⛴Dementia Adventure and Seaweed in My Hair Book Review ⛴

⛴Drugs,Seaweed and the Isle of Arran⛴

Dementia Adventure/Seaweed in my Hair are two novellas which are part of the Arran Trilogy by Miller Caldwell.These books can be read as standalone stories.

Dementia Adventure focuses on ex postman Ronnie,who spots a potential crime being committed,but because he has dementia,the police won’t believe him.

Seaweed in My Hair focuses on Londoners Kate and Greg Bailey,as they attempt to move to the Scottish Isle of Arran,except one of them isn’t as keen on the move as their partner thinks.

My favourite character from both novellas is Ronnie the ex postman from The Dementia Adventure.I love the fact you really get a sense of what having dementia really is like,and how people’s perceptions of the disease can be wrong.

My favourite part of the Dementia Adventure was when Ronnie was proved right,and people began to take him seriously.Ronnie was such a likeable character and I really felt for him.

I have to say I did not really get into Seaweed in my Hair,I found it very slow pace,as the story took ages to get going,and I never really connected to the characters,I felt they were quite two dimensional and didn’t have much depth to them,and also I felt the story was rushed and parts of the story felt rushed just to fit in to the novella format.

I would recommend this book to people who love crime fiction books like Vera or Midsomer Murders.

Huxley vs his parents,but who knows best!!

This Much Huxley Knows by Gail Aldwin - Review Huxley vs his parents,who knows best!! This book is a standalone novel written by Gail Aldwin.The story is told through the eyes of 7 year old Huxley.When Huxley means Leonard at the hairdresser,Huxley just sees him as a lonely man,but his parents have other ideas. My favourite character was Huxley,I loved his childhood innocence and how he views the world.All the characters are very well rounded and the reactions of the adults are sadly only too believable in this day and age. My favourite part of the book is when Huxley is proved right,and I loved the way the book gets the reader to think like a child and how differently children see things in the world The only thing I struggled with in the book was when Huxley pronounces words wrong on purpose,i found it hard to relate to this part of the story,and didn’t quite understand the relevance of this,maybe this is just me and I couldn’t quite get into the brain of a 7 year old. I would def

My favourite character was Merrin (Merry) Kellow,she was so believable and her story was brilliantly told.I also fiesty Bella,Merry’s best friend,I found her excitable nature infectious. My favourite part of the book was when Merry realised that Port Charles was her home and she didn’t need to be afraid of it. Part of the book made me laugh,and part of the book made me cry,which is the perfect combination.I loved reading the description of the stunning Cornish scenery. If you love beautifully written emotive fiction then this book is for you. Bookworm rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Links Love Book Tours Kelly A Lacey Amanda Prowse To Buy

Fate,Love and Magazines!!

Fate,Love and Magazines!! Love by Design by Effie Kammenou Love by Design is book 2 in the Meraki Series.Although this book is in a series it can be read as a standalone novel. The book focuses on Mia Andarakis ,who has recently been promoted to work on a new magazine called Opul,and her relationship with magazine editor Nicholas Aristedis. My favourite characters were Mia and Nicholas,the characters were very well rounded and I really felt both characters as they had both gone through trauma in their lives. I loved the twist in the middle of the book which connected the lives of Mia and Nicholas,as well as the flashback chapters concerning what had made them the people they had become. I think the scenes written around Nicholas’s grief were well written,and grief can totally destroy you and I really felt for Nicholas. The book was a brilliant piece of romantic escapism,yet tackled some really difficult issues with some harrowing scenes. There wasn’t one thing I disliked about this b
