I've said it before and I'll say it again. When I get stressed, I read. Disappearing into another world helps me escape everything I want to avoid thinking about in real life.

This month I managed to make it through 6 books and no doubt my favourite of the month was Love, hate & other filters by Samira Ahmed. Why not ... READ MORE »
