Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

I can't believe I've never read the Mary Poppins books before! I had forgotten the stories came from books, to be honest, I just always think of the wonderful Julie Andrews film and the theatre production I was lucky enough to see on holiday in New York several years ago. I saw this book in a charity shop though, so felt I had to read it. I do wonder though if I'll just picture the scenes and actors from the film, rather than my mind creating pictures of these based solely from the book, so I do kind of wish I could read this with fresh eyes, having never seen the film. Grab your copy and let’s read it together! Read the full review
