This book was presented to me on Amazon as ‘similar’ books I might like. Well, I did. It was excellent. It is about a family, Clint, his estranged wife Daphne, and their daughter, Mika who were all in different parts of the state when the earthquake strikes. Each person has a different chapter which tells… Continue reading My Review – Fault Lines Upheaval by Harley Tate
This was my WI Book Club this month. After A Thousand Splendid Suns I was hoped for something more my style. Angel of Death fitted the bill perfectly. It was a fast paced extremely dark crime thriller. I winced in places hoping it wouldn’t go into too much detail, and it didn’t. But it was… Continue reading My Review – Angel of Death by Ben Cheetham
This is book number twelve and I’ve read them all over the last eleven years. The thing I love most is they are set in north Wales where I live. Often based on Anglesey, or like this story, they frequently visit. Inspector Drake and his team of now familiar detectives are faced with a murder… Continue reading My Review – Looking Good Dead by Stephen Puleston
Yes, two fantastic reads. I’ve only started reading two books at once recently and I haven’t done it for a few months. It only works for me if one is a paperback and the other an ebook. I read my kindle in bed just before I sleep and when I wake. This is the first… Continue reading I’m Reading These Two Books

On Netflix, I love the try before you watch. I’m talking about the film trailer, a little taster that tells you whether it is worth watching. It’s the same for books. They are so good these days. A little bit of moving magic that can tempt you in. So on that note, here are mine… Continue reading Book Trailers

The chosen book which was Khaled Hosseini's A Thousand Splendid Suns, which I reviewed it on here. Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to… Continue reading The WI Book Club
When I was looking at Neil Gaimen's website, he had a page called Cool Stuff & Things. I was immediately drawn to the name. It was interesting and I wanted one on mine. So I’ve started one too. You’ll find it on the menu and from the link below. It will be a work in… Continue reading My Cool Stuff
I found this on a Facebook advert. By the sound of it I hoped it would be like one of those disaster films and it was. It’s a long book for me, but I tore through within a few days. Action packed with three interesting protagonists. The story moved between their crucial roles and the… Continue reading My Review – World Quake by Mark Hobson
