I treated myself to some new wax melts. I ordered them through a friend. The box smelt gorgeous when I opened it up. Can‘t wait to chill up later and read with my wax melts burning. Scents are black cherry, juicy orange and daffodil with vanilla.

Maya, 12, visits her dad daily in hospital. He‘s fast asleep and can‘t wake up. Her dad is a professor who has made an invention whereby you can travel into people‘s dreams. His evil boss has trapped him inside a nightmare. Maya and the Dream Bandits have to rescue him before it‘s too late. A brilliant book for MG and big kids like me! Perfect for reading out at bedtime story. I love the fact the author speaks to you throughout the book. 4🌟

2. My 2 girls and hubby - everything if I is for them. I can‘t rest at night until I know everyone is home safe
3. I loved The Weasleys from HP - down to earth, friendly and caring 💕

#litsylovereads
Set in southern Appalachia, a heart wrenching story of a young boy born to a single mum in a trailer park. Told in Damon‘s words he lives through child labour, foster care, high school and crushing losses.
This book is full of anger, hate and compassion, yet tells the story of the need to be loved. It features drug use and how its effects can wreck lives of loved ones. It is a depressing read but there is beauty within it too.

Leonie finds herself out of a job at the beginning of the book, her boyfriend has left her too. Whilst out walking her rescue puppy she stumbles across a beautiful cottage hidden in the woods. She is determined to find out about the history of the property. As she finds out more and uncovers secrets about the abandoned cottage, can she let love and joy back into her life?
A sweet, cosy read with a great plot and warm characters. 4🌟

A beautiful, neurotic, London socialite called Magnolia and the bad boy , Baxter, who broke who heart. They hurt each other, she dates other people and he sleeps with girls to get back at her. Whatever happens, they crawl back to one another. This is not a romantic book! Their relationship is unbelievably toxic and should never be tolerated in real life. The book has words of love which were just words. An ok read but I won‘t continue the series.

Britain, 1941, the Ministry of Unladylike Activity is training children as spies. May, Nuala (the narrator) and Eric are the newest recruits. Living in a London Mews whilst training they come across an unlikely collection of neighbours and a dead body. Is this the missing spy everyone is talking about?
The wartime backdrop was really interesting and vivid descriptions of daily life during the Blitz brought the story to life. 3🌟
