Not just a mummy, I'm an avid reader, soon to be wife, and geek, among other things. We all have many labels in this life, here I'm sharing my label of book lover. As a mummy I'm unable to read as much as I'd like but stay around and let me know your thoughts.

Experience 50 pages of spiiiiine-tingling supernatural terror and science fiiiiiction...

CRASH - A hard landing on an alien plaaaaaanet...
COLLISION - A world changing incident at the Laaaaaarge Hadron Collider...

A wonderful collection of short stories. 4 Spine tingling must reads for all fans of supernatural terror. The writer manages to bring you into a fully formed world in a matter of minutes, makes your hair stand on it's end and leaves you wanting more. I closed the book with a feeling of sanctification and disappointment. John, come back and finish me(it) off!!!

Book Review: While My Eyes Were Closed - Linda Green
While My Eyes Were Closed
Book Description:
One, two, three . . . Lisa Dale shuts her eyes and counts to one hundred during a game of hide-and-seek. When she opens them, her four-year-old daughter Ella is gone. Disappeared without a trace. The police, the media and Lisa's family all think they know who snatched Ella. But what if the person who took her isn't a stranger? What if they are convinced they are doing the right thing? And what if Lisa's little girl is in danger of disappearing forever?
My Thoughts:
In a nutshell I loved this book! It's quick, fast pasted, and well written. I read this while on holiday with my family, and found myself reading at 3 o'clock in the morning as my kindle wouldn't leave my hands. It's a harrowing tail of a mothers struggle when her child goes missing that made me hug my little girl that little bit tighter. I have also made the decision that I will never allow my child to play hide and seek in a public place! I shed tears while reading, and stopped breathing a couple of times.
The closer I got to the end the less I wanted to read for 2 reasons. 1, I didn't want it to finish, and 2, I didn't want to know what happened at the end.
I'm going to include the amazon page below because I think all should read it as soon as possible.
