On The Shelf- Shadows of the Apt

Or things that you’ve read too and you completely disagree with what I say about them…

I’ll probably group most things by series as I get to them and if y...

Let’s Talk About Wonder Woman

Hi guys and welcome to another Let’s Talk About… Where I don’t quite review something and just have a chat about it!

Hi Becky! Tell us a bit about yourself. 

Hi!

This is the year I became an author, self-publishing two children’s books after a few too many years of just thinking about doing it. Finding the Navigating IndieWorld group on Goodreads was one of the best things I could have done.
