Here’s the list of questions I’ve been asking myself over the weekend:
Is it true nothing can grow under a holly tree?
Do polar bears roar?
Do reindeer trot?
What do trolls smell like?
When did the Maori first arrive in Aotearoa?
How many pomegranate seeds did Persephone eat?
Do Venezuelans wear ponchos?
What colour are an ibis’s legs?
Do German children put spiders on their Christmas trees?
What was Ana...

| This is the best book I’ve read so far by my new favourite author. It’s set on a small island off Ireland (I think) where the waterhorses come ashore, and the locals both fear and admire them. So when they're not protecting themselves and their lives...more | |

| This crime novel does exactly what the best crime novels do: it uses the familiar shape of a murder, and the quest for the who and the why of that murder, to give us a glimpse into another world. In The Gods of Gotham, that world is early New York: t...more | |

So I've just added a new book to the list of Books by Lari Don for the first time (my new picture book - Orange Juice Peas) which was quite a thrill! But I've also failed to add a picture of the rather lovely cover, which was a bit of a disappointment. Anyone got any suggestions of how to do that?

I'm sure if this box is for me to comment on my own page, but it seems like a convenient place to say: I realise that I'm giving either 4 or 5 stars to every book I review. This is NOT because I am incapable of telling a bad book from a good one, nor because I am amazingly expert at picking only excellent books to read, nor even because as an author, I don't want to be rude about other authors. It's because I'm not bothering to put up books on Goodreads that I wouldn't happily recommend to my best friend! So, if it's here and I've given it 4 or 5 stars, it's because I loved it. You can't see the pile of books by my bed which I'm not telling you about!
