As promised, this is my second post rounding up the audiobooks I’ve listened to (and mostly enjoyed!) last year – in yesterday’s post (you’ll find it here if you’d like to catch up!), I had a quick gallop through January to June. So, June – and I started with The Secret River by Kate Grenville,… Read More »
You might just remember that I’ve fairly recently been converted to the joy of audiobooks – after several abortive earlier attempts when I found it really difficult to pay attention (and had an unfortunate tendency to drop off…), I discovered just how wonderful they can be as companions for walking. I shared a post back… Read More »
Happy New Year everyone! First review of the year, so just one last Christmassy read before I move on to other things? Because I’m really delighted to share my review today of the latest book from the wonderful Kim Nash, Snowflakes Over Muddleford Cove – and yes, it is a Christmas romance, but this is… Read More »
Yes, it’s that time again – homing in on the books I loved the very most in 2022. Do you know, it was 2014 when I produced my first Books of the Year list – just twelve carefully chosen books, but then a bit of a ramble (not like me at all, eh?) that enabled… Read More »
So, just one last review before I take a short break – with renewed apologies to those authors whose books were on my pre-Christmas reading list that I just couldn’t manage to get to this year (I’ll be looking out for your next books!). I’ll just take the opportunity to wish everyone the loveliest Christmas… Read More »

Just a week to go, and I always knew I was being a tad over-ambitious when I chose my pre-Christmas reading list of a dozen – two reviews done, six more this week, and my apologies to those authors whose books I’m just not going to get to this year. But that does mean that… Read More »

The e-copy… Read More »
Apologies for absence – I do need to remember that it’s not enough to simply read and enjoy all those lovely books on my pre-Christmas reading list, I should write a few reviews too! Today I’m delighted to share my review of A Christmas Celebration by Heidi Swain, which the publishers told me on the… Read More »

I promised to return and share my pre-Christmas reading list for this year – but I’ll admit that this post didn’t turn out quite the way I planned! Because when I counted up, I had 32 Christmassy books that I’d bought and were waiting on my kindle to be read (what can I say –… Read More »
