I’m going to try something new. As some of you will know I’ve been struggling to write, particularly since Covid-19 changed our lives, and in fact I’ve stopped, completely, at least on my fiction. This seems a shame considering I have a couple of books about 75% written. They are only at first draft stage […]
I chose to read this novel as a proud member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and received a copy from the author. This does not affect my review in any way. I enjoy stories told in the first person, I like getting right inside a character, being privy to all their thoughts and emotions […]
It’s been a weird time, these last twelve weeks or so. We’re still in lockdown, apparently, but the lid is gradually being lifted on some of the restrictions and the more concerned among the population wait, somewhat apprehensively, hoping there will be no repercussions. In this post I am in no way making light of […]
I have been a fan of Judith Barrow’s work for a long time so bought, The Memory, her new release the moment it was available. I also chose it as the book of the month for my reading group because by doing so it would ensure I read it in a timely fashion. I […]
I read the last one of this series, UK2, nearly a year ago so I was pleased to get back to it and even more pleased to find that Tyler had put in a helpful The Story So Far section to scan through just to refresh who was who before I got going. After the […]
I chose to read this book as a member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team and received a copy from the author. This does not alter my review in any way. Sammy Rafferty is past his prime. Having gained notoriety for violence within football where his fearsome reputation came in handy as a […]
I chose to read Head on Backwards, Chest full of Sand as a member of Rosie Amber’s Book Review Team. I received a copy of the book from the author but this does not affect my review. Livvy (definitely not Libby!) is a young woman who goes to stay with her aunt, Donna, in […]
I’ve taken the longest time in getting back to this series through no reason other than lack of time. Anyway, I made it at last and what a treat. I was a little concerned as to how I would remember who all the characters were, as there are quite a few, but there is […]
It is not often that I am on the edge of my seat when reading but I certainly was with this short story. A heavily pregnant woman, hiking alone. What could possibly go wrong… Felfe writes very well and you are swiftly hooked into this story as Jen sets off on her favourite trail, […]
I hope this post finds you well and coping okay if you are in lockdown, which I guess is most of us. It’s a weird old world at the moment, a tough time for many and we’re all trying to do what we can to support others. Reading is a wonderful way to escape from […]
