A young black British woman at university. Kiki, hosts the popular student radio show - Brown Sugar. Her mission iis to ensure Afro-Caribbean women understand their worth and guide them through heartbreak.

Will be worrying about this little lady all day. Just dropped Belle off at the vets to see if they can find out why she has stopped jumping, putting g weight on her back legs and no walking up the stairs 🥲Blood tests, x-rays and scans for investigation. ❤️🐾🐶

1. Baking Easter cookies/biscuits, taking the dogs out and movies with the girls.
2. The swifts by Beth Lincoln. As it was a middle grade mystery I just expected so much more. I felt it dragged, hardly any suspense - disappointed.
3. I loved reading Nancy Drew and Sweet Valley High 💕📕

Athena Liu has know June Hayward since studying at university together. Athena dies in a freak accident and June gets hold of an unfinished manuscript Athena was working on. How far will June go to keep what she rightly believes is hers?
I loved the first person voice throughout. The author tackles racism, cultural appropriation and the threats of social media. Full of dark humour, lies, scandals and deceit.

The second book in the series. Two summer camp counsellors reconnect after a one night fling. Russ and Aurora are both students at Maple Hills, their paths cross at the end of academic year. They bump into each other on the first day of summer camp, both fleeing their complicated home lives. One issue there is one rule every counsellor has to abide by ‘No relationships between any staff member‘. Will they or won‘t they? A spicy summer romance 💕

TieDyeDude “Of the several people who popularized the phrase in the early 1900s, one of them was Harry Gordon Selfridge. While he is lumped in with the others, the phrase he used was actually “The customer is always right, in matters of taste.“ With the idea being that a salesperson shouldn't judge the wants of the customer.“ 2w

Shenanigan Swift has always been known for mischief. A family reunion turns into a murder mystery and Shenanigan is ready to solve the case. With the help of her sisters, Shenanigan looks for suspects and finds out about hidden family treasure along the way. I was expecting a great mystery with some laugh out loud moments. I felt it was quite slow and lacked excitement and pace which was disappointing for a middle grade book.

AnneCecilie I didn‘t know anything about it before I dived in, so I enjoyed this one. All the family members. But of course if you expect a mystery book, I guess I can see your disappointments 3w

Whilst studying today I can across this interesting article on happiness chemicals - where do you think books and reading would go? 💕📖

TheKidUpstairs I think different books would fit in different categories. There are gripping, endorphin boosting stories; comforting hugs of oxytocin books; rewarding, challenging books that boost dopamine when you complete them; and breath of fresh air serotonin boosts in book form. That's one of the wonderful things about reading! 3w
Gissy Nice🙌 3w
Cupcake12 @TheKidUpstairs great thinking! 3w

Josie, an innocent 15 year old, sings in the local inn to make money for her family. One night, Adam - the youngest son of a crime family spots her and vows to make Josie is wife.
Josie now lives a life of lies and broken promises. When her life is put in danger she manages to flee with her baby son and fights for a good life. Will it be a happy ever after?
I was captivated by the writing and transported back in time. An unputdownable book! 4🌟

#LitsyLoveReads
An emotionally layered story about family, grief and love. William, grew up with tragedy and never felt the love of his family. He meets Julia Padavano, one of four sisters and a loving family. A huge family rift changes their lives and family forever but will loyalty bring them back together?
It took a while for me to get into the story but if
you like a deep rooted, multi generational slow story - this is definitely for you.
