Tales of the City 1 (Tales of the City Series) - Tales Of The City

Review:Another great read from this series! I have fallen in love with all the characters and hope there is more in the future after the last one. If he keeps pumping them out, I will keep reading them! They are like looking into a window at your disfunctional famuly. Read more

The Watchmaker of Filigree Street

Review:I really wanted to like this book. Loved the setting, the writing style, the characters and most of the plot. I say most, becauuse *SPOILERS AHEAD* that precognition thing made my brain hurt and I couldn't really follow the intricacies of its workings, or even understand what was not to understand and where the understanding ends... it just seemed messy to me, and the ether-thing really didn't make things better for me. Maybe it is that I am not a native english speaker, but at the end the book ... Read more

As Chimney Sweepers Come to Dust - A Flavia de Luce Novel

Review:The writing style changes slightly in this installment, but that may be a result of the fact that the setting is entirely different than the first novels of the series. It also gives the feeling that Flavia is starting to grow up a little more which adds a new dimension to her character to draw you in. Can't wait for the next one! Read more

A laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that will have you hooked!

Review:I laughed aloud, cried, stayed up way too late, and was so sad to say goodbye to Nat and her Gran. If you don't love this book there's something wrong with you! So excited to find this author, who is pure gold. If you need a fresh read, this book is for you. Read more

Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained (Collins Classics)
Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained (Collins Classics)

Review:This Modern Library edition is gorgeously printed and well-annotated with invaluable critical notes that will make the work vastly more accessible to the average person while providing useful background to others. I would have preferred it to have included Paradise Regained, however, as I think it's an important companion to the work. Those with more of an interest in literary criticism or who wish to more vigorously digest and dissect the poem would be advised to steer themselves towards the No... Read more

A George Smiley Novel (George Smiley Novels) - The Spy Who Came in from the Cold

Review:My first le Carre. Loved it! Having read some of Lundlums Bourne stuff I wasn't sure what to expect. While not as action packed, this has a perfect balance of story telling and intrigue. I think what le Carre doesn't say is what makes this work so well! Definitely a new fan here! Read more
