Tsalix Silverthorn and the Desert of Desolation by Richard Siddoway | Book Review

Tsalix Silverthorn and the Desert of Desolation by Richard Siddoway Thank you to 'Love books tours' and the author for sending me this proof copy in exchange for an honest review. Blurb Having retrieved the first talisman from the top of Mount Jinee, Tsalix and his friends are faced with another daunting task. They must cross Shayeksten, the Desert of Desolation to reach Mount Tsood and find the second talisman. Shayeksten is formidable, dry, hot, and covered with drifting sand. Compounding their problem is their nemesis, Captain Nash Doitsoh and his band of soldiers, who are patrolling the desert and are determined to capture Tsalix and bring him to Prince Abadon. If they are successful in crossing Shayeksten and reaching Mount Tsood they must find where the talisman is hidden and then return to Mount Deschee to deliver it to the King. Genre Fantasy / Adventure / Quest / War & Combat fiction Review When accepting this proof copy I hadn't realised it

One for Sorrow by Helen Fields | Book Review

One for Sorrow by Helen Fields due for release March 2022 Pre-order a copy here Thank you to the author and to Avon Books for sending me this proof copy. Description 'Breathtaking - I defy anyone to read this and come away unaffected. Perfectly plotted...I devoured it and can't stop thinking about it.' -Bestselling author Susi Holliday Bestselling crime author Helen Fields is back with her best book yet. A masterful crime thriller that is set to be the most memorable read of 2022. One for sorrow, two for joy. Edinburgh is gripped by the greatest terror it has ever known. A lone bomber is targeting victims across the city and no one is safe. Three for a girl, four for a boy. DCI Ava Turner and DI Luc Callanach face death every day - and not just the deaths of the people being taken hostage by the killer. Five for silver, six for gold. When it becomes clear that with every tip-off they are walking into a trap designed to kill them too, Ava and Luc know that finding the tr

My 2021 bookish round up

It's nearly the end of the first week of January 2022 already, time sure does fly. I have only just got around to writing up my 2021 book round up. It was a brilliant year for books and it was an especially exciting year for me as it was the year I finished and passed my Masters Degree in Philosophy which means I have even more time to read books of my choice. Another reason 2021 was so exciting was because I officially opened my bookshop 'Betty's Books ' in Seaton, Devon. I've owned the shop at 30 Queen Street since 2014 and run it as an art shop that sold books alongside, this year I decided to split the shop space in half and dedicate half to a bookshop and half to an art shop. The shop has since had a full front renovation and new signage to reflect the change. It was super exciting and it means I can fill my days will everything I love. I spend 6 days a week here in the shop on my own so making the space somewhere I enjoy being is really important for me and m
