The Words with JAM Challenge
We're big fans of the prize and set ourselves the challenge of reading and reviewing them all before the prize announcement on June 7.
Why not join us?
We'll be reading and reviewing the six books for Bookmuse and we'd love to hear your thoughts.
And the night before the winner is announced, we'll be joining Triskele Books for a Twitter chat on these novels, what we loved, what we didn't and our bets on the favourite.

Happy Reading!
Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
