BOOKS PLAYLIST If you are a regular visitor to TheJournalix.com you will know we specialise in movies, music, video games and… books! So how about a books playlist?

New York City. Like millions of other people, I was totally enchanted by the place from the moment my feet first walked upon it’s historic streets. I just can’t bear to be away from the place that has become my second home… LOVE AFFAIR My love affair with the city Continue reading WHAT IS IT ABOUT NEW YORK CITY? BY NATALIE-EVE WILLIAMS
