Yes this one is terribly late, due to our family holiday in the Scottish Highlands, and my kids going back to school, so I am a bit behind, but I haven’t stopped reading, I read 8 last month, this month it was a bit less as it was the school holidays, so we were out …
I wasn’t sure if I would enjoy this book, though I find mythology interesting, I tried reading Stephen Fry’s Mythos and didn’t finish it. Perhaps because Mythos was a bit heavier being a non-fiction book, whereas Circe is fiction. Though the story of Circe is told with non-fictional elements, the story created around what is …
I wasn’t going to write this review, because once again I am awed by famous books, famous novellists (The King!) and famous movies, which this book is all of those. But then I sat next to my colleague at lunch talking about the book, and she had never heard of it – the book or …
What a beautiful tale this is; I don’t know if it’s the lulling sound of the narration as she speaks of the Elephants but I feel like I am gently being rocked back and forth in the warm and safe arms of my mother as she reads me this story. I love how Picoult has …
I wasn’t going to review this seminal book, I thought, who cares what I have to say, I won’t be saying anything new and I probably don’t really understand all the intricacies and all the symbolism that makes it amazing – but you know what, I told myself, this is my blog and I’m writing …
So exciting, this is my first end of the month round up! I feel good about this month; I think I’ve read a bit more than I usually do, and I have definitely bought more books than I should have – a few charity shop hauls! I’ve read 8 books this month. I am also …
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 …
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 …
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. …
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 …
