Its going well



Well I have finished my first book "A Bessing in Disguise"  and it taugtht me that "the grass is never greener on the other side"

The young girl wanted every thing she could not have and did not realise she had better

She wants her father, nightclub owner and drug pusher and all round bad sort, she has aunt and uncle who love her teach her right from wrong and feeds and clothe her. It takes the death of half-sister and a bullet to tell her that all she needs is love from those that love her.

All children should read this it teaches so much about growing up ....It took me back to days when I had to look after my mother instead of playing with friends. I'm so glad I cared for my mother she taught me so much more about life and right and wrong.

My next book "Breaking the Silence" is well underway and I'll be back with a review of this one too !!

Moving onto "B"

Just updating quickly to say I have finished A Blessing In Disguise !!

My review will be on blog in the next few days

So moving onto "B"



Breaking the Silence by Diana Chamberlian

Chamberlain (The Escape Artist) explores psychiatric tensions in this disturbing story of dark secrets and redemption. Before astronomer Laura Brandon's father dies, he asks her to visit Sarah Tolley, an elderly woman he's never before mentioned. This seemingly simple request sets off a series of alarming events, most dramatically the suicide of Laura's husband, Ray, and the subsequent emotional withdrawal of her five-year-old daughter, Emma. Laura tries to help her daughter by contacting Emma's birth father, Dylan Geer. Laura and Dylan's affair had been short-lived, and Dylan never knew he had a child. A bond is formed when the three get together, and Dylan decides to help Laura solve the mysteries. Despite minor flaws (the connection between Sarah and Laura's husband is obvious early on), the story offers relentless suspense and intriguing psychological insight (Chamberlain is a former psychotherapist) as well as a satisfying love story.

I am so intriged !!!

Why do I read upside down ??

This is me .... Reading book number 1 upside down !!!


I thought you might like a little background as to why I read upside down !!! so here goes ....

When I was little My Mum was diagnosed with and disabled by M.S. Being a carer for her, along with my Dad, I got behind with school work ..... so my English teacher said try reading books upside down. As your brain takes the information in differently and you store it better.

It seemed to work for me as I have lots of random knowledge tucked away in my brain for those useless pieces of information discussions LOL. I also found it helped with my recovery from 2 Mini Strokes that I had some years ago.

Reading upside down has been a point of discussion with many people I have met on buses trains and planes.."Excuses me your books upside down" then the story begins to be told ...

Its the ones that dont say anything, yet you can see them looking at you puzzled .....

What must they be thinking LOL ???
