The lovely John Sennett got in touch with me last month about his campaign #iblogbecause, which is designed to raise a bit of positivity and love in the blogging community. He asked me to write a post about the reasons why I blog, and post to the hashtag. You can find John on Twitter @JohnRdToVol, …

The Wonderful Wise Owl Tea Review
There's nothing quite like the afternoon quiet time, when you can reward yourself for the mornings work with a delicious cup of herbal tea, or curling up with a book and a pot of fragrant brew while the rain beats on your window pane. I'm a huge tea fan, and like to try new varieties, …
This Weeks Mood and The Lost Art Of Letter Writing
Ever since I was a little girl I've loved when the post came in. Back home, I used to run to the gate when the postman or postwoman came past with her red bag. I was a lucky kid because my Dad, who lived about 12 hours away, would pretty regularly send my brother and …

Beauty Round Up: A Trio of Pampering Treats (and Some Great Discounts too)!
As the first post since adjusting this blogs trajectory, I wanted to introduce some products that I was sent to trial and review. I get given product trials every now and then, which I usually post on Facebook and Instagram, but I thought since I'm branching out, these three could make a good first post …

Some changes to CravenWild…
Hi guys, I started this blog as a place to put all my posts about books that were cluttering up my blog about movies, which is kind of my main site. You can check it out here at Wildfire Movies, if you're curious. I post loads of book reviews, but I also want to branch out …
Web Of Dreams – Virginia Andrews
Browsing the shelves of the local second hand stores, I came across loads of paperback copies of V C Andrews books. I read Flowers In The Attic as a teen, and thought it might be fun (if reading VC Andrews can be called fun) to dip into one or two of her books. Part of …
Peter & Max: A Fables Novel – Bill Willingham
Some of you might know of the Fables from the comic books, personally I came across them from the Tell Tale Games adaptation The Wolf Among Us. This novel with illustrations comes from the same world. In this arena, the characters from popular rhymes and fairy stories are characters that have fled their own world, …

The Heretic’s Daughter – Kathleen Kent
A family story retold by the descendent of one of the victims of the Salem Witch trials, this follows the story of the Carrier family, capturing the social and political milieu which fostered the conditions for witch hunting mania. The language is passionate and evocative, told through the eyes of the ten year old daughter …
Moab Is My Washpot – Stephen Fry
Stephen Fry has a terribly British way of writing, a bit like Bill Bryson, so fans of his TV work with Hugh Laurie or as host on QI know what to expect. His humour is dry, self deprecating, and apologetic for his privileged background. In this book, he writes the memoirs of his early years, until …
Lud-In-The-Mist – Hope Mirrlees
I’d actually never heard of this one before, and came across it randomly from a more hard-core fantasy fan than me. It’s a novel from the 1920’s by a contemporary of Virginia Woolf who amusingly referred to the author as “prickly and perverse…rather conspicuously well dressed” and whom Neil Gaiman champions as a lost author …
