"4 star review Chloe's Rescue Mission by Rosie Dean

"First time reading this author and I loved it. Good characters, good story, great meet/cute. I loved that it was set around the world of theater.
Will Chloe be able to save the beloved family theater? You’ll have to read to find out. Go grab a copy to" Read more of this review » |

“Whatever the final cost of HS2, all those tens of billions could clearly buy lots of things more generally useful to society than a quicker ride to Birmingham. Then there is all the destruction of the countryside. A high-speed rail line offers nothing in the way of charm. It is a motorway for trains. It would create a permanent very noisy, hyper-visible scar across a great deal of classic British countryside, and disrupt and make miserable the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout its years of construction. If the outcome were something truly marvellous, then perhaps that would be a justifiable price to pay, but a fast train to Birmingham is never going to be marvellous. The best it can ever be is a fast train to Birmingham. Remarkably, the new line doesn’t hook up to most of the places people might reasonably want to go to. Passengers from the north who need to get to Heathrow will have to change trains at Old Oak Common, with all their luggage, and travel the last twel

"Totally bewildered by the 5 star reviews. This was awful. Evie, the heroine is a miserable, selfish, dishonest young woman. Everything is always other people’s fault and she shows virtually no self awareness or insight into the effects of her awful b"

This was a comforting read. I really enjoy watching Ben's New Lives in the Wild; he comes across as a thoughtful, caring man, interested in life and how people live it. During Lockdown, when we were all staying at home and reflecting on life - both pa ...more |

Delightful. As a novice gardener and a devoted dog lover, I really enjoyed this. Monty Don has a wonderful lyrical style, making this memoir warm and readable. Each dog, as we know, has its own characteristics and Monty brings them to life beautifull ...more | |

This book has charm and adventure whilst delivering an important message. We are led into an enduring love story between a young girl and a lone polar bear. Many a child will identify with the unique bond that can form between a human and an animal – ...more | |
“Whatever the final cost of HS2, all those tens of billions could clearly buy lots of things more generally useful to society than a quicker ride to Birmingham. Then there is all the destruction of the countryside. A high-speed rail line offers nothing in the way of charm. It is a motorway for trains. It would create a permanent very noisy, hyper-visible scar across a great deal of classic British countryside, and disrupt and make miserable the lives of hundreds of thousands of people throughout its years of construction. If the outcome were something truly marvellous, then perhaps that would be a justifiable price to pay, but a fast train to Birmingham is never going to be marvellous. The best it can ever be is a fast train to Birmingham. Remarkably, the new line doesn’t hook up to most of the places people might reasonably want to go to. Passengers from the north who need to get to Heathrow will have to change trains at Old Oak Common, with all their luggage, and travel the last twelve miles on another service. Getting to Gatwick will be even harder. If they want to catch a train to Europe, they will have to get off at Euston station and make their way half a mile along the Euston Road to St Pancras. It has actually been suggested that travelators could be installed for that journey. Can you imagine travelling half a mile on travelators? Somebody find me the person who came up with that notion. I’ll get the horsewhip. Now here’s my idea. Why not keep the journey times the same but make the trains so comfortable and relaxing that people won’t want the trip to end? Instead, they could pass the time staring out the window at all the gleaming hospitals, schools, playing fields and gorgeously maintained countryside that the billions of saved pounds had paid for. Alternatively, you could just put a steam locomotive in front of the train, make all the seats inside wooden and have it run entirely by volunteers. People would come from all over the country to ride on it. In either case, if any money was left over, perhaps a little of it could be used to fit trains with toilets that don’t flush directly on to the tracks, so that when I sit on a platform at a place like Cambridge or Oxford glumly eating a WH Smith sandwich I don’t have to watch blackbirds fighting over tattered fragments of human waste and toilet paper. It is, let’s face it, hard enough to eat a WH Smith sandwich as it is.”
