A Daddy For Christmas by Lizzie Spriggs

A Daddy For Christmas by Lizzie Spriggs


I chose this book as I had seen the author online and knew that it was inspired by characters in the show Our Flag Means Death. This book is a fun read. I loved the characters of Sid and Lucas and the banter between them was great, it starts off as a fake father/son relationship and then it progresses. The characters voices are strong and the interplay between them is great. It's an ideal read for the cosy festive period (even though I read it in April) There are some very moving scenes in amongst the humor too and it's well balanced. There were class dynamics that I found really interesting too and I love the found family trope. Thank you to the author, the publisher, and to Netgalley for this ARC.

 Hello you, Well, it has been quite a while since this little blog of mine was updated. Life gets in the way I suppose. I will be returning to it again in the coming days and months. I have a few posts I want to write about the Cardiff trip I took in May of this year and to write down some future travel plans.  For now though, the next posts will be book reviews.

Life Hacks For A Little Alien Alice Franklin

  A story for everyone who has ever felt just that little bit different.  The tale of Little Alien is heartwarming and we follow how they navigate the world around them through the book they are trying to understand, it is t old from the second perspective.  When the Alien discovers the unusual Voynich manuscript she becomes convinced that it will explain the mysteries of the world, and ultimately herself too.  .Personally second point of perspective is a little bit tricky to read at times as its not something I overly choose to read. It's a very quick read and does flow well and it is broken at times by footnotes.  Thank you NetGalley as always and to little, Brown and Company for sending this book to review.
