"I only heard about Parallelograms when I was asked to participate in a show that was her first performance ever in 2008. I didn't know her music and I just went into it learning the song 'Delicious'. It was pretty different to hers. I met her and talked to her briefly and we stayed in touch. Then later she came over to my place and it turned out she was writing again. She's a full-time dental hygienist now and she doesn't have a lot of time so it was useful for her to have another musician to work with. What I love about this record is the incredible arrangements - instruments are just there when you need them. They were done by Leonard Rosenman who's a pretty well known film composer. He was trying to become a producer and here you can hear what a delicate sensibility he has for timbre and tone. Linda had a huge role in that - I mean, she's not always delicate. But there is so much range and texture and dynamic. The songs are beautiful and the songs are incredible. Everything is done right, just so right, and done for the right reasons - for the love of music, clearly."

First of all, I love the gold foil on the cover. It is shiny and very nicely illustrated. The journal itself is very colourful, fun and informative. There are many various topics discussed in this journal, such as body image, mental health, mindfulness and many more. It has many many fun tasks in every section, to help the reader explore themselves, helps to deal with mental health struggles or stress in general. 🙂 This journal has a very fun balance between adulthood and childishness. The topics are serious and grown-up oriented, but the illustrations and colours remind of something from my teenage years. 🙂 At the end, this journal has a couple of pages of fun stickers and a couple of postcards as well, that made me extremely happy. 🙂

So, to conclude, I love this journal! It is very well designed, it helped me to relax and to explore myself and my view about me and my mental health. I am from the generation where no one discusses their mental health, so this journal helped me to see things differently. I strongly recommend this journal to anyone who has low self-esteem or needs a fun emotional outlet. It has boosted my mood, and I hope it will help someone else as well.

Siren ( The Prophecy book 4)
By Jessica Wayne

Her insecurities will be her downfall.

Anastasia Carter has spent her entire life fighting one war or another. After two years of peace in Terrenia, she is having trouble letting go of the voice inside her head that is telling her the battle is far from over.

When a new enemy rises and sets their sights on Dakota, Anastasia must risk it all to save the life of her husband.

Even if it means losing everything she fought to save.



At first I didn’t know what to think I mean she could have really ended it on the happy ending it was with Vincent dead!
Saying that I’m so glad she didn’t!! I absolutely love this world Jessica has written I love the characters and this book was full of emotion. If I had to critique one thing it will be the whole Elizabeth hiding who she was it kinda annoyed me a little that after discovering where Ana was and the person she was that Elizabeth kept quiet about her and Dekota! I have to say I absolutely went from hating Vincent to really liking him! Also what an ending!

Songs of the seas (siren tales book 1)
By Evelyn Belle

Description
Nerine, blessed by Poseidon, leads the god's sirens with unmatched skill and loyalty. Her life is dedicated to her position, with no room or desire for love. This wasn't always her life, but she's determined to thrive in the ocean, just as she did sailing the horizons above.Bruno is as powerful and twice as deadly as the sharks he commands for the sea god. A shark does not take denial well. Especially from a beautiful siren who changed his fate. He would kill for Nerine, if he doesn't kill her first. When Poseidon ascends to Olympus, Nerine and Bruno are thrown together, charged with protecting the sea. They clash like waves in a storm, but they both have the same goal--protect their people and please their god.But when a ship from Nerine's past appears, Nerine is forced to question her loyalty to her god, and Bruno must decide where his heart lies.

I love any book involving the Greek gods!
This was a brilliant take on Poseidon and his sirens!
Little sorry it only went up to 8 chapters hopefully the rest will follow soo!
