"Good girls go to heaven, but bad girls go everywhere," states the legendary quote by Helen Gurley Brown. I absolutely loved how Juliette Caron proved the opposite in her book “Gone Away Girl”. Chloe is seventeen, and she is a good girl. She makes a tough choice not every “bad” girl gathers enough courage to make.... Continue Reading →
“The Thorn Birds” by Colleen McCullough
This isn’t a story of forbidden love between a girl from Australia and a priest. “The Thorn Birds” by Colleen McCullough is so much more. To be honest, Maggie and Ralph de Bricassart’s love story plotline was the one that fascinated me the least in this book. If anything, it even annoyed me a little. Reading... Continue Reading →

“The Younglings: Fire and Magic” by Helena M. Craggs
“The Younglings: Fire and Magic” is the second instalment of the Younglings fantasy series penned by Helena M. Craggs. This book is such a page-turner that I’ve read it in two days, grabbing every opportunity to read, even if I had only twenty free minutes. Quinn Carter and his team are back, and we join...

“On Chesil Beach” by Ian McEwan
There was something unpleasantly disturbing about this book that didn’t let me fully enjoy reading it. I couldn’t make myself care about the characters, even though their inner struggles and reasons why they are the way they are were well depicted by the author. Edward and Florence, both in their early twenties and virgins, are... Continue Reading →
“Masked Intent” by Kimberly Greer
Have you ever wondered what hides behind a polished façade of a womaniser? In literature and onscreen the men who refuse to commit and form a long-term relationship are usually depicted from the perspective “I’ve chosen it myself because it’s cool and I need nobody in my life”. James Bond doesn’t count – he has... Continue Reading →

“A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston” by Robyn Crawford
I don’t like writing about the books I have mixed feelings about after reading. That’s why it took me a while to write a review of “A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston” by Robyn Crawford. It’s not that I didn’t like the book. It is just this nagging feeling that something isn’t right.... Continue Reading →
“King of the Wicked” by T.R. Hamby
What I love about books written by T.R. Hamby is that through her words, she places you so close to her characters that while reading you feel like you are sitting next to them. “King of the Wicked” is a fantasy story with true-to-life, likeable characters whom you immediately want to befriend despite them all...
