Read for a challenge,
The Night Agent by Matthew Quirk (a handy "Q" for A-Z authors), turned out to be a stylish political thriller. 4★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

My review of Wearing Paper Dresses by Anne Brinsden
This small picture does not do justice to the gorgeous cover.5 stars

A Small Fiction by James Mark Miller with illustrations by his brother Jefferson, could be a quick read, or you could tease out the joy of it by just reading a few stories each day. They are very short, but so succinct, they get the message across in just a few lines. There are lots of laughs...Highly recommended, 5★s

I've not yet been disappointed with anything Rachel Joyce writes, and Miss Benson's Beetle is no exception. A wonderful, laugh-out-loud, tear-in-the-eye read.5★s

Hooked on this series now! My review for Redemption Point by Candice Fox
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
Not often I am disappointed with a read, however, this book annoyed the life out of me and it was hard to be objective with the review.
3 stars and for me this was a push

What a great way to introduce kids to some of the classics by the much-loved Charles Dickens! I think A World Full of Dickens Stories by Angela McAllister would make an excellent gift.
5★ Link to my Dickens review with several illustrations
I knew I'd enjoy a visit to C.J. Sansom's 16th century London, but by golly it was terrifying in Revelation! 
4.5★ Link to my Revelation review
I just finished and reviewed The Bridge On The River Kwai by Pierre Boulle which has been described as a 'classic war novel' . I absolutely loathed it, one star, itemised review of WHY I loathed it. Just 175 pages which felt like torture. It is an insult to any veteran who was actually a POW on the death railway in my opinion.If anyone is even considering this stinker, please reconsider; there are many better books about this sad period of WWII. The Railway Man for a start, just off the top of my head.

My review of One to Watch by AA Rachel Amphlett. Disappointing. 3★https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I'm really enjoying listening to audiobooks as I do chores, and I often find that the narrator brings something to the book that I didn't get from reading it myself. This is certainly so for Ulli Birve's wonderful reading of Lucy Treloar's brilliant debut novel, Salt Creek.5★s from me

Loving this series 🐊🐊My review for Gone by Midnight by Candice Fox
https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
My new favourite book! Becoming Duchess Goldblatt: A Memoir is funny, poignant, witty, unique. The anonymous author shares her real, broken life and the wise tweets of her 81-year-old Twitter alter-ego. "People often come to me seeking the true meaning of life, but I find they’re usually satisfied with half a sandwich." DG
5★ Link to my Duchess Goldblatt review with some of her many observations on life
