Do you remember how excited I was about The Christmas Promise? When I said that a new book from one of my very favourite authors was a real cause for celebration?

I’ve had the most wonderful response (still room for more though…,!) and I… Read More »

I’ve really become quite a fan of Jennifer Bohnet’s writing. First of all, Jennie visited Being Anne for a lovely interview, then I absolutely loved The Little Kiosk by the Sea (you can read my review here) – and I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting her writing with A French Pirouette (review here). So when I heard… Read More »

It was an absolute joy to host author Kirsty Ferry last week with a wonderful post about the historical background to her latest book, The Girl in the Photograph. You’ll undoubtedly be reading a review of that one on Being Anne in the future – but I’m still catching up, and I’ve just finished reading the… Read More »

As so many of you have shared every twist and turn of my life over the last few months – and been so very supportive – I thought another short update might just be in order, along with an easy-to-enter giveaway.

It’s nearly two years since I read and thoroughly enjoyed Letting in Light by Emma Davies – you’ll find my review here, together with a great guest post from Emma.

I’ve mentioned that I’m having problems reading at the moment, haven’t I? I’m taking forever – and it’s not the books, it’s me. But not this book – I raced through it last Sunday, postponing dinner until I’d finished (sorry, Mum!), because I wanted so desperately to read to the very end. Through The Barricades… Read More »
