Crime vs thriller (yes there's a difference):

Today I am going to be looking at crime and thriller; they are two different genres. But how are they different? What makes something a thriller as opposed to a crime. Sit back as I uncover the mystery for you...

Books, books, books.

Hello all, it is a mystery to me as to why books are undervalued. We are sucked in by social media and technology and wander if it not too much. I must admit that I make this statement, typing to you while using an electronic device. That in itself begs the question - when are we not "glued" to our screens as it were. Think about it. Do you wake up in the morning and immediately check your phone all the time? Sometimes there is good reason but sometimes you do just because. I am not judging though but I just question whether books can be considered and not ignored as much unlike social media. Plus, a good book can put you in a good mood or a calmer one. I know it has for me!

Welcome to July.

As today is the first of the month, that means I have a new author of the month on my blog. Further to this, I also have a new theme of the month for July and August.

What I have read this month...

The end of the month approaches and I am gutted that we are finishing pride month. It seems the month has raced past in a flash. Still, I have read some good stuff this month.
