Two bitchy men and a hag Sometimes I wonder what possesses a person to bitch at a complete stranger. I had the misfortune of being at the receiving end on three occasions. The first two, both delivered by men, happened on the first and second days in London. The first when we returned to the hotel to properly check in after lunch. I was entering the revolving doors behind what looked like a business man, when all of a sudden the automatic doors stopped. I gave them a small push, maybe they weren’t as automatic as they claim to be, when that monkey in a suit turned half around, eyebrows…

Entry 05 – London, baby! Part 2
Excitement galore and flat feet. Every woman knows it can be utter shit when Aunt Irma (monthly period) visits. It is also shit when she does so while on vacation. It is even more shit when she comes two days early, with massive cramps and a lovely migraine. Yup. That was my travel day to London in a nutshell. On top of that it was the hottest day in April since 2007, and I truly can’t stand the heat, my brain felt like it was slowly turning to liquid inside my skull. We arrived at Waterloo station and were then supposed to take the tube to Fenchurch station. We skipped…

Entry 04 – Stonehenge/Amesbury
Old news and new beginnings. The sun did not leave us all day and made our short stay in Amesbury an unforgettable one. Part of me has some difficulty writing about this day, because right when I was about to enjoy the magnificence that is Stonehenge I received some news that wasn’t what I had expected. It’s strange thinking about it now and trying to sort through all of my emotions; a pendulum of thoughts and feelings that run through me and of course the constant fear that the news will taint the memory of this experience. But I’m jumping ahead again. We arrived about half an hour later than…

Ronaldo: The Reindeer Flying Academy (Ronaldo the Flying Reindeer, #1)
Ronaldo: The Reindeer Flying Academy by Maxine Sylvester My rating: 5 of 5 stars I saw the author promoting this story on her Twitter account and was lucky to find it was included in my Kindle Unlimited subscriptions. What a lovely story this was. I wished I had found this back during the Christmas season. It would have been perfect to snuggle up with beside the Christmas tree, while sipping hot chocolate.I loved the optimism and good-heartedness through the story. The idea of working to be the best possible version of oneself is a great theme. And, of course, all the hot chocolate with marshmallows.Overall, this was a great little…

Deja Moo (Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum #3)
Deja Moo by Kirsten Weiss My rating: 2 of 5 stars I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the author in exchange for an honest review.Before I begin this review, I should admit that I have not read the first or second part of this murder mystery series, therefore all of my impressions have been formed only by this third installment.I found there were too many characters to keep track of to make for an interesting story. The main character felt slightly too confident and distant to allow for the reader to make a connection with her.My greatest obstacle with this story was the amount of detail it…

Donald Duck Vol. 7: Kingdom Under The Sea
Donald Duck Vol. 7: Kingdom Under The Sea by Rodolfo Cimino My rating: 5 of 5 stars Since Amazon.de took my money, deleted half my order and won’t send me the other half, I decided to take a look to see if Amazon.ca offered Donald Duck comics. I was extremely excited when I happened upon this volume, bought it immediately for my Kindle and read it on the spot. It worked well on my Kindle, but it only supported artwork in black and white. On my Kindle app for my Android it worked perfectly in colour. I enjoyed the stories and appreciated reading stories I haven’t read before in English.…

Entry 03 – Bath!!
I should state here that I am allergic to sugar in order to give some context about the following entry. So, here it is: I’m allergic to sugar, all kinds of delicious, glorious, sweet, velvety, nerve reducing, calming and comforting sugar, including fruit sugar. That out of the way, let’s begin, shall we? We had to transfer trains at Bristol Temple Meads for our 10-minute train ride to Bath Spa. The Bristol Temple Meads train station is relatively big, bigger than I assumed it to be based on the size of the town shown on the map. Teaches me once again never to assume. Since the Bath Spa stop is…

According to Audrey
According to Audrey by Happy LaShelle My rating: 5 of 5 stars I received this ARC from Red Coat Publishing and the author in exchange for an honest review.That was quite the trip down memory lane with respect to my first high school love. A lot of different emotions were running through me as I made my way through this story and I was truly invested in Dove’s journey.Although at times the protagonist came across as overly emotional and analytical with a big splash of teenage hormones, it was interesting to read her narration as she dealt with love, school, family and her uncertain future. She felt alive and real,…

Trick and Treat
Trick And Treat by Madison Faye My rating: 1 of 5 stars It’s a very long story how I stumbled across Trick and Treat on Amazon, but my curiosity won over, seeing how it promised to be centred around Halloween, my favourite holiday.I am relatively new to this genre and I understand that it is more heavily influenced by a person’s tastes and preferences than any other genre, because it deals with such a personal/intimate subject matter. I have to say, though, that this particular story of this particular genre was not my cup of tea.I found the author had a set vocabulary typical for erotica that she kept repeating…

Bossed Three Times
Bossed Three Times by Madison Faye My rating: 2 of 5 stars This story was part of a combo pack with and apparently, I had nothing better to do, but to read this one as well. I felt this one had more of a story arc and narration to it. It actually made me smile once or twice. Although, in this one the male characters had a tendency to purr (why? I’m not quite sure).More realism and less fantasy inspired, I was surprised how quickly I made it through the book. There was something about it, though, that didn’t seem believable (?), tangible (?) genuinely excitable (?). I can’t put…
