A Mind of My Own by Kathy Burke

An interesting read.
Kathy's story and personality get lost towards to the end as the memoir turns more in to a CV listing people she has worked with, people who don't automatically come to mind.
There is no doubt she has done well, so here it is, laid

A Mind of My Own by Kathy Burke
"I thought the cheeky, short chapter style was good for the first few chapters. Then I realised there was nothing more. Not sure what I was looking for with this but I sure didn't get it. Still love her TV work though."

A Mind of My Own by Kathy Burke
"Pre ordered a signed copy as I love her so much and knowing we seemed to have had a very similar childhood background. The beginning of the book I thoroughly enjoyed and laughed a lot and I could relate to lots of things she wrote about, however the " Read more of this review »

Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller

We can feel the rawness of the writer's childhood as she brings to the page the heat, the brittleness, and the beauty of 1980s Africa.

This book is everything a memoir should be.

By Your Side by Ruth Jones
Rate this book
Clear rating
I really enjoyed the blend of humour and pathos, which made the story both entertaining and moving. Of the dual storylines, Linda’s was the standout for me; her chapters were so strong and engaging that they carried the weaker plot thread.

I can now recite five English kings in a row!

This is a well‑researched book that sits somewhere between academic history and pure leisure reading. At times I found myself getting lost among the many names and the intricate web of related families, as

Arundhati writes with a brooding foreboding. Sometimes she goes round the houses too much, but otherwise it is excellent.

It does not make for an easy read and some of the language is in your face, but she writes with an understanding of the time in
