Release Day Blitz / Giveaway: An American Girl in Italy by Aubrie Dionne

Today I'm excited to be part of the release day party for An American Girl in Italy. I'm actually going to Italy myself in a couple of weeks, so this book couldn't come at a better time for me! Read on to find out more about the novel, and to enter the giveaway to win a booklet about Italy. I'll definitely be entering this one!


An Italian paradise is the last thing she wants... but the one thing she needs!

Surely any girl would kill for the chance to tour Italy’s most famous cities for the summer? To experience the warmth of the Tuscan sun, the culinary delights of the pizzerias and caffés and to stroll along the cobbled streets of the City of Love itself...
Any girl apart from ambitious oboist Carly Davis that is! For her, the Easthampton Civic Symphony’s latest European tour is one massive inconvenience. She can’t even put her smartphone down long enough to snap a picture of the Coliseum.
Only, there’s one Italian attraction that Carly hadn’t quite expected to be a part of the tourist route... 

Tour guide Michelangelo is as dark and delicious as Carly’s morning espresso. And when she needs a few lessons in the language of love to land her an important gig, he’s a more than capable tutor.

But with her promising career back in Boston, can Carly really afford to lose her heart in Italy?

Feature and Follow Friday: Featured Blogger!

Image
Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read . And guess what... I was lucky enough to be chosen to feature this week! So welcome one and welcome all, take a look around! This week's question: post a photo of your favourite coffee mug. I haven't really got many mugs that mean much to me, but my mum got me this one for my twenty first birthday. It sits by my bed so it's the one that I always use when I'm reading. The poem on the side reads " A mug to keep for years to come, to remind me of when I was Twenty One ." So cute! Interview Questions: When did you start blogging? I started blogging last December. I graduated from university with an English Lit and History degree last summer, and after leaving I found it odd no longer writing about the books that I was reading. I found myself keeping notes, which gradually turned into reviews, and the idea of starting a book blog just popped into my head one day. Little did I know ...

Top Ten "Gateway" Books/Authors In My Reading Journey

Image
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and the Bookish . This week the theme is Top Ten Gateway Books. I really loved this topic as it made me look back over my relationship with reading, from learning to read to studying English Literature at university. Reading has always been an important part of my life, and on reflection there are a number of books that mark turning points in my reading journey.  1) Roger Red Hat - Sheila K. McCullagh The first point in any reader's journey is learning to read at school. I learnt with what Google tells me were called the One Two Three and Away collection of reading books, but I've always known them as Roger Red Hat, Billy Blue Hat, Jennifer Yellow Hat etc.  I remember around ten years ago a friend whose mum used to be a teacher found the books in her attic and we re-read them all in an afternoon. 2) The Tale of Mrs Tiggywinkle - Beatrix Potter A childhood staple. Family visits to the Lake District, The World of Beatrix...

Review: Victoria by Daisy Goodwin

Image
I've always been very interested in the life of Queen Victoria. It's hard not to be when you're named after her! So it was with some delight that I discovered ITV were making a television series all about her early years, penned by the wonderful Daisy Goodwin. Despite my initial frustration to discover that the majority of the series was filmed within an hour's drive of my house and I knew nothing of it, I was glued to my screen every night for the eight week duration (Captain Poldark had to wait for iPlayer). So when I heard that Daisy had written a novel to accompany the series, complete with extra scenes, well I headed straight online to pre-order it. The cover is beautiful and perfectly fitting, and I dived right in as soon as it arrived. "In June 1837, the eighteen-year-old Victoria wakes up to find that she is Queen of the most powerful nation in the world. But will she be queen in her own right, or a puppet controlled by her mother and the sinister Sir John ...
