Blog Tour Review - Black Crow Best New Horror

 Blog Tour Review - Black Crow Best New Horror There's always been something about the horror story that I've felt really suits the short story format. I think it's because there's no slow build up and no comforting resolution, as a reader you're just dropped straight into the scary situation and you're often left without answers. The ghosts aren't exorcised, the demons aren't revealed to simply be the grounds keeper in a rubber mask, and the horror is left lingering in your mind. I grew up reading horror short story collections by Stephen King, Edgar Allen Poe and HP Lovecraft but it's been a while since I read any new horror collections so I was very excited to be asked to read and review one of the short stories in the Black Crow Best New Horror Anthology. For anyone unfamiliar with Black Crow, they've been doing book marketing and PR for ages now and are responsible for arranging many of the blog tours I've been doing over the last few ye...

July Doughnut Review (part one?)

 July Doughnut Review (part one?)

After excitedly browsing the new menu online, 🐰 and I headed down to Proven Goods in Hoult's Yard last Friday hoping to try the Hazelnut 'Bueno' glaze doughnut.



We got there fairly early but there was a reasonable queue. As we joined it, a new tray of the hazelnut Buenos glaze doughnuts was put in the window, but it was clearly a popular choice and they began disappearing immediately. We were starting to make back up choices just in case, as doughnut after doughnut disappeared before our eyes! Luckily, by the time we got to the counter there were just two left, and they were ours!

First thing, they've introduced new doughnut trays that are a fantastic addition. The boxes are grand if you're getting a lot of doughnuts but putting one of these in a paper bag would have ruined it. The trays work perfectly.

The Hazelnut 'Bueno' Glaze is definitely the messiest doughnut I've had from Proven Goods. The glaze is soft and sticky and ended up across a lot of my face.


It tasted great though, with the dark chocolate cutting through the sweetness of the white chocolate fairly effectively, though it was still incredibly sweet. The hazelnuts added a nice flavour, but after last month's strongly textural treats, there was a disappointing lack of crunch to them. The doughnut was delightfully soft but the nuts just didn't add enough of a contrast to place this one in my top list.

I gave it 4/5, while 🐰 gave it 3.5/5

    I went through a very painful breakup with my boyfriend. We stopped talking, and he even blocked me on all social media. I was heartbroken and didn’t know what to do, so I started searching online for help. That’s when I came across several testimonies about Dr. Dawn and how he had helped people reunite broken relationships and marriages, as well as helped women conceive through his guidance.
    At first, I was unsure, but I decided to reach out to him. When we spoke, he told me things about myself and my relationship that were surprisingly accurate. He then guided me on what I should do.
    To my surprise, within 48 hours, my boyfriend—who had completely cut me off—started calling me and sending me many messages, apologizing and asking for forgiveness. I forgave him, and we got back together.
    Not only that, but with his support and guidance, we are now blessed with two beautiful children.
    I am truly grateful for everything, and I strongly recommend Dr. Dawn to anyone going through relationship, marriage, or fertility challenges.

    So Amazing!!! I saw a comment about Dr. Kham remedies medication concerning herpes sometime ago and you were right, I tried it and it worked like magic for me. It was like hell living with herpes all this years until now and I would’ve come with my testimony before now but I have to wait for a couple of months to see if it will regrow again but there’s still no sign of herpes, I also went to the hospital again for test and still i was tested negative. All thanks to Dr. Kham Herbal Remedies. I lost all hope in life before I met Dr Kham Herbal Remedies and am so Grateful to come across a post that recommends you sir. Dr. Kham herbal remedies also helped my Aunty to get rid of her hepatitis B illness permanently. Email him now via dr.khamcaregiver@gmail.com or visit his Website; https://linktr.ee/doc_kham
