<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today is the last day of Catch Me If You Cannes Blog Tour, yes feeling quite sad because I've enjoyed being part of this blog tour, also because I loved reading Catch Me If You Cannes so much.<br /><br />If you think Part 3 of Catch Me If You Cannes had plenty of drama then you haven't read Part 4 yet!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Just one week ago, Jess was safely tucked away in her quiet seaside home, running her cafe and not really doing much of anything. So what on earth has happened between then and now that has her stealing a superyacht from Cannes marina?</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Leo. Leo happened.</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Jess doesn't want to believe what everybody is saying about him. He's her Leo, with his lazy smile, soft kisses and firm hugs, and she knows he's a good man. But she can't deny that something isn't quite right so she just needs some time to figure things out. All Jess did was fall in love with a boy who liked Nutella. How has it come to this?</i><br /><br />Well everything just gets even more complicated for Jess in the last part of Catch Me If You Cannes. She is out to prove Leo isn't a drug lord which Bryony has said he is, but things just get ever so confusing and even more drama happens in Jess' life. . . I don't want to say much more because I just think you should buy this and read for yourself!<br /><br />You will most certainly laugh (be careful of reading in public) and will be hoping Jess gets her happily ever after which is what you want in any chick lit book at the end! The whole series is just pure fantastic with plenty of laughs throughout!<br /><br />Just go buy this fab book right away!<br />Want even better news? The complete novel will be out in Paperback on 23rd June 2016! woop woop!!<br /><br />Thank You Lisa and Clara at Little Brown for letting me part of this amazing blog tour! I've enjoyed the book ever so much! When's the next book?<br />You Fantastic Lady!<br /><br />I reward Catch Me If You Cannes 5 fantastic, amazing, sizzling hot shimmering stars.</span></div>

<b><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Part 2 Blurb</span></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Jess had been feeling on top of the world - she'd had the best night out with Bryony, making lots of fabulous new friends, and she'd MET A BOY! Now, all of a sudden, her carefully constructed (if slightly exaggerated) facade is about to come tumbling down. She's had a taste of how the other half live and she's not ready to give it up just yet - especially if it means also giving up Leo. But how long can Jess and Bryony continue pulling the wool over everyone's eyes before they're in too deep?</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Part 3 Blurb</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Things could not be going better between Jess and Leo. Every moment they spend together is lovely and sunkissed and full of anticipation. Jess hasn't felt like this in a very long time and she doesn't want it to end. Sure, Leo is a bit vague about certain areas of his life but that doesn't mean anything . . .</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Suddenly Jess's perfect holiday romance isn't looking so great and she has a choice to make - should she ignore what Bryony is telling her and keep living the dream, or should she run the risk of losing Leo in order to prove her friend wrong?</i></span></div>
<br />
<b><br /></b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>My Review</b><br /><br />I am so happy to be part of Catch Me If You Cannes Blog Tour!

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am so happy to be part of Lindsey Kelk's new novel Always The Bridesmaid Blog Tour today! I had the pleasure of having Lindsey stop by for a short interview. Here is the interview.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /><br /><b>Q) Hi Lindsey, "Always The Bridesmaid" came out 7th May, Can you tell us a little bit about it?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Yes! Always the Bridesmaid is about Maddie, an assistant events organiser who finds out at the beginning of the book, that one of her best friends is getting married and that the other is getting divorced. Trying to play peacemaker between the two of them while helping to plan Lauren a wedding and counsel Sarah through her break up, she’s still hung up on her ex and miserable in her job.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Even though Maddie is a bridesmaid in the book, it not really a story about that, it’s about allowing yourself to be pushed into a bridesmaid position in your life. Maddie is so used to coming second - with her friends, her family, her career – that she doesn’t even realise there’s another way to live. This is the story of how that all changes.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Q) Have you ever been a bridesmaid?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I have, once as a little girl and twice as a grown up. I don’t think I was very good at it either time. I definitely cried on all three occasions but only had to be carried out to bed once. I cannot confirm that was when I was a little girl.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Q) What inspired you to write this story and why?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>My life, the lives of my friends, stories I heard from other people. I love looking at the things that effect our day to day lives, issues that are bigger than ourselves, and starting my story there. About a Girl was about the pressure on people to make huge important choices when they’re very young and the fear that comes with making the wrong one, I Heart Christmas was about ‘having it all’ and whether or not that’s a fantasy concept, What a Girl wants was about making choices when you have no idea of the outcome. I take an idea and build a world around it. Or at least, that’s the plan.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Q) Favourite Chick-lit film and why?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>I basically love everything that’s ever been committed to celluloid so it’s hard to choose a favourite. I enjoyed them all, Bridget Jones, Devil Wears Prada, even Shopaholic – it gets a bad rap but I think Isla Fisher and High Dancy are lovely in it. But then Hugh Dancy is lovely in everything.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Q) Are you a fan of weddings?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Ehh, it’s such a broad brush. Sometimes they’re wonderful and sometimes they’re painfully terrible, I’ve been to both ends of the spectrum. I love the idea of a wedding but I’m also very cynical about the idea of marriage in general and the thought of spending all that money on one day which ultimately might not mean anything really causes me pain. But if anyone asks, yes! I love weddings! They’re wonderful and not an extortionate obligation at all!</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Q) Have you any writing tips to anybody who is wanting to start writing?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Just write! It’s really the only tip you need. If you desperately want another, read. The more you read, the better your writing will become and the more you write, the easier it will be. That’s really all you need to know. To be a writer, you have to write.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hi Everyone! I wanted to do a different blog post today as I've recently just come back from a mini break to London which I loved so much and I wanted to share with you all some of the things I did while I was there. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" />
<br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I travelled down from Preston on Sunday 29th March at 10.58am first Class with my lovely friend Zoe and Sister Lois.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The train journey down was fantastic, no delays, peaceful and I read some of my current book A Mother's Story by Amanda Prowse.</span><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWhlEsHF8eALsFv42JauJZRYFJj3HhguI0X48fSRWF4n7MmIHAKe8fRIB4L_BYSp_nU_PGYaoXYOjcoCtUybfUhHoU_fu2LmNeIw_5ccLHJcO8cm9DmYo3zI20zNa0REXIEGFuRotxUw/s1600/20150329_104637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVWhlEsHF8eALsFv42JauJZRYFJj3HhguI0X48fSRWF4n7MmIHAKe8fRIB4L_BYSp_nU_PGYaoXYOjcoCtUybfUhHoU_fu2LmNeIw_5ccLHJcO8cm9DmYo3zI20zNa0REXIEGFuRotxUw/s1600/20150329_104637.jpg" height="225" width="400" /></a><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We arrived at London Euston at 1.22pm, we was all eager to get to the hotel and start sight seeing. The Weather wasn't that brilliant so we decided to go shopping and do sight seeing the next day. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We headed off to the underground, me and my sister bought Oyster cards for the first time which I had been toying whether to use one weeks before we came down. We got off at Oxford Circus and I couldn't wait to shop. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We all agreed what shops we wanted to go in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Disney Shop and Primark were a must!</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We were like big kids in Disney Shop! The Downstairs was just all for the new Cinderella film and they had even put a Golden Carriage there too which you could have your picture taken.</span><br />

<u><b><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My Review</span></b></u><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br />Thank you to Harpercollins for sending me a copy of Cartel in exchange for an honest review.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I have never read or heard of any books by Lili St. Germain before but I was intrigued to read because of the blurb. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Wow this book blew my mind! I was hooked after reading the first couple of chapters! Everything seemed to happen all of a sudden which is a good thing because you quickly get sucked into the story.<br /><br />Cartel is about Mariana who's dad is a wealthy drug lord until he messes up and costs his boss a lot of trouble, no drugs and no money to pay back. Everything comes crashing down and Mariana is given away, a payment for a debt.<br />Emilio is the big boss, he is not happy and wants his money, however his son Dornan Ross in charge of Gypsy Brothers Motorcyle Club becomes Mariana's new owner.. She didn't plan to fall in love with him though...</span></div>

I will admit I was creeped out with the violence, it was too much at times but I just couldn't put the book down. I felt really sorry for Mariana and by being owned by Dornan was scary although you could tell he was softening and was falling in love with her although he had to put a front up to his dad as he would kill her if knew the truth between them...<br /><br />I cannot wait to read the next books in the series! The Cartel Trilogy is a prequel series.<br />I would highly recommend giving this book a go as it's something a little different to your normal erotic novel it is written so brilliantly.<br /><br />Cartel is intriguing, not your typical erotic novel,a perfect bad boy to fall in love with and so amazing!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b style="text-decoration: underline;">My Verdict</b><br />Yes DI Sean Corrigan is back in this fourth book by Luke Delaney! I am such a fan of Delaney's work. I was excited when I was sent a copy of The Jackdaw to read in exchange for a review from the publishers.<br /><br />Wealthy Londoners are being abducted by one lone vigilante who is putting their fate in the hands of his viewers on the internet. He films the victims live online bound to a chair in a white room.. The vigilante explains their crimes of greed and why they should be punished while thousands watch and make up the jury. Once everyone votes the man who calls himself 'The Jackdaw' is the judge and executioner.<br />Di Sean Corrigan and his team need to work quick and fast to catch this vigilante before more people are killed...<br /><br />Luke Delaney is definitely on the same par with Mark Billingham's books, Although Delaney is slowly becoming more my favourite crime/thriller author! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Jackdaw made me feel very creeped and I always play in my mind that these could easily happen in real life. From the first chapter I knew I was going to enjoy another book by Luke Delaney. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />It was great to catch up with Di Sean Corrigan although with this case he feels he can't get into the mind of the killer like he has done with his past cases..he has this thing where he gets deep into the case and in his mind becomes like the killer to try and understand the killer and get one step ahead, this book however Sean seems to struggle but the mystery and suspense keeps you on the edge throughout the book, I did not see the ending coming at all! Although the last chapter I felt there was something missing......which makes me eager for the next installment now!<br /><br />Luke Delaney's style of writing is great because with his experience of being in the Metropolitan Police and CID dealing with high level crimes and investigated murder cases makes his books so good with plenty of detail and definitely knows how to get his readers hooked.<br /><br />Delaney has once again written a superb crime book with plenty to keep you hooked all the way through and deserves 5 star rating!<br />Don't wait around but buy this book now!</span><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I am part of the lovely Samantha Young's new book Hero's blog tour! Most of you will already know how much I really like Samantha's books so much and I am always highly recommending!<br />When the lovely Clara at Piatkus asked if I would love to be part of the tour I couldn't wait!<br /><br />Hero is all about Alexa Holland and Caine Carraway. Alexa's father was her hero until she finds something shocking that her and her mum weren't his only family, So Alexa has tried to turn her life around but when she meets a man who's as damaged by her fathers mistakes, she must help him!<br /> Caine Carraway doesn't want anything to do with Alexa's efforts to redemption but its not so easy to push her away. He will do anything in his power to get her to walk away and leave him for good by ignoring her, being rude to her..however that just brings them together and they start an intense and explosive affair!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wow! where can I start with Hero? I loved every freaking minute of it! It was pure intense every chapter, I really wanted to dislike Caine but my god he just sounds so gorgeous but obnoxious too which can make any girl weak at the knees!<br />I got frustrated at times as I just wanted to punch Caine for the way he was treating Alexa but I was also rooting for them to get together! You can tell deep down Caine is bit of a softy but is just so hard faced.<br /><br />The one that was different with Hero to the other books sam has written On Dublin Street is this is set in Boston,America instead of Edinburgh like ODS! But the different scenery doesn't make this book anymore fantastic than it already can be!<br /><br />Samantha knows how to write such amazing books and have her readers hooked by the first couple of pages! I know when I pick one of Samantha's books that I'm going to be engrossed so much for the next couple of hours. I recommend reading Hero and also Sam's other books too! </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />I really have to award Hero my rare Gold star for being so amazing, full of rawness, passion and is most definitely worth 5star++<br />Pick up Hero right now, You are missing out!</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhipIwG4tTjUb-U59mZP7NFf-sIzDaKZ9Hm5f6ShwqxoMkpbSqupvHC99OVBTFym_liFGcRtDX2rrQZDH6sTKLxq9wNXE0WkdnV0YCjhFy0FQ8ni7_fj_mPy-Fh1DYLfwwmD-L_WjYgveI/s1600/goldstar.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhipIwG4tTjUb-U59mZP7NFf-sIzDaKZ9Hm5f6ShwqxoMkpbSqupvHC99OVBTFym_liFGcRtDX2rrQZDH6sTKLxq9wNXE0WkdnV0YCjhFy0FQ8ni7_fj_mPy-Fh1DYLfwwmD-L_WjYgveI/s1600/goldstar.gif" height="289" width="320" /></a></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Hello Everybody! I have wanted to do something on my blog for a while now but never had the time to do anything but today is my first ever tag! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I couldn't wait to do the Harry Potter Tag which i got the idea from my lovely friend Katie @intothebookcase which you can check out her's <a href="http://intothebookcase.com/2014/08/04/the-harry-potter-tag/" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am such a huge Harry Potter fan whether its the books or the films! I basically grew up with Harry, Ron & Hermione in my life. Every time the books came out my dad would buy me a copy of the book on his way home from work at like 4.30am and it would be in my hands by time I woke up for school.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I remember when the last book Deathly Hallows I was queuing up outside Asda eagerly waiting for my very own copy with my mum & sister. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was the favourite for me, I loved reading about Ernie and the purple double decker bus but also the beginning of Hogsmeade, I kept dreaming I was there with a cup of Butterbeer so much!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I loved all the films in their own little way but hands down favourite has to be the first film, Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stones.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course I was happy with the ending, although I was gutted it was the last time we would be seeing them and with all the deaths that voldermort had caused did upset me a lot but it was nice to see how they ended up in their lives, it was cute! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I am Part of S.C. Stephens Thoughtful blog tour! If anybody knows who Kellan Kyle or read the thoughtless series then you will be mega excited to read this!<br /><br />Thoughtful is all about Kellan Kyle's story and how he is this big sexy rockstar and falls in love with his best friend's girlfriend Kiera.. which should be a big no no but he just can't help it!<br />If anyone read Thoughtless then you will know thats where the story began but that book was from Kiera's point of view, this time its all about Kellan!<br /><br />I was so excited when the lovely Clara from Little Brown asked me to be part of this blog tour as I've only recently just read the "Thoughtless" Series and loved it so I was thrilled when I was told there was a new book in the series!<br /><br />Kellan Kyle is one hell of a fine man! He comes across as a typical rockstar just wanting to bang every girl he can lay his eyes on but deep down he wants to settle down and have a girl who he can love forever..<br /><br />This book is just fantastic! I don't know how much I can talk about this book without telling you everything! You most definitely will love Kellan Kyle by the end of the book and will want to read the other books if you haven't already! I adored Thoughtful so much and while reading it answered so many things I had going through my head when I first read Thoughtless which I knew would only get answered by Kellan in his own story.<br /><br />Thoughtful has received 5 star rating for being amazing, sexy, blessed with handsome rockstar men and so perfect!!</span><br /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Today I'm part of the wonderful Fiona Gibson's new book As Good as it Gets? Blog tour. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I always know when I pick up a book by Fiona that I am going to be giggling along and they are a light hearted read.<br /><br />In As Good as it Gets? we meet Charlotte Bristow who has a lot on her plate, whether its working a full time job, dealing with her husband not having a job, or her 16 year old daughter Rosie who has just been newly signed to a model agency..Charlotte has it tough! Things are changing in their household and sometimes not for the better.<br /><br />I thoroughly enjoyed and loved this so much, there was plenty of laugh out loud moments throughout the book especially the beginning of the book started with letters with some humour had me giggling right away. I felt a little sorry for Charlotte throughout the book as you could really tell she had her hands full but also the way Fiona writes her books, its just like real life situations with no fairy tale dusting.<br /><br />Fiona has once again written a superb book that is light hearted with a beautiful colourful cover that is a great easy read. I would highly recommend picking this up next time your shopping.<br /></span><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><img alt="didn't like it " src="http://www.goodreads.com/assets/layout/gr_orange_star_active.png" /><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Publisher: HarperCollins</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: center;">
Publication Date: April 2014</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Book of you is about a lady called Clarissa who is being stalked by a work colleague called Rafe, he won't leave her alone, everywhere she turns he's there, he leaves her gifts and most certainly won't take no for answer. When Clarissa get's to be part of Jury service, she finally feels safe for a while...but for how long?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is no words to describe how hooked I was with this book and how I was really worried for Clarissa and what Rafe was going to do to her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Claire Kendal's debut novel and what a superb way to get noticed! The Book of You is just thrilling that your looking behind yourself just like Clarissa is doing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clarissa is a 38 year old English woman who takes up with a distant coworker one night at a little party after his book is published and something dark happens that changes her life in every way. This guy, Rafe, stalks her every move and she becomes like a prisoner in her own life. He's everywhere. Her house, her work, the park...and he leaves lots of notes and gifts for her.</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I liked the style of writing Claire has done, the way we flick between the "book" all about Rafe and his ways of stalking following instructions from a leaflet about Domestic abuse telling her to write everything down so that what she does. To present day but she doesn't get much of present day until she is that court being part of Jury service. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The question is when will Rafe get the picture that Clarissa isn't interested..maybe when it's too late? as Clarissa is writing in the journal every day she see's him and the unwanted gifts she keeps tucked away so when the time comes to go straight to the police that they will listen to her and there will be plenty of evidence... the only place Clarissa feels safe is in the Court House and when she gets to know the other people part of Jury service, she become's friendly with a guy called Robert but becoming more than friends with Robert angers Rafe and isn't a good thing!<br />The Book of You is one gripping and scary book! for fan's who love to read a good psychological thriller then you will love this! <br />You may not sleep without wanting to keep the light on but it'll be worth it!<br />5 page turning stars!</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Publication: 15th January 2015</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Publisher: Transworld</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Well I have heard so much about this book and the cover of the book drew me in straight away! I had the pleasure of getting an e-copy of Netgalley and I couldn't wait to jump in as I've heard from a lot of blogger friends that they had enjoyed it so I wanted to check out the book!</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>We meet Rachel who catches the same commuter train every morning when the train stops at this stop she sees a row of houses by the tracks where she imagines a life for a couple who she sees day to day on her commute who happen to live couple of doors down from where she used to live with her Ex Husband Tom.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Rachel one day is on the commuter train when she sees something terrible but once it has happened after that..things start to unravel so much....Rachel gets into deep then!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'l admit it is hard to like Rachel as she is a heavy drinker and just comes across as a bit of a nutter and seems to just stalk her ex husband a lot, I really didn't think i was going to be able to get into this book so much but I must tell you to carry on if you think your gonna hate it at the beginning because it gets bloody good towards the end chapters I was gob smacked as I never thought It was a certain character from the book at all.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>This review is hard to tell you what I loved the most without giving the story away too much! Although I can definitely say The Girl On The Train is the most talked about book of January 2015 and may even still be by the end of the year too!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> I have recently got into Psychological Thrillers and this book is definitely right at the top for me right now! It is the most thrilling and page turning book!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I had never of Paula Hawkins before but The Girl On The Train being her debut Novel she's definitely brought the blogging community to a craze this year!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I would definitely recommend going buying The Girl On The Train when its out on 15th January!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>You won't want to miss out!</i></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /><span style="color: #cc0000;">The Lovely Harpercollins Avon Team clubbed together and answered a few festive Questions and have offered a special giveaway too!!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;"><b>What’s your favourite Christmas tradition?</b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">KL: Decorating the tree</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HH: I’m a traditionalist, so it’s got to be midnight mass – I love seeing in Christmas with carols and candles a-plenty.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ED: Making my whole family (of adults) watch THE SNOWMAN cartoon after going to a carol service at Chester cathedral on Christmas Eve</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PK: Decorating the Christmas tree very quickly became my job (I’m a serious perfectionist). It’s now become tradition to watch me do it, and try to change it when I’m not looking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RN: Xmas eve lunch with the family then to the pub with my friends!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HH: The Assassin’s Apprentice by Robin Hobb – I haven’t read any of her books before but keep hearing how amazing she is. I can’t wait to get cracking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ED: LAMENTATION by C.J. Sansom (been waiting years for it!) and THE TAXIDERMIST’S DAUGHTER by Kate Mosse </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">PK: I read The Hobbit every year, so that, and probably Wuthering Heights again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">RN: I still haven’t read Wolf Hall and Bringing Up The Bodies and feeling ever more guilty about it, so probably those two. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Today is the last post for Festive-Blog-Athon! Feel kind of sad ending this today! I've had so much fun these past 24 days.. however will talk more of that later.<br /> First is my post about my Xmas Traditions from the past when I was growing up.</span> </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our First Tradition is on Christmas Eve for me and my younger Lois when we was younger was we used to get new pjs, put them on and then would snuggle up on the sofa to watch a couple of Christmas Films to bring in the Christmas and then would run upstairs excited for Christmas Day to arrive and would try and listen out for Father Christmas..which one year when I was younger I did hear bells and got all excited that he was here!</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;">As me and my sister are getting older we now have a tradition every Christmas Eve is the four of us go for a meal at the local pub and get all a bit festive and bring the Christmas cheer in after having a hard week at work with working in retail.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #38761d;">Christmas Day when me and Lois were younger was the exciting part being up at crack of dawn would run into our mum and dad's room and we weren't allowed downstairs until my dad checked if "he had been" only then could we run down stairs and see our presents!</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I’m a real Scrooge about Christmas…. until it gets to December!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I absolutely detest seeing Christmas cake and mince pies in supermarkets in September, and crackers and Christmas trees in my local garden centre when I’m still wearing flip-flops and a t-shirt. I feel like we’re wishing our lives away by planning something so short, such a long time in advance.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What’s happened to appreciating the joy of autumn, with its ever-changing colours and often warm, sunny weather? Much as I love Santa, I don’t want to see him before I’ve burnt Guy Fawkes!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, once December does arrive in it’s own good time, I embrace the festive season as much as Buddy-The-Elf, and adore planning the big day. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Our Christmas tree is always adorned with decorations that we bring out year after year, with many of them having sentimental meaning, like the decorations made by my children when they were small, and the New York ornaments bought on a festive family trip to my favourite city a few years ago.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nothing makes me happier on a dull December afternoon than switching on the tree lights to brighten up the house, then sitting toastily in front of our open fire looking at our Christmas stockings hanging on the fireplace, while anticipating the promise of a joyful Christmas just around the corner...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just don’t ask me to begin decking my halls with holly it in September!</span></div>

This year the first weekend closet to December is at the end of November so ours will be going up then! We bought an artificial tree a few years ago and we originally wanted the medium size but when we saw it at the shop it looked REALLY tiny, so we went for the large. What we didn't realise is that someone had messed up the signs and put the medium sign on the small tree so we got our large tree home and it was HUGE. We have a laugh every year about how we bought the wrong tree when we put it up!</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Grease and line the base and sides of a 22cm square tin. Melt 85g butter and 50g chocolate together in a small pan. Mix 120g flour, 140g sugar, 3 tbsp of the cocoa and ½ tsp bicarbonate in a bowl.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">sprinkles and edible glitter (optional), to decorate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Grease 2 x 16cm hemisphere cake tins, then dust with flour and shake out the excess. Stand the tins on two ramekins placed on a baking tray to hold them steady. Put the cake ingredients in a large mixing bowl, add a pinch of salt and whisk together until smooth and evenly coloured bright red. Divide the mixture between the two tins and bake for 45 mins. Remove from the oven, cool in the tins for 10 mins, then tip onto a wire rack and leave until completely cold.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Meanwhile, make the chocolate-orange ganache and the filling. Pour the cream into a saucepan, add the orange zest and heat until just steaming. Put half the white chocolate in a bowl, and the dark and milk chocolates in another bowl. Pour 50ml of the hot cream over the white chocolate (strain it if the orange zest is in big strands), and the remaining cream over the dark and milk mixture. Leave the bowls for 1-2 mins, then stir until smooth and glossy. Set aside to cool for 10 mins.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put the cream cheese in a bowl and whisk lightly to loosen. Add the icing sugar and the cooled white chocolate and cream mixture, then blend until smooth. Stir through the cranberries, then chill.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When the cakes are cold, you can start assembling. With the cakes flat-side up, use a 7cm biscuit cutter to mark a circle in the centre of each. Use a spoon to gently scoop a dip in each cake, about 4cm deep (save the crumbs for cake truffles – see tip, left.) Remove the cream cheese mixture from the fridge and use to fill the cavities in the cakes, spreading a little onto the flat surfaces too, to help them stick together. Invert 1 cake onto the other to create a sphere, and place on a wire rack set over a baking tray (this will catch any chocolate drips).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To ice the cake, the chocolate ganache needs to be the right consistency – pourable but not too runny. If it has set a little too much, place in the microwave for 10-20 secs, then mix until smooth; if it is too runny, chill until it has firmed up a little. Pour half the ganache over the cake, letting it cover the sides and run into the tray below (use the chocolate drips for cake truffles, see Tip). Cover the whole surface using a palette knife. This is just the first coating, so won’t fill the gap between the sponges. Chill the cake for 20 mins or until the ganache has firmed up a little.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove the cake from the fridge. Cover the gap around the middle with the remaining ganache, smoothing it all over with a palette knife. Return to the fridge for another 20 mins until firm, then transfer to a serving plate.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Melt the remaining white chocolate in the microwave in short 10-sec bursts.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have run my successful book blog <a href="http://www.kimthebookworm.co.uk/">‘Kim the Bookworm’</a> for over four years, and have read and reviewed thousands of books for publishers and authors and also have been fortunate to interview authors and meet some of my favourite authors too. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After working in sales and marketing for a number of years, which I thoroughly enjoyed I have finally realised that working with books and helping authors is what I love to do best and using my great admin and fabulous organisational skills, I am now living my dream!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I now work with publishers and authors helping them to promote their books, raise their profiles, organise blog tours and reviews, assist with social media activity, send out newsletters and arrange events. I work predominantly with an amazing digital and print on demand publisher Bookouture and am delighted to be working with a talented team of authors and publishing experts in a company that I know will be extremely successful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also review family friendly products, venues and attractions and travel at my blog Nash Reviews . I’ve been writing for a family friendly travel site for the last four years as well as an online lifestyle magazine and am keen to develop my love for family life. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being a mom to 7 year old Ollie is the other job in my life and is absolutely the best job I’ve ever had! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Combining these amazing jobs really is a dream come true for me</span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q) When do you normally get in the Festive spirit?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>I don't normally even think about Christmas before 1st December but this year working for Bookouture and reading all the Christmas books earlier this year has made me think about it much earlier and look forward to it so much more than normal. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q) What is a family tradition you like to have or do at Christmas?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>When we were kids, we were always allowed to open my GodMother's present on Christmas Eve, I always allow Ollie to open one of his on Christmas Eve too!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q) Favourite past Christmas?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Now that my Mom and Dad aren't here anymore, I'd probably choose one of our family Christmases when they were and we were all together. We lost Mom just over 8 years ago and Dad 1 and a half years ago and we always make sure we have a toast to "absent friends and family" and my sister and I share a moment as we raise our glasses! You don't realise that one day they'll be over and I wish I'd cherished those lovely Christmases more when I had the opportunity!</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q) Do you love buying/wrapping gifts and seeing everybodys face's on Christmas Day?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Yeah, I'm one of those annoying people who want everyone else to open their presents first. I could sit and watch everyone else for hours before I'm made to open mine!</i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Far too many to mention but I do love a Carole Matthews festive treat!</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>This year, Ollie and I will wake up and open our presents, then he will go to his Dad's for a couple of hours, while I start to prepare the food as I'm cooking this year for my sister and her family and my aunty. Then when he comes back, all the family will be here and we may have a little Christmas tipple or two before dinner. Love my family around me!</i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q) When do you normally put your Christmas tree up?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Normally around two weeks before Christmas. Not too early!</i></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Q) Favourite Christmas Movie?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #cc0000; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Miracle on 34th Street (Latest version). I remember going to see this at the cinema with my mom when I was about 25 and we both came out knowing that Santa Claus is real after all! A wonderful film that gives me a very special time of spending time with my darling Mom!</i></span></div>
