Hello everyone!
My name is Mel, welcome to my site!
I’m from Sydney, Australia and I am a mother of two (so far).
When I’m not busy working as a nurse, I am busy parenting my child and toddler, or have my head in a good book… My hobbies have dwindled and changed a lot since having my son… Other hobbies of mine include singing, meditation (not as much now I have two children unfortunately) and writing, but reading remains my main escape.
I have always had a hard time remembering all the books that I have read. So I started reviewing them. I find its a great way to remember them and I LOVE it when someone reads and enjoys a book based on my review! “So why not start a blog?” A friend asked me… Great idea! So here we are!
I love and read all kinds of books, anything from thrillers to fantasy, to young adult. I love a good book with a good setting, excitement, suspense and LOVE to be surprised with a massive twist! I also love a good romance book! But not the obsessive, violent type of romance…
Don’t be a stranger! I would love to hear from you! Click HERE to contact me, or leave a comment 🙂

ABOUT MY REVIEWS
I am ALWAYS honest with my reviews. If I post a negative review of a book that you disagree with, I am always up for a good conversation about it. However I will not publish or acknowledge insulting comments from people because they disagree with my review, or wish to personally attack me.
I am NOT a professional. I am no English professor, I pretty much flunked English at school… I also write these reviews in between work shifts and parenting… Although I try to ensure my grammar and spelling is correct, I MAKE MISTAKES! If you spot one and want to NICELY inform me of it, I thank you. If you want to comment and insult my intelligence because of one word I misspelled or misused, I will gladly leave it there just to annoy you.
I happily take review requests if I have the time! Click HERE to see my review policy.
Affiliate Links:
Some of the links in this website (Book Depository) are affiliate links. This means if you click on the link and purchase the item, I will receive an affiliate commission. Regardless, I only recommend products or services that will add value to the readers.
I will always state if I purchased the book or if it was given or gifted to me in exchange for an HONEST review.
