Happy Sunday readers! Can't believe we are already eight days in to the new year! I've been working hard on a few posts that I would like to share with you, so coming soon is my 2017 Popsugar Reading Challenge list, an in-depth review of my brand new Kindle Oasis and the top ten Kindle downloads of 2016 via Amazon!

Hopefully these will all be uploaded be the end of the week, plus my review of my current read Blink by K L Slater. I would like to thank the amazing guys at Bookouture and NetGalley for the advanced copy.

Until next time,

Summer is upon us at last, so grab your beach towels and sun creams and dive into some of my favourite upcoming thrillers for 2017! The Child by Fiona Barton Release Date: 27/7/2017 Available now! When a paragraph in an evening newspaper reveals a decades-old tragedy, most readers barely give it a glance. But for three strangers it’s impossible to ignore.

Particularly Louise, who has lived her adult life with a ...

Whilst browsing online book stores yesterday I came across a book called Speed Reading; How to increase your reading speed and comprehension by Bryan Botwin. I like to think of myself as a relatively fast and competent reader, but thought I would read it anyway. Any of us bookworms will admit that being able to read faster can only be a good thing as it enables us to read more and more books in less time. Speed Reading: How To Increase Your Reading Speed And Comprehension by Bryan Botwin My rating: 3 of 5 stars A few helpful tips to increase your reading speed. Short and sweet. View all my reviews I have encountered the notion of speed reading before and vaguely remember doing an online test to discover my reading speed. Taking an online test is recommended by the author to establish your current speed and to be able to monitor any progress made in future. I took this speed reading test today and I was genuinely shocked by my results. The site says that the average speed...
