Today is my stop on the blog tour for Woodland Explorers Club: Shayla’s Wood Wide Web by Ewa Jozefkowicz and illustrated by Gillian Flint.


It’s Shyla’s birthday and she is so excited to receive a pair of binoculars that had belonged to her grandmother.


Hoping to see some birds, Shyla cannot believe her eyes when she sees a glowing ring of mushrooms. What could it be?


Together with her friends from the woodland explorers club, Shyla is determined to find out and do what she can to protect the nature around them.


My son loves these books and this was such a joy to read. We can’t wait for the next instalment in this fantastic series.

Review of The Party by Tessa Hadley

Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Party by Tessa Hadley.


In post war Bristol, sisters Moira and Evelyn go to a party at a pub in the docks. There they meet Paul and Sinden, neither of whom they are that keen on but something about them intrigues the sisters - especially Moira.


A couple of days later they agree to attend another party with these two and have their eyes opened to the world that they inhabit.


Over one night, in a new seemingly glamorous setting the sisters will learn more about one another than they expected.


This is a short book, but I flew through it and was fascinated by the descriptions of the post war era.


I look forward to reading more by Tessa Hadley.

Review of The Enigma Girl by Henry Porter

Today is my stop on the blog tour for The Enigma Girl by Henry Porter.


Slim Parsons works undercover for MI5, but her last job did not end well. Much to her surprise she is tracked down and ask to take on another job, this time as an investigative reporter. 


The job is finding out what is going on at a website and who is running it. It seems that neither side really trusts her and as the mystery deepens, old wartime secrets seem to rear their head.


This is a fantastic book and I love the wartime links.


A brilliant and unputdownable read. Fast paced and gripping, I was hooked from the very first page.


Highly recommended for thriller fans.


5 stars
