Apologies, I’ve been slacking a bit – still reading (of course – it’s like breathing!) but sorting out holidays, making sure my finances are in good order, filling the freezer with batch cooking, even some housework and ironing (I hardly know myself!). But I did promise to tell you about these books, didn’t I? I… Read More »

The reviews I write – and share – are always books I’ve read on my kindle, but it’s become a bit of a tradition to produce an annual round-up of the audiobooks I’ve listened to over the previous year. If you’ve read any of my previous audiobook posts (two for 2022 – here and here… Read More »

I always really enjoy pulling together my list of Books of the Year – looking back over the year, remembering the many hours of such enjoyable reading, reading again the many reviews.

I read my first Christmas book in August this year, and you’ll know how much I love every single one – but there does come a point when even I need to say “enough!”. At the weekend, I’ll share a post with a reminder of (and links to) all my many Christmassy reviews – they… Read More »
