Guest Post: ‘My top 5 shopping spots in London’ from Nicola Doherty, author of If I Could Turn Back Time

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for If I Could Turn Back Time by Nicola Doherty. And as part of it Nicola is going to share her Top 5 Shopping Spots in London. I loved reading If I Could Turn Back Time (see my review) and highly recommend it for all you Chick-lit fans out there! Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Below Nicola shares her top 5 shopping spots in London. My top 5 shopping spots in London None of these are clothes shops. This is partly because you don’t need to know about my favourite clothes shops which are the same as loads of other people’s (Whistles, Mango, Ted Baker, Gap) and partly because these days I often prefer to shop online, at Atterley Road, Shopbop and Asos. I also love Nougat: terrible website, great knitwear and dresses.

Pastime Pleasures #5 – Bitten by Kelley Armstrong

Welcome to my  feature, Pastime Pleasures, posted every other Friday. Today is the turn of Bitten by Kelley Armstrong. Here I will look at books that have given me great pleasure in the past. These are books I can read over and over again. The only rule is that the book must have been published five or more years ago. Bitten is the first book of Women of the Otherworld Series and can be read independently or by sequence. The narrator of Bitten is Elena, a werewolf, who was bitten 10 years previously. We follows Elena from denying that she is a werewolf to becoming more accepting and joining the pack. Bitten is set in a modern world, and will make you wonder if such super-naturals exist and if so how well hidden are they? There is action, adventure and romance packed into this brilliant book. And you cannot but help fall in love with the playful pack of wolves. Nor wonder why Elena wanted to abandon that life. Although saying that there are some occasions which made me very glad […]
