Book Review: "BODY SWAP: Catastrophe!!!" by Katrina Kahler

Kindle:

Paperback:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

If you've read any of my other recent book reviews, you'll already know that every book starts off with the full boat-load of 5 stars and that I'm always hopeful that they will all still be stuck firmly in place by the time I close the back cover.  You'll also know that I'm not afraid to return a docked star if there's a magic little sentence that the author has put in.

Let's get going shall we?

Oooh!  I like the front cover... it's kinda giving me the feeling that it'll be like older comic book humour?  Let's see if that's the reality  :-)

Pretty much straight into the action and I've even raised a slight smile a few times, which is pretty much unheard of for me.  I'm enjoying this book so far and I hope it continues like that!

Oh yes, this is definitely a good book.  The author has well and truly got into the head of her character and the slight smiles are still appearing occasionally, which is incredible considering I'm only 36% of the way through the book.  I doubt I'll finish it before bedtime, but that's OK, I already feel lighter so I'll hopefully feel easier about going to sleep tonight and I'll stick my nose straight back into it when I wake up tomorrow.

What.  An.  Incredible.  Book.  I managed to get it finished in one sitting after all, but I can't wait to read the others now!  Definitely a must-read!

Caffè Nero launches major book awards

Contrary to the norm...

...I've reduced rather than increased the costs of my KDP book.

Amazon's prices are going up, so the majority of KDP book prices will increase too.  I've decided to go against the tide and decrease rather than increase the cover price of my book.

If you wanna have a read of the book, you can click on the most appropriate image below, but it might take a few days to reflect the new price so keep checking back!

Kindle (£5 when it updates):

Paperback (£10 when it updates):

Ooooh!

I've just devoured the recording of last nights UV24 and part of my submission was read out and I had some very valuable feedback.  I've got the age range right but the title needs to work sooooo much harder and I'm gonna use the voice thing in Word to read it out to me so that I can pick up things that I might've missed.  I knew what I wanted to get across and where I wanted the emphasis to be etc, but I've moved up to the next level in UV submissions now so will UV26 mean that I'll be in the anthology then UV28 be the year I finally bag myself an agent and publisher?!

It's been a loooong time...

...but I'm trying desperately to get into my new normal.

There won't be any posts tomorrow morning, and prolly not in the afternoon either, but hopefully there will be on Saturday, assuming I can find anything to post about of course lol

I don't suppose anyone has any book recommendations for quick, uplifting reads, ideally on Kindle Unlimited or NetGalley, that I can bury my nose in do they?  It's been too long since I read a children's book and reading and reviewing them as well as hopefully re-starting the news is gonna be my gentle re-introduction to the world of children's literature.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas and recommendations!

I'm learning sooo much!

I'm a new-ish Egg and I've been doing the 5 day kick-starter since Monday.  I've just learnt sooo much about what is needed for the tension point in my newest OMG novel (that was supposed to be my JanNo novel but wasn't, for an absolutely heart-breaking personal reason) that I'd never even thought of before.  I thought I'd planned out the next guaranteed best-seller but today's task has shown me that I've got a lot of research and thinking and planning to do before I even start the document, let alone write it!
