The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher | Book Review

The Christmasaurus by Tom Fletcher CHARMED ME, unexpectedly. I was a little bit skeptical about how dinosaurs relate to Christmas. However, I was willing to give it a whirl.

A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig | Audiobook Review

A Boy Called Christmas by Matt Haig was just the PERFECT audiobook to put me in a cheerful, Christmas sort of mood. I am so glad that I downloaded it on a whim from Volumes. It’s the sort of audiobook that is good for the whole family. It’s one that I could really see being […]

FYI, it feels weird that when you read this it will be snowing and blustery and cold whereas, I am […]
