Read whatever, whenever, however.
We've been doing our spring cleaning a little early here, despite apparently being in the depths of winter! Stuff is everywhere, including books. That doesn't stop me adding to the pile though – If I Can't Have You by Charlotte Levin (available 14th July) arrived from Pan Macmillan. Constance develops an infatuation with a colleague,...

I've been doing a lot of moving of books around the house due to painting and wow, they can be a great workout. I've rediscovered a lot of fantastic ones to read, but which one first? I received one book in the mail and bought two as this windy picture shows: Stars Over the Southern... Continue Reading →
It's cold. It's winter finally! Hence a little more reading got done – no way am I moving once I'm warm! (And why the photo was taken very quickly).

Another Monday rolls around…some of our quarantine restrictions are reduced today, but I think I'll let the rush slow down before I venture out. I had two books arrive in the mail (there is a special parcel postie in addition to regular parcel post at the moment) and two that I bought. The Museum of... Continue Reading →
Another week of rain and now, some sunshine. I ventured out to the local bookshop for a book browse – the shelves are nearly bare, which is both good and bad (good because people are reading, bad because I want to read Emily St John Mandel's backlist and there are no copies available – not...
