Apologies for the absence of reviews recently – with no blog tour commitments, I took the opportunity to get ahead a little on next month’s reading (and my goodness, February’s going to be busy!). But today it’s a pleasure to be joining the blog tour for My Heart is in Venice by Helga Jensen, and… Read More »

I’ve already mentioned how delighted I’ve been to see the earlier books of L.H. Stacey repackaged and reissued by Boldwood Books – and equally so that new readers are loving them as much as I did the first time around.

Still tying up my loose ends from last year – and when putting my Books of the Year list together, I was horrified to realise that there were three books read earlier in the year that I’d entirely failed to review. I suspect you might be thinking “forget it – just move on”, but I… Read More »
