Trearddur Bay WI has started a Book Club, and of course I had to join. At our branch meeting in April, I was given a copy of A Thousand Splendid Suns in paperback from the local library.

This came in an email from Amazon with a few other books where I could choose one for free. I chose this because I like the author and I loved The Handmaid’s Tale.

The Kindle copy was £4.10,… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on a Buying Expensive Books

This is… Continue reading My Review of Broken by Ellen Read

I renewed my audible membership recently because they offered me a good deal. I wanted to read a particular book that wasn’t in kindle unlimited. It enabled me to download it for 99p, but then I didn’t like it, lol. Already in my library was The Breakdown. I’d read one of B. A. Paris's books… Continue reading My Review of The Breakdown by B.
