Just started this book series by Nora Roberts and absolutely love it! I'm very much into “young-woman-changes-her-life-cause-she-just-inherited-a-mansion” type of stories, and this one adds a touch of haunted house mystery that needs to be solved.

The book that changed my life! I love how Jen Sincero discuss the touchy topics with humor and a most welcome kick in the ass. No “being too gentle” for her - you need to hear the truth and face yourself in the mirror. I love her style, it made me re...

The first book we bought from the Loup Gris series and it was a hit right away. Read it all day, every day! From 3yo onwards, and the fact that its a sound book makes it even more interactive. Loup Gris is now our favourite little wolf.

I enjoyed the 7 sisters series, but really LOVED two of them: #3 and #5. The shadow sister gives insights into a calm and introvert character : Star. A must for book lovers (like Star), and for the ones who enjoy Peter Rabbit (no spoiling)

My absolute #1 book of the whole Seven Sisters series! Why? This novel is made for all the witchy girls out there. The setting in Spain make you feel the sun, and Tiggy’s gifts are shown as part of her bigger family story.

This book taught me how our bodies are regulated around the clock and how to make the best choices for it depending on what time of the day it is. Also gives a great recipe for how to train your tastebuds out of sugar. Eye-opening.
