  • Reading challenges – #read52 and #300PBs

    This year, like last year, I’m setting myself the challenge of reading 52 books. This year I’m going to actually try to keep track 😉 I don’t really use Goodreads any more, as now they are owned by Amazon I slightly object to basically doing their advertising for them. Instead, my 52 books will be…

  • Picture book presents.

    We’ve had some wonderful potential presents for review recently. It’s been a real pleasure reading most of them. I adore Stick Man. His adventures are quite woeful in a way (Big has declared that pooh sticks has been ruined forever!), but the easy rhyming of the story carries you along, and makes this a wonderful…

  • We love you Hugless Douglas

    I’ve read some other books for myself this week, including Allegiant, but I’m not quite ready to write down what I feel about that. (Yes, the kind of book where you’ve got to absorb it. There you go.) So tonight, I’ll give you a review of Hugless Douglas, the We love you edition. I don’t…

  • Phoenix by S.F.Said

    I was thrilled to be offered this book via netgalley, as I’d seen the wonderful trailer by Dave McKean and thought it looked great. (This is the trailer, in case you’ve missed out.) I’d also had S F Said recommended to me in the past, so was hopeful this would be an enjoyable experience. It…

  • Read52 with Big by Tim Hopgood and My busy being bella day.

    We’ve had a couple of lovely picture books sent for review in the last week or two, and we’ve very much enjoyed them. Big by Tim Hopgood arrived first. It’s the first story book that Tigerboy has responded to. He loves board books, particularly if they’ve got mirrors in them, but picture books have largely…

  • Read 52 Life after life and Grace under Pressure.

    After a less than brilliant holiday last week we’ve come back with a bumper batch of horrid colds. I even ended up taking to bed for a day, but to sleep instead of read. Which is probably why I haven’t finished my book this week, so the review of Life After Life will have to…
