The Daily Goal Setter
*sent to me FREE in exchange for an honest review* Look guys, I know when someone says they’ve been sent something for free to review there’s some trepidation attached.

Why I Temporarily Quit Blogging…
It’s been months since I last posted onto my blog. For a while, I had no sense of longing to return to it.

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman [Review]
BLURB No one’s ever told Eleanor that life should be better than fine. Meet Eleanor Oliphant: She struggles with appropriate social skills and tends to say exactly what she’s thinking. Nothing is missing in her carefully timetabled life of avoiding social interactions, where weekends are punctuated by frozen pizza, vodka, and phone chats with Mummy. But everything changes when Eleanor meets Raymond, the bumbling and deeply unhygienic IT guy from her office. When she and Raymond together save Sammy, an elderly gentleman who has fallen on the sidewalk, the three become the kinds of friends who rescue one another from the lives of isolation they have each been living. And…
