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

I want You Back by Sophie Toovey.

Kicked in the Heart by L A Remenicky
Who knew I liked American football? Well, I don’t really. It was the blurb that drew me to this story. I can’t say I’m a fan of the sport now either. 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

* Post Apocalyptic * 356 Pages Kindle Unlimited and Audio Book What I thought Well, overall this was an enjoyable read, although I skipped some pages. I was being a bit cheeky with what I said above.
