Weekly Mentions
From Jessica's Quill
Loved how She mixed the roaring ’20s with a dash of medieval flair, making history pop off the page! Clever, engaging, and oh-so imaginative. Top marks for whisking us away on a wild ride through time!
From Laura Ann
This gem dazzles with suspense! Picture a glitzy 1920s bash meeting a spine-tingling thriller. Our heroine, thrust into a macabre game, shows real grit. It’s not just a page-turner; it’s a heart-racer. Smashing! You’ve got to read it.
From Richard Dee
I dived into this gem, and it’s a cracker! Fairies in a jar, dancing for their supper, all wrapped up in a whimsy yet sombre tale. It makes you root for them and a bit peckish yourself! Top-notch read.
From Richard Dee
I got utterly lost in its magic. Jack Anders’ book is a hidden treasure bursting with life. Every character jumps off the page, making you believe they’re right there with you. It's a brilliant find for any book lover!
From Laura Ann
Diving into this story feels like a cheeky space adventure, with our hero defying odds that’d make even a cat’s nine lives look tame. Brilliantly imaginative, it’s like a blast of fresh lunar air in a world of stale tales. A must-read!
From Richard Dee
Landed on Mycetes and found it teeming with life, not green but red and buzzing with mysteries. The giant mushrooms were a sight, making me ponder the taste with a bit of garlic! A cracking tale, brimming with adventure and wit.
From Richard Dee
Just read a cracking tale about Balenca, garden letters, and big dreams getting a tough no from the big wigs. It’s a corker of a story that pulls you in. Heartbreak, hope, and a dash of rebellion — it’s like a wild ride on a sunny day. You can almost smell the fresh air and feel the grit. A must-read, I’d say!
Dived into this gem and couldn’t help but feel the chills! It’s eerie and gripping and had me on the edge, guessing what’s next. Brilliantly spooky! She is such a Brilliant Writer, and this shows her work Perfectly.
