Spring Blogger Evening 2019 - Simon and Schuster

Last week I had the pleasure of going to the Spring Blogger Evening 2019 at Simon and Schuster. Books and the City.

I have been up to Simon and Schuster a few times and every time I am blown away with how amazing everyone is. So lovely and they welcome you with open arms. I cannot fault their hospitality, you will never meet a better bunch of people.

This year was the 2nd one that I have been to and after last year I knew it was going to be good, at first I didn't think I would be able to attend, however circumstances change.

Not even laryngitis was going to stop me going to this event, and I am SO glad it didn't. The author line up was amazing, below are the amazing authors who were there and the links to pre order their new books (I have chosen Amazon, however please do not take offence and purchase whereever you like!)

Not to mentioned the lovely - who weren't on the invite and left us all guessing:

  • Juliet Ashton - Coming December 2019!!!
 The event started how all good things start, drinks and food. SJ and her team always put on a good spread and a good natter - In my case this was with Louise Candlish and Juliet Ashton. What lovely ladies, I know at the last event I didn't get change to speak to them much but so glad I got time here. 


When the authors sat down to do their readings, I couldn't have been more excited to hear what they all have come up with now. The first 5 authors are ones that I have read a lot and they have left a lasting impression on me. What better way to spend an evening than to have them read to you from their new book. The other authors were a bonus, of course they all have something new coming out soon so was great to have a chance to have a chat to them about their new books.

I could not be anymore in awe of what these wonderful authors do, as well as all the S&S team. I cannot wait for many more to come. Every time I go I get to speak to some of my favourite authors who are so down to earth it is like having a natter with your best friend.

Thank you for a wonderful evening and letting me meet some amazing bloggers and fantastic authors!

The Slow Lane Walkers Club - Rosa Temple

  Buy Here This is my first book by Rosa Temple and it won't be my last.  I was a bit unsure when I started it. However I loved it.  Its not often I finish a book and end up hugging it because I loved it so much.  The characters were great, Hazel is amazing. She reminds me of an old family friend who never gives up no matter what. Daniel is a kind lad who I think is slightly misunderstood when he arrives back in Cornwall.  Their relationship is fantastic, one you can only dream about having with your grandmas friend.  This book is one big giant hug and it's exactly what I needed at the time of reading. Once you start you dont want to stop.  Best book of the year so far! 

Mimic - Daniel Cole

  Buy Here Having previously read Daniel coles books I was looking forward to this stand alone novel. It packs a punch right from the word go and it doesn't let up throughout the book. So many murders and so many what ifs.... And what an earths?!  I liked Chambers and Winter as detectives and their relationship that they had. They never lost charm even if there was a 7 year break in the book for them. They picked up exactly where they left off.  The book was very clever in the way that the murders took part. It was all a work if art. And don't worry if you are like me and aren't sure what they are there are paintings in the book to help you incase you cannot visual it. Great read. 

Rock Paper Scissors - Alice Feeney

Buy Here This has to be one of the best books that I have read in a while. It really does have that, just one more chapter feel to it. I don't want to say too much as it will spoilt it and the blurb speaks for itself.  I liked the characters in this book and it really does get you thinking. I actually had an 'omg what?!' moment with this book.. I had to go back an rethink everything I had read up until that point.  If i had start this during the day I'm sure I would have finished it in one too. Really great read and cannot wait to read morw by this author.
