Read this last week and after ages found a different style of writing. It’s my first Ken Follett book and I was pleasantly surprised.

And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.
The Wronged
A few days back I was thinking of the BAD things I’ve done in life, to people I’ve really cared for. You know what I’m talking about. Those thoughtless actions that you take out of selfishness or in some weird concept of righteousness. When I think about them I feel so guilty about it that I wonder how I ever…
Lovers and Players by Jackie Collins
A typical Jackie Collins’ book. If you’ve read one, you pretty much know what to expect in the next. That is a relief for some and a downer for others. In my case, I knew just want I felt like reading when I picked this one up. Except you still cannot guess when the next expected twist is about to…
