READ

Lorali by Laura Dockrill

Young Adult

Unfinished/Ungraded

(The story got too weird for me to continue, & the point of view changes were choppy. Great concept and I loved a lot of it, just not enough to keep going through the too scary for me parts...)

Stirred With Love by Marcie Steele

Food Fiction, Romance

10E/10E

(Can't praise this story about a coffee shop changing 3 women's lives high enough!)

Cluttered Attic Secrets by Jan Christensen

Cozy Mystery

10E/10E

(Murder, secret rooms, humour, an incredible book to be read in daylight!)

Fairytale Beginnings by Holly Martin

Romance, Fairytale

10E/10E

(Has to be read to be believed, a bit like Beauty and the Beast, there's a castle with turrets and a unique community!)

The Mixed-Up Summer of Lily McLean by Lindsay Littleson

Children's, 9 years +

10/10E

(An engaging fun read involving the future and present...)

Then You Were Gone by Claire Moss

Thriller

10E/10E

(Incredible fast paced read with heaps of plot twists as a woman's boyfriend goes missing...)

Killer Run by Lynn Cahoon

Cozy Mystery, Crime

10/10E

(Body found on a community run leads coffee and book shop owner Jill on an investigation filled with drama and humour...)

Dangerous Reflections by Shay West

Young Adult

9/10E

(Ends on a cliff hanger which is a tad frustrating!)

Listened

Summer Daydreams by Carole Matthews

Shop Fiction, Romance

RELISTEN - 9/10E

(Enjoying watching Nell's skills in making and selling handbags grow, despite her frequent ability to be more selfish which affects her family life heavily.)

Watched

Hanasaku Iroha

Slice of life Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Love watching Ohana make so many errors when she first gets to her grandmother's traditional Japanese inn!)

Hanamaru Kindergarten

Slice of life Anime, Japanese version

10/10E

(This cute anime about a kindergarten is funny despite some occasionally not entirely appropriate themes if it were applied to real life...)

The Great British Bakeoff

Cookery show, English version

10/10E

(Now I'm planning on making a frangipane tart! Will skip the other two bakes...)

Once Upon A Time: Season 3

Fantasy Drama, English version

10/10E

(Getting weird but that's normal for Once. Love having Belle feature more now that characters are back in town!)

Winx: Season 3

Magical girl Anime, French version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Bloom dies and regains life while fighting Valtor!)

Winx: Season 4

Magical girl Anime, French version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Episodes are now much more cheerful!)

Secrets of China

Documentary, English version

9/10E

(Not as interesting as earlier episodes, but an emotional episode as the gap between rich and poor is demonstrated...)

Pretty Rhythm Dear My Future

Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(I'm on tenderhooks while waiting for the girls to start doing Prism Acts – they are nearly there! Mia is suitably hilarious...)

Aikatsu: Season 1

Music Idol Anime, Japanese version

REWATCH - 10E/10E

(Ran's just been in a fashion parade for her graduating seniors...)

Craft, games and more

I've played a little on...

...Hotel Dash, a Playfirst game which I thoroughly enjoy, carrying luggage and taking food to customers (who can include vampires and ghosts on the current level).

Craft wise I've hopped about a bit (plus being ill this week never helps) so no major progress to show you but...

...I've been baking! Made these delicious seeded rolls and had my first attempt at making truffles...

I may have made them years and years ago, but this first attempt didn't go to plan.
