Synopsis:

A lot of people have a preconceived notion on what poetry is...Well I'm here to try and change peoples minds. My writing is honest, raw, down to earth and very far from being pretentious.
A collection of short poems, some hard-hitting but an easy to read book, with something for everyone to enjoy.
Poems about life, love & death.

Review:
What I know about poetry could fit on the back of the postage stamp and still have room for the entire works of Shakespeare. All I know is what I do and do not like; and this definitely falls into the first category.
I could offer a pretentious review of this collection of poems, but that would be an insult to the unforced and truthful nature of Brown's work.

I would recommend this book, it appeals to even the poetically ignorant, like me.

Book Release: The Oracle

Happy New Year! Hello lovely readers, I hope you're all having your perfect New Year. Whether that's going to parties, time with family; or as I am probably doing (this post was pre-written) sitting in my new Christmas pyjamas reading the new book my boyfriend got me. (Or my best friend has persuaded me to go out and let my hair down). 2016 had many highs and lows. It was an awesome year for the Olympics and sport in general: Charlotte Dujardin and Valegro cemented their place in horsey history. The ongoing wars, refugee crises, , and horrendous attacks. This has also been the year that we have lost so many legends, it seems unreal. I'm not even going to mention politics... I have high hopes for 2017 being a great year.

Greaveburn

Greaveburn by Craig Hallam 3 out of 5 Synopsis A Hero murdered. A Girl alone. A city of Villains. From the crumbling Belfry to the Citadel’s stained-glass eye, across acres of cobbles streets and knotted alleyways that never see daylight, Greaveburn is a city with darkness at its core. Gothic spires battle for height, overlapping each other until the skyline is a jagged mass of thorns. Archduke Choler sits on the throne, his black-sealed letters foretell death for the person named inside. Abrasia, the rightful heir, lives as a recluse in order to stay alive. With her father murdered and her only ally lost, Abrasia is alone in a city where the crooked Palace Guard, a scientist’s assistant that is more beast than man, and a duo of body snatchers are all on her list of enemies. Under the cobbled streets lurk the Broken Folk, deformed rebels led by the hideously scarred Darrant, a man who once swore to protect the city. And in a darkened laboratory, the devious Professor L

The Collected Regrets of Clover

The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer 3.5 out of 5 Synopsis Clover Brooks has forgotten how to live. It might be because she spends her time caring for people in their final days, working as a death doula in New York City. Or it might be because she has a regret of her own - one she can't bring herself to let go of. But then she meets Claudia: a feisty old woman who has one last wish . . . As Clover begins a new adventure, will she remember how to live her own big, beautiful life? A big-hearted story about figuring out what you want from life - and then finding the courage to go after it. Perfect for fans of Sally Page, Ruth Hogan and Clare Pooley. Review Clover is a death doula - she helps people come to terms with their ending lives. She religiously records their final words of advice, or regrets; to the point where she forgets to live. I received a free copy from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. The story follows Clover, a woman in her mid-thirties. Despite
