UNCHARMED by Lucy Jane Wood - Spotlight

 


The spellbinding new cosy fantasy, Uncharmed (Berkley) from bestselling author Lucy Jane Wood is perfect in every witch way…

Annie Wildwood is practically perfect in every witch way. Her life is a haze of pink, magic, and impossibly high standards. But, when she is tasked with mentoring a troubled teenage witch with extraordinary powers, Annie’s charmed existence is quickly thrown into utter chaos…

Set in the same enchanting world as Rewitched, Uncharmed celebrates found family, unconditional love, and the joy of swapping perfectionism and people-pleasing for being your true magical self.


I found myself falling into the world of writing almost by accident. My blogging friends at university were applying for swanky magazine internships, and I decided I should probably do something useful like that for myself. It was an obvious decision that almost made itself on my behalf, because writing is just who I am, and reading has always just been what I do.

Since happily stumbling my way into my first paid writing position for teen website Sugarscape back in 2013, I've been lucky and thrilled to find myself working freelance for giant titles like Marie Claire US, Cosmopolitan UK, MTV, and Metro, amongst others.

THE LIONESS of LEIDEN by Robert Loewen - Review and Q&A

There are no shortages of true accounts and novels based on WWII. The Lioness of Leiden (GreenleafBookGroupPress) is a historical novel written from first-hand memories of author, Robert Loewen's mother-in-law, Hetty, along with her roommate, Mimi and 17-year-old, Maria. These ladies took on roles they never could have imagined during WWII in the Netherlands. They became Dutch resistance fighters fighting the Nazi Gestapo in the Netherlands, taking on more and more dangerous assignments. When the Nazis invade the Netherlands, these three women, at great risk carry documents, secret messages and cash to protect Jews, downed pilots and others in hiding.

Knowing that actual people suffered the consequences to fight fascism is difficult to process.  Complicated family relationships, tragedy suffered...
