  • The Oremere Chronicles Omnibus

    By Shceuerer, H
    3 stars

  • To Flame a Wild Flower

    By Parker, S. A
    3 stars

    Last of the trilogy, bit of a long read to get to a predictable ending.

  • To Snap a Silver Stem

    By Parker, S. A
    4 stars

    Second of the trilogy, jaw dropping ending….

  • To Bleed a Crystal Bloom

    By Parker, S. A
    4 stars

    First of three, an angsty fantasy love story. This book leaves you in a bit of a daze, with far more questions than answers. Great read!

  • When the Moon Hatched

    By Parker, S. A
    4 stars

    Epic fantasy read. Bit slow off the mark but I was fully immersed in a world of dragons, sorcery & assassins as I hit half way. Difficult to put down, I’ll be reading the sequel that’s for sure!! Got to wait til May though :(

  • No One Can Hear You

    By Crutchley, N
    4 stars

  • Ripple

    By Allen, T
    4 stars

    It’s not the strangest book I’ve read but it’s up there in the top 5. A dolphin love story set 20 million years ago orca strated ;-) by celestial beings. It is surprisingly insightful about the very human conditions of mental health, love, purpose, fear & isolation.

  • Charlie and Pearl

    By Robinson, T
    4 stars

    Great read, starts as typical boy meets girl romance. He works in a book shop & she’s escaping a failed relationship. The book takes an unexpected turn 3/4s of the way in though…

  • The Pets We Have Killed

    By Else, B
    4 stars

    18 short stories that provide a snapshot of life, written across genres. Some funny, others emotive, or political. The difference in styles and perspectives made for interesting reading.

  • The Garden Party and other stories

    By Mansfield, K
    4 stars

    15 bite sized stories set across New Zealand, France & the UK. Written at the start of the 20C. An easy read.

  • The Cleaner

    By Cleave, P
    5 stars

    What a great story!! Joe is a cleaner at his local police station, but in his spare time he doubles as a sleuth & successful serial killer, that is until he meets Melissa…

  • Cemetery Lake

    By Cleave, P
    5 stars

    A gripping thriller set in Christchurch. Twists galore with the main character, a private detective morphing from hero to suspect as the story evolves. A fast paced read that kept throwing up curve balls and had me second guessing throughout.

  • The Warsaw Messenger

    By Duprez, K
    3 stars

    An emotional, thought provoking reimagining of an undercover Polish agent’s experiences in WW2.

  • Under the Surface Somerset Floods

    By Temperley. M
    5 stars

    Pictorial record and commentary of the devastating 2013 floods that reached rooftop high levels affecting many people across the Somerset Levels. This book is a stunning representation of a catastrophic event,

  • Withy, Rush & Reed

    By Bagias, C
    5 stars

    Beautiful pictures of the people & landscape that I grew up with, with a great micro insight into small businesses & people still making a living in the willow industry.
