Hidden by Catherine McKenzie My rating: 3 of 5 stars I found this book quite frustrating to read as the narrative bounced from character to character and across time zones, although the concept was intriguing enough to keep me reading. I still felt there were questions unresolved at the end…

Although I already have PLENTY of books waiting to be read on my Kindle (and my physical bookshelves), I wasn't feeling too well over Christmas, and an email came from Amazon offering The Gender Game and The Last Girl for 99p each - so I downloaded them ... sold as 'if you…

If you haven't seen Bridget Jones's Baby in the cinema, and you're looking for some light-hearted entertainment - I recommend it! Four of us sat in a row - we'd all seen the previous films - and we proper LOL'd much of the way through - unlike many 'third films',…

I've kept a handful of my classic books from childhood, and the Anne of Green Gables series is one I have read for a while, so whilst on leave I started re-reading them all, and last week finished the final one. Anne of Green Gables Anne of Avonlea Anne of…

If you've never read Georgette Heyer, can I just say that you may be missing out! Often confused with Mills & Boon, Heyer wrote these 'regency romances' 1920s onwards, the history in them is deeply researched, and the novels chuckle along without loads of random salaciousness that every M&B seems…

Well, what does one say about the Harry Potter book series, except that I think I started when book 4 or 5 was out, as I was looking for something rewarding to read after my PhD upgrade viva ... since then I have re-read them several times, and at the…
