The fab reviews for Sophie’s Turn just keep on coming this week! FOUR stars from Jonita Fex aka The Book Chick!

Posted on September 7, 2011 | Leave a comment

Jonita Fex at the Book Chick just loves chick lit, and especially all things British.  So when I contacted her for a review, I felt a little bit nervous.  Would Sophie’s Turn live up to Jonita’s very high expectations….?

Well, I think it did! Jonita gave Sophie’s Turn four out of five stars and concludes:   I loved the British charm that was evident on every page, as well as the plot that kept me reading well past my bedtime. This is a must-read that does the chick lit genre proud.

To read the full review, please visit Jonita’s blog at http://book-chic.blogspot.com/2011/09/review-giveaway-sophies-turn-by-nikki.html

A great big thank you to Jonita for taking the time to read Sophie’s Turn… and for writing the review on one of the busiest days of the school year, and overcoming all sorts of technical hitches to post it.  You are a rock star, Jonita! 🙂

Reabookreview reviews and recommends Sophie’s Turn with four stars!

Posted on August 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Rea Sinfield from Reabookreviews has taken the time to read and review my debut novel, Sophie’s Turn… and she enjoyed herself!  Rea concludes that she would definitely recommend reading my book: She says, “I feel as though Nicky has a style of writing which makes it easy to read and also using more realistic scenarios which makes the books easier to relate to and enjoy. I found there were also some lovely humorous touches in this novel which were not predictable.”  Check out the full review at http://reabookreview.blogspot.com/2011/08/sophies-turn-by-nicky-wells.html?showComment=1314643761467#c9019176393986634841.

Rea also had a slightly spooky experience with reading Sophie’s Turn as one of the events that happen to Sophie and Tim also happened to her a while back… pretty much, actually, as I was writing the book: and **that** spooked me!  If anyone else out there has any novel-reality-transference experiences relating to Sophie’s Turn, please do get in touch!

Thanks to Rea for taking the time to read and review Sophie’s Turn.  Rea awarded Sophie’s Turn four stars on www.goodreads.com.

Posted on August 29, 2011 | Leave a comment

Hello and good morning on this beautiful bank holiday morning.  Just to let you know that the virtual book tour for Sophie’s Turn continues apace.  This week I am expecting up to FOUR reviews, possibly… one of which is already out and live at Lou Graham’s blog at www.lougrahamiiblog.wordpress.com/ !  I am really encouraged, honoured and thrilled that all the reviews so far have been so positive.  It seems Sophie’s Turn is striking a few chords out there… (bad pun alert! Chords–rock music… and all that!) and I am loving it.  Thank you to all who have read my masterpiece and taken the time to post a review.  Your views really matter!

Also watch out for the interview on Bookworm Ink at http://www.bookwormink.co.uk/ … I’ll post and tweet for each event as usual.  Very exciting week ahead, I think!  Find the updated schedule here…Virtual Book Tour for Sophies Turn (updated 29 August) You might notice that things have got so busy, I’ve burst the single page framework… and had to roll over onto a second page to give all events due credit.  Don’t miss the second page!!! xx
