It's been more than a year between book reviews. How did that even happen? I've been reading. I've been enjoying reading. I just haven't gotten around to sharing that enjoyment with you all. Well, this time I am. AND I have a copy to give away! ...
The Mother’s Promise – Sally Hepworth (book review)
Well, well, well. It's been a while between posts. Hi! How are you? It's so nice to see you here. Thank you for sticking around. Or coming back. Or visiting for the first time! Life's been interesting, and between work and the 'interesting' life ...
The Little Girl Who Lost Her Name – a Lostmy.name book review
I have a confession to make: I don't usually like personalised children's books. Perhaps that's because when I was growing up, they just weren't that great. Did you ever get one? They'd be impersonal stories, semi-well-written but vague enough to ...
Practical Perfection – Kelly Exeter (book review and GIVEAWAY)
Perfectionists, rejoice! There's a new book in town. By the one and only Kelly Exeter. And it's as practically perfect as the title suggests. --- Practical Perfection / Kelly Exeter (Swish Publishing, 2016) If you've ever been told ...
Once Upon a Twice – Denise Doyen and Barry Moser (book review)
Once Upon a Twice / Denise Doyen and Barry Moser (Dragonfly Books, 2009) This book has become a firm favourite since my son received it for Christmas. Once Upon a Twice is a tale of caution. It's a fable told not in the straightforward ...

Click, Clack, Moo and more: A Barnyard Collection – Doreen Cronin and Betsy Lewin (book review)
When my (now five-year-old) daughter was still a bub, I had a vivid dream. It was about a group of cows that were owned by Peter Combe, and they went on strike until their demands for juicy, juicy green grass were met. I shared this incredible dream ...
Too Busy Sleeping – Zanni Louise and Anna Pignataro (book review)
I have been a bloggy fan of Zanni Louise's for a very long time. I met her late last year, and it was wonderful to chat words, blogs and children in the Queensland sun. I was delighted when she sent me an advance copy of her debut children's book, ...
Without My Mum – Leigh Van Der Horst (book review)
Earlier this year, I lamented the lack of books and stories about grief when I shared my own story of grief. I was, and remain, annoyed that grief is a largely taboo subject. We are expected to sweep feelings of grief and loss under the carpet, and ...
Bears in the Night – Stan and Jan Berenstain (book review)
Who loves the Berenstain Bears? Who sees a pic of them and is instantly transported back to childhood? Who couldn't wait to have kids just for the excuse to revisit them? Is your hand in the air? Mine is. And one day, I'm sure my son will ...
