Too big for a paperback, and being solid, made its sturdy enough to rest on my lap… Continue reading Karen’s Chat on Magic Pictures

Abscond by Abraham Verghese

My Review This was very different to what I’m used to reading. It was interesting in parts. It was also odd in parts, and to be honest I’m not sure I loved it. Ravi is a thirteen year old Indian boy and the story is of his coming of age. It begins with his view… Continue reading Abscond by Abraham Verghese

But this story isn’t about that, although it’s a bonus if you do like it. No, this is about the relationship between Butch and… Continue reading Kicked in the Heart by L A Remenicky
