and one true crime author – was on my wishlist for quite a while before I finally tracked it down.

This was a book which Jay liked, and I was wildly curious about. I mean, I’ve liked both of Katie MacAlister’s books that I’ve read, so wanted to The Corset Diaries a go.
The synopsis on the back cover sounded fun. It goes:

Confession time … I picked up Daisy’s Back in Town by Rachel Gibson thinking it was the sequel to Sex, Lies and Online Dating, and was hoping to read Clare Wingate’s story, judging from the excerpt at the end of Sex.
Right silly of me, I know. But this book didn’t turn out too bad after […]
