About this author


Lots of writerly events in my three weeks in Canada & quick stop in LA, but first I have to share the story of why our first phone message when we turned on the mobile at the airport was: We have your dogs. From Zarboo Hairdressing Salon.

" I just loved this book. It is one of my favourites of all time. The concept of the Queen being a prisoner in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and discovering, quite by accident, that a mobile Library van visits it just tooooo delightful. There are... "

River Thieves by Michael Crummey
River Thieves
by Michael Crummey (Goodreads Author)
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Very interesting to read this immediately after Kate Grenville's Secret River: similar time periods, similar issues, just different continents - and both brilliant books.

Hunted by Cheryl Rainfield
Hunted
by Cheryl Rainfield (Goodreads Author)
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
