Our Top 5 Places to Read

Hey Guys,

So today's post is slightly different, I don't think that this really needs much of an intro so I will just jump right in.

1. In Bed

This is probably my favourite place to read, with the bedside light on and some relaxing music playing quietly in the background, this is a great way to wind down after a long day at work or school. It doesn't have to be long, just 10-15 minutes makes a huge difference having a peaceful night's sleep and a fresh start to the next day.

2. On Holiday

Another place where I love to read is on the beach on holiday. The sun shining on your back, enjoying your book and generally having a great time. The atmosphere just finishes the experience off. There isn't much else to say to be honest.

3. In the Garden/Park

I love reading amongst the twitter of the birds, laid on a picnic rug next to a smoothie with my headphones in. So peaceful and such a relaxing way to spend your day! Its nice having the sunlight on your back and the cool sweet breeze tickle the hairs on my neck.. Mmm....

4. On A Plane

There is something special about boarding a plane, with you sunglasses in your bag, ready for a holiday, finding your seat, and sitting down ready for a long journey, then reaching for your book or magazine and enjoying a long stress free reading opportunity, after all the holiday organisation stress, to read.

5. By a Warm Fire

I love relaxing in my comfy chair, in front of the fire, grabbing a book and a cup of hot cocoa, on a cold winter's night is just wonderful. Your feet feeling toasty in your fluffy socks and the crackling of the fire as the logs burn. Just lovely.

Review: Missing Trio by Sophie McKenzie

Hey Guys!
I love this trilogy of books! All my friends have read them and are fighting over who gets to read the last one next!

Girl, Missing is the first of the three and it grips you throughout.

Lauren is an adopted child who seeks her real parents. But things get more complicated when she finds out why she was adopted... A kidnapper is on the loose who is willing to do anything that will stop her from finding her true family.

Sister, Missing is the second book and is such a thrilling book;

Lauren's life is now back to normal, but a day out to the beach soon goes wrong. Her sister Madison is kidnapped and Lauren  finds herself battling with love, blackmail and mystery. Madison's disappearance strangely links with Lauren's kidnapping and she is determined not to let them get away with it again.

Missing, Me is the final book of the three and is in Madison's point of view. It occurs when Madison is 15 and shows the development of the characters very well. Only just finished this book and I loved it!

Madison is determined not to be in Lauren's shadow but when she begins a search for her anonymous donor father, she is caught up in a dangerous plot involving a cruel scheme to part babies from their mothers. Madison doesn't know who to trust but when Lauren is once again kidnapped for her child, Madison realizes that it is all down to her.

I recommend these books for anyone as it is a mixed genre and can be enjoyed by anybody!

See you later,
Keep on writing,
