What I Read in February

What better day to post this than on World Book Day? I love the fact that we have an entire day dedicated to celebrating all things books and reading. I love to read and I’m really proud that it’s a habit that both my little ones have inherited.

It’s been a really slow month for books in February. I started off strong with a book within the first few days, but I lost momentum after that and life got in the way of my bookworm habit. However, I still managed 2 books. So, here’s what I read in February.

The God of All Small Boys by Joseph Lamb

This is a review post. I was provided with a copy of this book in return for my honest review.

I was recently invited to take part in a book release blog tour for The God of All Small Boys. Written by Joseph Lamb, who – before turning to children’s literature – wrote historical drama. Therefore, it is of no surprise to me that The God of All Small Boys is packed full of detail and action. As soon as a I read the blurb, I knew I wanted to get on board and couldn’t wait to bend the spine on this particular book.

Indulging in a little Northern Soul with 45Revs

This is a review post. I have been sent these items for the purpose of this review, however all opinions are my own.

Northern Soul with 45Revs - what we were sent

Now I could talk about this all day but the short version is that Northern Soul is a music and dance movement which emerged from the British Mod scene. The music is heavily influenced by Motown and shares its quick beat and often soulful lyrics.

Living near to Manchester, Northern Soul infludence can still be seen today in not only the music and social scene but also fashion. 45REVS.COM have an amazing range of Northern Soul merchandise and they kindly sent us a box of goodies from their range. This is what we thought of them.
