I am still enjoying Richard Osman’s gentle and fun series. Imagine that the Scooby Doo team are British (mostly) old people and the Mystery Machine is a nice retirement village you will get a picture of these stories. They even have a dog now. With their links so the police service, and some of themContinue reading “The Bullet That Missed – Richard Osman (AUDIOBOOK) – 26.09.22“

The Bertie Project – Alexander McCall Smith -21.09.22 A Time of Love and Tartan – Alexander McCall Smith – 29.09.22 The Peppermint Tea Chronicles – Alexander McCall Smith – 02.10.22 So, I started reading The Peppermint Tea Chronicles on my kindle, but then realised that I hadn’t read at least one previous book in theContinue reading “The Revolving Door of Life – Alexander McCall Smith – 15.09.22“
Fairy Tale – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 19.09.22
I really loved this book! I’ve read a few Stephen Kings, but this was very different – not horror (although there were some moments of gruesome violence), but, as the title proclaims, this is a fairy tale. The main character is a seventeen year old American boy, Charlie, who lost his mother to a roadContinue reading “Fairy Tale – Stephen King (AUDIOBOOK) – 19.09.22“
The Ink Black Heart – Robert Galbraith (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.09.22
I’m a big fan of the Cormoran Strike novels, and so I was very excited for this next installment. Hmmm. I think (as many other reviewers have said) that listening to this as an audiobook was probably not the best way to enjoy it. It is a book set largely in the online world, withContinue reading “The Ink Black Heart – Robert Galbraith (AUDIOBOOK) – 12.09.22“
A History of the Bible: The Book and Its Faiths – John Barton – 05.09.22
It’s rare for me to finish a non fiction book, because I usually get bored and annoyed at how they tend to be so long winded about everything. This book was a bit boring and longwinded at times, but I did finish it because it’s a subject that I found really interesting. I was raisedContinue reading “A History of the Bible: The Book and Its Faiths – John Barton – 05.09.22“
The Wolves of London (Obsidian Heart, Book 1) – AUDIOBOOK – Mark Morris (Author) – Ben Onwukwe – (Narrator) – 24.08.22
The Society of Blood: Obsidian Heart, Book 2 – 29.08.22 The Wraiths of War: Obsidian Heart, Book 3 – 03.09.22 Wow – I have been totally engrossed in these audiobooks (about 40 hours in total) for the last couple of weeks. The series is a kind of urban fantasy, time travel, magical thriller/horror sort ofContinue reading “The Wolves of London (Obsidian Heart, Book 1) – AUDIOBOOK – Mark Morris (Author) – Ben Onwukwe – (Narrator) – 24.08.22“
The Night Ship – Jess Kidd (Audiobook) – 19.08.22
This book follows two parallel stories, one set in the 16 hundreds, and the other in the 1980s. Both are told from the perspective of young children – Mayken, a young Dutch girl aboard the infamous ship Batavia, famous in real live for the horrific events surrounding its shipwreck near an island off the coastContinue reading “The Night Ship – Jess Kidd (Audiobook) – 19.08.22“
Lily – Rose Tremain – 14.08.22
I loved Rose Tremain’s book, The Colour, which I read years ago and so when this one was 99p on kindle I bought it. Lily is different from the books I’ve been reading of late – no magical realism or urban fantasy here – this is in some ways a very simple and straightforward novelContinue reading “Lily – Rose Tremain – 14.08.22“
The Gameshouse – Claire North – 10.08.22
This is my sixth Claire North novel of the summer, and unlike the previous one, The End of The Day, which was my favourite so far, this one was probably my least favourite. It’s actually sometimes sold as three novellas (annoyingly, Amazon keeps trying to tempt me into buy them as similar to what I’veContinue reading “The Gameshouse – Claire North – 10.08.22“
The End of the Day (Audiobook) –Claire North (Author), Peter Kenny (Narrator) – 04.08.22
This is my fifth Claire North novel of the summer, and my favourite so far. In fact I would say it’s my new stand out favourite audiobook after Aperigon. I loved the narrator who really, I think, captures the spirit of the different characters and the narrative as well as doing an impressive array ofContinue reading “The End of the Day (Audiobook) –Claire North (Author), Peter Kenny (Narrator) – 04.08.22“
