Nuns with Bad Habits

-

Today's review is a book that details what we think shouldn't happen in a convent. From the outside nuns and priests (well the occassional priest ) are seen as strict catholics, holy men of god, but as this book and remember it is a work of fiction, the nuns and priests in this novel are anything but holy behind closed doors.

Today reader's I bring you the first book in the Sister Mary Olga Fortitude series - "The Misadventures of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude" by Davis Aujourd'Hui-2009

When you think of nuns and priests, what is it that jumps to your mind? Spiritual, holy, no sinning done whatsoever. What would you think if you found out the background and what nuns and priests got up to behind closed doors? Are you ready to take a spiritual laughter journey and travel into the lives of those at Have a Heart convent, Wisconsin whilst looking through not rose-coloured glasses but through the eyes of Sister Mary Olga Fortitude. If so, then you are definitely in for a bumpy, chaotic and mischievous ride as each day Sister Mary Olga Fortitude reveals the going-ons in Have a Heart- the catholic equivalent of Gossip Girl from Constance and St Judes. We have the Reverend Mother whose former life involved the art of prostitution; the convent's chef is your ideal candidate for the role of Brokeback Mountain - Gay and a Cowboy, either that or better to join the Village People. Of course, what's a community without a nosy-parker , Priscilla Bunhead is the one who likes to open closet doors and who can forget our guide Sister Mary Olga Fortitude who has a likening for all Spirits not just the holy spirit and puffing away the kind that doesn't come from a lack of excercise.
For a fun , non-stop laugh at the Catholic convent who shows us that really life isn't to be taken seriously, look no further.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Penny Reid

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
