I bought this book first hand, from Waterstones, with my Christmas book tokens, after a long conversation on Twitter after reading the nonsense that is A Discovery of Witches, about true love and it's representation in fiction. I was recommended reading this by @sianushka, who has such a similar taste in fiction to me for … Continue reading TBR 4# Frenchmen’s Creek

What I Read During My Holidays Part 2- Why Be Happy When You Could By Normal?
Now I'm going to sound really dreadful, but I've never read any Jeanette Winterson before. I've heard of her, obviously, and I own quite a but of her, but I've never read any! I understand this means they want by Feministy Book Blogger badge back but HA HA HA YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BECAUSE IT … Continue reading What I Read During My Holidays Part 2- Why Be Happy When You Could By Normal?

What I Read During My Holidays Part 1-The Luddites
Last week I broke with tradition and spent my holiday lying on my Dad's sofa and reading. And it was, as it always is, utterly blissful. I took originally three books to read with me, this soon rose to four as I went via my Auntie S, who's always good for a lend, and I … Continue reading What I Read During My Holidays Part 1-The Luddites

TBR 3# Sidetracked
This is a bit of a cheat because I didn't actually buy this book, in fact technically I nicked it. When I started watching Wallander in the Autumn of 2009 and became instantly obsessed with all things Swedish, starting with Ola Rapace (google him and thank me later), I spoke on Twitter about wanting to … Continue reading TBR 3# Sidetracked
In Praise Of: Anne of Green Gables, Avonlea, Prince Edward Island
Some of you will remember that I rather aggressively stated my resolve to stay away from book series this year. Too little time...too many book club books to keep up to date with...and now...too little willpower. I have a really good reason though. Honest! As most of you probably know, I read … Continue reading In Praise Of: Anne of Green Gables, Avonlea, Prince Edward Island
