Amazingly, this is the first Sherlock Holmes story I have read – I don’t know how I have gone through life without reading one of these books but somehow I have. I have a whole volume now though, so have plenty to work my way through and enjoy.
This particular story revolves around […]

I enjoyed this book. It feels like just a gentle read and quite charming on the surface, but it has quite sinister undertones. It is very cleverly written.
The story is told from the viewpoint of two young boys through their games of make-believe and pretend, one such game being tracking a […]

I found this a bit of a strange book from Bryson as I expected a funny book full of amusing stories, and this is more of a text book. But it is really, really good. I loved it. The book is all about the history, formation, meanings, and apparent inconsistencies (charmingly) of […]

I picked up this book for a pound in a second hand bookshop purely as the title sounded so intriguing – there is just something about the thought of reading a diary, something almost forbidden and guilt inducing. Then I read the back and realised the inn in question was fairly local to me […]

Review supplied by Ekta
In today’s difficult times when mother nature is warming up, human relations are faltering and freedom is being misused, “Temple of Destiny” is a welcome reading. It takes us into a world of self-observation and self-realisation. The simple positive medium of connectivity with nature touches the soul. A must treasure.

This is a children’s book so is not one I would normally read, and I therefore find it difficult to judge whether it was good or not as I’m obviously not the target reader, and the subject matter (spies) isn’t really one that interests me greatly. But having said that, I did find […]

I do absolutely adore Penny Vincenzi books, but, although I enjoyed this, I felt it wasn’t one of my favourites and I probably wouldn’t read it again and again as I do her others. Normally one of the main things I like about Vincenzi’s books are the details of her characters; you end up […]
