September 1803 (Richard Sharpe's Adventure Series #2)

Review:This is another in the Sharpe series of books and it is as entertaining and as exciting as all of them are. This series is historically correct and reminds one of the great stories that so captivates a reader such as the Flashman and Hornblower classics of the past. A great read!! Read more

Review:Cornwell is a great story teller and this continues the excellent start of 'The Last Kingdom'. Gripping and well researched - the historical links give an interesting insight into post Roman Britain. Read more

Fools and Mortals: A Novel
Fools and Mortals: A Novel

Review:37-Fools and Mortals by Bernard Cornwell (Novel-E Book-Fiction) 5* Welcome to the War of the Theaters...Bernard Cornwell style. Perhaps it's not the actual main event that history mentions but it is a very close re-creation of the history of the theater and the competitiveness between the different houses to obtain the most patrons and audiences..where money is to be made the stakes are high. In this work the author gives the reader Richard Shakespeare, yes the younger brother of famous Willi... Read more

A Book Club Recommendation! (The Hudson Sisters Series)
A Book Club Recommendation! (The Hudson Sisters Series)

Review:When does the next book come out? I mean, I know that this first one JUST came out, but the next one will be soon, right?
I just loved this book. Three sisters, Cara, Des, and Allie didn’t grow up together. As a matter of fact, only Des and Allie did; they had no clue that Cara existed and Cara knew nothing of their existence. They got this bombshell at the reading of the will after their father’s death. He also decided that for ANY of them to receive their inheritance, they must ALL work tog... Read more

The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster
The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster

Review:I wish e author hadn't tried for a Victorian style the result was so stilted that I had to scan perhaps half of the book. The core idea was intriguing (that's why I bought it), but this reads like a very rough first draft. I wish the author had revised several more times. I really wanted to care about the characters, but they're all really flat. Read more

I'm Thinking of Ending Things - A Book Club Recommendation!
I'm Thinking of Ending Things - A Book Club Recommendation!

Review:Give yourself room, time and expectation to read I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS twice. At least. Even after the second time through, you may love or hate this debut novel by Iain Reid, either because you understand what has happened within its pages or you still do not have a clue.

While beautifully written and a one-sit read by design, it is a puzzle. Indeed, it is so much so that Reid’s publisher has ever-so-thoughtfully created a website for those who wish to comment on and discuss the ... Read more

Gripping and heartbreaking historical fiction - The Runaway Children

Review:The book was not an easy read as you lived the struggle. I felt as if the author could have shortened it a tad without taking away from the content. It was a solid story. Personally, it was a draining book to read. The ending was a bit of a surprise. Overall I thought the author did an excellent job. Read more
