Rachel Reviews: Everyday is Like Sunday by John Doe
The fact that Hitler's Nazi Germany looted the art collections of those they subdued is no new tale: to the "winners", the spoils and all that. This story takes that idea and tells of a girl, Lily Braun, her need for revenge and her orchestrating the means to obtain that vengeance through the heist of a piece of art, stolen from her family in circumstances most violent.

Rachel Reviews: The List of My Desires by Grégoire Delacourt
My Kindle died and I needed a short paperback to read. This book fitted the bill, having fallen behind the bookcase and been discovered during some long needed Spring cleaning. Dusted off, I started reading and found a little piece of treasure.

Rachel Reviews: Fiona's Fury by Roxy Blue
Ah, we all love a good love story, don't we? And when it's one where a feisty female who seems to be forever destined to have a life revolving around work, her ex-husband and her best friend suddenly is presented with the chance of romance, as a reader, you can't help but hope that it all works out for her.

A Million Tiny Diamonds. Runner-Up in The Metamorphosis of the Mind Challenge.
There are always moments that define you as a person. We have been conditioned to never admit to weakness because, in the shame of bad judgement, the metaphorical fingernails of others can get a hold on you from the chink you've exposed by sharing your confession. You can then be prised open, your vulnerability there for all to see, to be poked and prodded mercilessly by a metaphorical stick held and being controlled by the will of another. And what would be the result of that poking? It would let the shame out, the dampener and the twister of all emotions which transforms people into ogres, which we try and subdue, putting it into the darkest corners of ourselves.
