Thursday, July 12, 2012. Books I read in June. June was a good month for reading. It helped a lot that I had my summer holidays and while in Barcelona (which is an awesome city btw - if you've never been you should definitely remedy this soon) we even dedicated entire days to doing nothing but reading (and eating, of course - oh how I love Spanish tapas! The result is that I managed to finish 5 books last month (yay for me! The faithless and The business by Martina Cole. Unfortunately, Martina Cole.

Monday 28 February 2011. Book Review : Snakes and Earrings. To outrageously paraquote (there I go again, coining new words. The language is simply not big enough for me I’m afraid), a rather famous Liverpudlian, discovery of gems is what happens when you are planning on buying other books. The other day I was in my favourite bookstore in Ireland,. Http:/ www.noalibis.com/. By the Japanese author, Hitomi Kanehara. A mythological dragon, that would cover almost her entire back. I get this feeling from her ...

Tuesday 7 June 2011. This is the first novel by one of the heroines of self publishing, Saffina Desforges who hails from England. Set in England, the backdrop is the disappearance and murder of young girls. A hue and cry goes out. The tabloids bay for blood, the police are under pressure. The usual suspects, literally, are rounded and hounded. One in particular, a convicted paedophile with insight into his condition, gives help, understanding. Is not just a piece of well written, well paced, heart stoppi...

Thursday 17 March 2011. Marc Almond and Jeremy Reed at Wilton's Music Hall, London : March 12th 2011.

Monday 21 March 2011. Theakston Crime Fest 2011.

The next one however is set in Dublin where the main protaganist is ex Garda (Poli...
