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.

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 »
