The Top Ten Tuesday linky, hosted by Artsy Reader Girl is: What books would I want with me whilst stranded on a desert island. At first I thought it would be a list of my most favourite books, which will also feature, but then I thought, if I was stranded on a desert island, some …
Duty of Care: One NHS doctor’s story of the Covid-19 crisis by Dominic Pimenta. Is it too early and too raw to be reading a book about Covid-19 already? Perhaps. However, Dominic Pimenta has not written this book to discuss in glaring detail the horrific nature of how this virus can, in some people, ravage …
Or would have, if I had the time. I don’t think I have read a book in one sitting since I was a kid, I simply do not have that kind of free time anymore. However, there are books that I have inhaled – read very fast, because they were so good I couldn’t put …
I am a huge Bill Bryson fan, I’ve been reading his books for about 20 years now, so I thought I would offer up some inspiration for those of you who have not had the pleasure of reading one of his books (where have you been?), or want to know which book to read next. …
Why should I read Still Alice? It’s probably too depressing for me or maybe you’re thinking I’ve already seen the movie. Well I am challenging you on both counts. Firstly, it is not a sad or depressing book, it is sad at the end but not throughout, I actually found it very enjoyable to read. …

I’m joining the Top Ten Linky with Artsy Reader Girl this week to give 10 reasons why I love to read. So here goes… Relaxation – there is nothing more relaxing than sitting by an open fire reading an unputdownable book. I feel like all my worries and cares are melting away as I am …
Since I am new to the book blogging game, I thought I would talk about some of my favourite authors. Starting with the one I last read as it is fresh in my mind. As with all of my favourite authors (Marian Keyes, Bill Bryson, Kristin Hannah etc) I don’t actually love everything they have …
I’m joining in the Top Ten Tuesday linky about the 10 (or 12 in my case) books on my to be read (TBR) list for this summer. It is a great opportunity to look at the bookshelf and assess what’s been there too long, and what I am eager to read this summer. On my …
I thought I was the only one fascinated by farming; but now that Jeremy Clarkson is in on the game (Clarkson’s Farm: so funny by the way) it seems that there really are other people reading and watching these things. I first came across Amanda Owen’s book series “The Yorkshire Sheppherdess” after I read “The …
