Having a Ball on Tour – stop 2: Total Book Geek
Here we are are the second stop of the Having a Ball book tour. Today I’m talking to Athena at Total Book Geek about my top ten tips on organising a ball (and sampling some rather nice wine). She gave the book 4 out of 5 stars (phew!) and if you leave your own top tip, you have a chance to win one of two copies of Patently in Love.

When the going gets tough, the tough throw a party.
Stevie has always relied on her brother to bail her out of trouble. Now she needs to prove to him that she can be independent and mature. When she takes a job organizing a charity ball for some slightly barmy retired academics, she’s not expecting to fall in love with the rambling old house, the even more rambling family that lives there and Tom, the boss’s son.

Inheritance Books – Abbie Headon
Welcome to Inheritance Books in 2014! To start it off this year, we’ve got a poet. Abbie sent me the most helpful submission by reading the blog and preparing her contribution to be exactly right, so that all I had to do was drop the text in. Thanks Abbie, this makes you a Top Contributor. If I had an award for that, you’d get it. Anyway, on with the show.

A new year, a new blog and you can all help
Reblogged from readful things blog:
So, I was talking to Julian this afternoon and we have hatched an idear. (Brits. Everything ends in R.) We have devised a way to give people a simple way to contribute to something fun and get a little exposure for their blogs.
We have started a new blog, "Line by Line" which you can find here :
This sounds like a very fun idea. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens!

Goodreads Book Review: The Wedding Diary by Margaret James
The Wedding Diary by Margaret James
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve read The Silver Locket, which is one of the historicals written by Margaret James. I enjoyed it a lot and learned a fair bit about the war in the process. The Wedding Diary is a bit of a departure as it’s set in contemporary times. I readit mainly because I was curious to see how a contemporary novel would compare to the historical ones.
