Galaxy Quick Reads - mummy heaven

Those of you who have been reading my blogs for a while, firstly I'd like to apologise, I've not been around for a while, I've had a lot of family issues going on, but I'm back, & I won't be leaving you all again!!

Secondly, those who have been reading my blogs will remember me writing before about Galaxy Quick Reads coming out, well, if you, like me, enjoyed them first time around, you'll be glad to hear, they're BACK!!!!

So, like last time, I grabbed myself a couple of their bargain £1 books & a bar of Galaxy, obviously, and settled down for a read!

As before, these little books are great for those mummies like me who are always on the go & can hardly take 5 minutes to themselves!  Grab your quick read, get a few pages done & off you go!

So first book I grabbed.......

A Baby At The Beach Cafe - by Lucy Diamond

This book follows Evie in her story at the beach cafe! What a great mini book. I have read the beach cafe so knew the characters, but equally you don't need to know them to enjoy this book. It's stands alone in its own fabulousness. I love Evie, I love the beach cafe, I want to be her & I want more more more!! Easy to pick up here & there, & you won't want to put it down!  You'll be screaming from behind the toilet door "sorry kiddies, mummy will be 5 more minutes!"

Secondly ......

The Double Clue & Other Hercule Poirot Stories - by Agatha Christie

So, I don't normally 'do' crime type stories, but the fact that this was mini tempted me. I can't stand a dragged out story, so can't 'do' a 500 page book,......... Just tell me who the flippin murderer was!!!!!!

But this was fab! The stories were short, punchy, hooked me & gave me all the answers in only 1 trip to the loo! (I'm a mother, this is how I judge my time!).  I loved it, maybe even more than the above book which is my normal type of read! Give me more Agatha, I want more mini stories.....please!!!

Ok, so the fact I spent most of my reading time while on the loo, meant I didn't enjoy my bar of Galaxy while reading them....that would be far too unhygienic! ....... I did enjoy it while popping out the kitchen for a second & sticking my head in the fridge while out of sight & eating a cube or 2!!!! Yum!!

So mummies, or non mummies, whoever you are, enjoy a quick read, try something you wouldn't normally, you never know what might take a fancy, & for only £1 each, they're definitely worth a try!!!
