Hello Awesome followers. It has been a while since we last spoke to you and that’s because our lives have become even crazier.
New Books to read by some fantastic Authors and although we are aware of many Authors names, some we have not had a chance to read yet. I bet you can all relate because every blogger or avid reader has a to be read (TBR) shelf that could keep us all going for next twenty years, LOL!
Isa- Yes, mine is becoming bigger instead of smaller. I read one and add another two, LOL!!
Jo- Yeah, and you are always saying, ‘OMG!! Jo you need to read this book and usually it is a trilogy or series, like I have the time, hehe!!
Isa- Pfft, really? I am positive it is you that says them exact words to me on a daily basis.
Jo- Okay, maybe we should say 50/50. Let’s not have a domestic on our column peaches.
Isa- I seriously worry about us, we sound more and more like a couple everyday, HAHA!!
Jo- LMAO, Love is love.
Although me and Isa like a lot of the same Genres, we don’t necessarily read the same books. I read a lot more paranormal than Isa. Shifters are my weakness and M/M shifters, God, what can I say, they make for a fabulous read. Variety is the spice of life, as they say and Isa likes a lot of spice, Romantic Erotica, M/M Erotica, BDSM Erotica, see the pattern people. Our Isa may seem like the quiet, shy type but she sure does love her SPICE!!
In this month’s column we decided to invite bloggers to sign up and have their blog shared on our column. It’s not only Authors we support but our fellow bloggers. We know how hard these people work behind the scenes, no matter how big the blog, all blogs/pages work constantly to bring you up to date information and keep you coming back for more.
A lot of Authors are very appreciative of the support from bloggers and express this by stopping by their blog pages to thank them for the share or taking part in a new release, tour, etc. We also understand this isn’t always possible when deadlines for the next book are approaching but many have help from either a PA, a fellow blogger or maybe a few members of a street team to drop by. Either way showing appreciation to a blogger goes a long way and is not taken lightly, it’s has immense value, proving to the blogger they have worth in what they are doing.
The following blogs have signed up and welcome you over to their pages. Authors and readers check out what Genre they promote, is this the blog for you? If so why not start following their pages. Place a like and show some love. You know we are big at spreading the love, so join us, make someone smile today.

Bloggers stick together

Are book groups effective?
We are back. Happy New Year everyone. We hope you are all having an epic start to 2016. Today we are going to be sharing our knowledge of book groups on Facebook. How they work and the most effective way for all your posts to be seen. Let's start with the privacy settings of a group. Secret Group: Nobody can see this group, it won't come up when doing a search, it can not be seen at all unless you are a member of this specific Group, this means any posts made in this group can only be seen and liked or commented on by members in that group. Most secret groups are used for street teams or review teams maybe a fan group. If you are in a Secret Group in order to promote books just remember that only […]
Freedom of speech
Dear Divine. I thought this would be a good place to get a few things off my chest and I hope that you do indeed publish on behalf of one of your fans. I think people's views may vary on what I have to say and that's okay but this is my story so let me begin. LGBT community now this title to me separates everyone in that category from the rest of the world. I believe that we are all the same, we have a heart that beats, most of us have all our senses and are able to walk etc... So why divide us up? It's like black and white, yes we have different colour skin but are we not all human beings? chinese, american, english does it matter? I will tell you why this frustrates me so […]

Dear Jo: My Story to Tell Intro
Do you have a story to share? Why not share it with Divine Magazine. You may remain anonymous, the choice is yours. We would like to share all your stories. Happy or sad, celebrating or commiserating. Feel free to contact us via email at [email protected] Hope This has been a difficult post to write. It was prompted by someone saying to me the other day ‘Oh, I blame my mother for what I am today. She was cold and hurtful and never really cared about me. So I grew up to be the person I am today.’ I call bullshit. Yes, of course, past events contribute to who you become and I’m not talking about the extreme ones causing grief, and fear and true emotional angst. No one can understand what the trauma of being raped, sexually abused, beaten, suffered another form of […]

The cabin in the woods…and other things
My family and I decided we deserved a weekend away all together, including the pooch. I found this amazing place in Holt, in Norfolk, which looked tailor made for us. No, that's not two bald-headed coots sitting on the deck, having flown in from parts unknown - that's my husband Gary and son Jason LOL. My daughter Ashley was with us too, and of course, Blu, the family pet. The cabin was beautiful, tucked away in the Weybourne Forest and was everything you'd imagine it to be. We did some walking, some sightseeing, played Trivial Pursuit (I won all the games heh heh, go me) and it was relaxing and invigorating at the same time. We took some time to visit old friends of ours who'd opened a gin distillery in Wymondham, not too far away from where stayed. Shaun and […]
Fifty Shades of Dave
Written and produced in Merseyside, UK, the pilot sad-com series ‘Fifty Shades of Dave’ tackles important male mental health issues. Set over just one week, the story follows protagonists Rosie (Claudia Grier) and Neil (Curtis Ledsham) hosts of the popular local Radio show ‘The Greenhouse’. All’s well it seems until the show receives a tweet one evening from a man who needs their help. A man who says he isn’t coping. A man named ‘Dave’. Things go from bad to worse for this once celebrated duo as they decide to help ‘Dave’ live on air with disastrous consequences. Writer and producer David Lee who lives in New Ferry describes the series as a ‘rollercoaster of self-discovery’ and says the series holds up a mirror to mental health issues, especially for the men in our local communities. ‘We all have a responsibility […]
8 Fun Ways to Start Prepping for Pride Month
The first of June kicks off pride month — and members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies anxiously await coming events. Whether attending a parade or doing something else to commemorate the riot at the Stonewall Inn in New York's Greenwich Village, prepping for Pride is fun. But what can members of the LGBTQ+ community and their allies do to get ready for the big day? Here are some suggestions for how to prep for Pride sure to knock your socks off! 1. Find an Event It's hard to celebrate Pride without knowing when things go down. Search online for a downloadable event calendar to find out what will happen and when. Not everyone enjoys a flamboyant parade, but they may still wish to celebrate history. 2. Volunteer Like any major party, someone needs to volunteer to set things […]
How We Can Learn to Care for LGBTQ Seniors Better
Members of the LGBTQ community face difficulties those identifying as cis and hetero seldom consider. Unfortunately, their struggles often increase as they grow older. Even those who are upfront and outspoken about their identity in their youth sometimes find themselves retreating into the closet in their later years for various reasons. And few things feel more lonely than disguising the authentic self. In addition to remaining social stigmas, aging members of the LGBTQ community face greater difficulty in finding appropriate long-term care. A lifetime of employment discrimination leaves many community members without a nest egg sufficient to carry them through their golden years. Aging LGBTQ individuals may find establishing new friendships more difficult, too, as they fear others' reactions when they reveal their sexuality. When it comes to helping elderly LGBTQ individuals, we as a society must do better. Issues […]
10 Social Justice Celebrations to Mark on Your Calendar for 2019
When many lose hope about the division in our nation, events honoring human rights serve as a light in the darkness. Society needs to remember the joyous feeling of doing something for a good cause to help others. At a time when altruism seems hard to find and simple acts of human kindness get overshadowed by depressing news, it's important to celebrate events honoring the representation of human nature's better side. 1. April 2: World Autism Awareness Day Wear blue proudly on this day to support those who have autism, as well as their families. Autism impacts a child's ability to have social interactions normally and sometimes causes tics, or repetitive behaviors. Those wishing to support the cause can participate in walks to raise awareness. 2. April 22: Earth Day Earth Day celebrates the historic day in 1970 when protesters […]
