If you need a good laugh, Good Omens it is (or The Bartimaeus Trilogy heh). Here’s a synopsis: It’s about our world coming to an end. An Antichrist, came to earth in a disguise of a young boy, named Adam Young (Yes, Adam) and a hellhound, named ‘Dog’ was sent to help him (How it…
The Gathering by Anne Enright
In a nutshell, The Gathering is about a woman who’s coming to grips with her past, catching up with her present and trying to move on after her brother’s death. And I didn’t enjoy it one bit. She rambled alot. Her story went back and forth so inconsistently and frequently that I got lost. Maybe…
Been Busy….
Been so tied up at work lately I can hardly read anything, which explains the hardly-updated-book-review section.

an Hour to Live an Hour to Love by Richard & Kristine Carlson
An easy read that teaches you about love, life and appreciation. What I enjoyed reading most is Carlson’s favourite poem by Norma Cornett Marek, Tomorrow Never Comes: The beginning is my favourite: “If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep,I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray…

Little Face by Sophie Hannah
A mom returns home from the gym, looks for her baby in the nursery and finds that the baby isn’t hers. She goes berserk and starts to suspect that her baby has been swapped for another.
