Happy Thursday Lovelies! We’ve almost made it to the weekend. What don’t you stop what you are doing, make a brew or coffee, what ever takes your fancy, and spend a couple of minutes with me.

It’s my stop on the blog tour of Spot light of Everville: The Fall of Brackenbone by Roy Huff with you, courtesy of Love Books Group Tours

For a change I’m sharing a spot light, however I do have this tucked away waiting to be read. I’m really looking forward to snuggling down and getting stuck into it. It has all the ingredients to be the recipe for a book I will love.

So watch this space as I will be adding a review sometime soon!

"This play represented such a turning point for me as an actor. I'd just come out of drama school and I was playing opposite Geoffrey Rush. I had to leave my own baggage at the door and take on this character who would be understood by some and hated by others. Mamet has taken all the extraneous stuff away and left you with just this searing, polemic essential battle to the death. Geoffrey and I keep saying Oleanna is an inkblot test, because your reaction to it reveals to you your own sense of politics. It's so provocative — afterward, people were shouting at one another passionately. To see that happen in the theater lobby, which can be such a bourgeois, polite space, I just knew this is what I should be doing with my life."
