Read whatever, whenever, however.
In brief: Short bits about nearly every part and brand related to cars. Potentially factual. The good: It was funny and I learned things! The not-so-good: More involvement from Mr Clarkson, Hammond and May please. Why I chose it: Love The Grand Tour even though my internet is so slow I can only watch one... Continue Reading →
This Monday shows what a great week the previous one was! I had some extra time to read, plus I received some fabulous February releases. 2019 is shaping up to be a good year for books. The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth (available 29th January) is about Lucy and her mother-in-law Diana. They've never really got along... Continue Reading →
In brief: Plays written by the greatest man who ever played a character called Nobby Doldrums, Shaun Micallef. The good: Pure Micallef genius – surreal and satirical. The not-so-good: Somebody didn't know the difference between 'discreet' and 'discrete' a few times (unless that joke went over my head) Why I chose it: Because Shaun Micallef... Continue Reading →

Why I chose it: Really enjoyed Z,... Continue Reading →

It's about Chelsea, who returns to... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I published my list of my most memorable reads from 2018. In the name of more great reads, I'm following the lead of Australian radio station Triple J. They broadcast their Hottest 100, followed by 101-200 the following day. I'm not sure what to call this list, other than books you should check out!... Continue Reading →
I simply can't do a best of year list until I know that I'm not going to finish any more books. So even though it may be the start of 2019, here are the books that left a lasting impression on me. I started with 26 books (out of a possible 81) and painstakingly took... Continue Reading →
Last day and mailbox for this year! I hope you had a good bookish 2018 and are looking forward to what 2019 brings. (So many of the releases sound fantastic). Here are the books I received for Christmas (all chosen by me): XX by Angela Chadwick is fiction, exploring the what if it were possible... Continue Reading →
