    Again, lots of questions I didn't think of from the kids listening to me read this

  • Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone (illustrated)

    By JK Rowling
    5 stars

    It was fun reading this aloud to children, they had different questions about the story than I had which made it an interesting re-read for me.

    By Rick Fisher and Andrew Crowe

    I love the way this book compares the development of people's seafaring skills in other parts of the world with Pacific peoples in a timeline. The illustrations are stunning.

  • The premonition at Withers farm

    By Jaime Jo Wright
    2 stars

    One of the two main characters, Molly, was blimmin annoying. I nearly gave up reading this book.

    I read this after Tears of Rangi. Some content is similar and some is new to me.

    By Jasper Fforde

    Predictable and so it was boring

    By Jasper Fforde
    3 stars

    A bit more predictable than the others in the series.

  • The well of lost plots

    By Jasper Fforde
    4 stars

    The third in this series of fast-paced detective adventures and the lines between reality and the literary worlds become more blurred.

  • Lost in a good book

    The 2nd book in a series. Fast-paced story-line and an easy read on a summer holiday

    An adventure-packed detective story set in the backdrop of a mash-up of colloqialisms, history, and fine literature. It's a fun read.

    Stunning pictures and I appreciated learning about events during my childhood that I only knew from the 6 O'Clock News on TV.

  • Murder in Postscript

    By Mary Winters
    3 stars

    The crime element of the story was good as it was not obvious who the killer was, but the romantic element was reminiscent of Mills & Boon and out of character for the heroine

  • Muder in Williamstown

    By Kerry Greenwood
    4 stars

  • Murder in Montparnasse

    By Kerry Greenwood
    4 stars

    Quite a few storylines to keep you turning the pages

  • The return of Sherlock Holmes

    By Arthur Conan Doyle
    0 stars

    Re-reading an old favourite is a treasure. The book is a collection of short stories stories which makes it the perfect book to read during term time; I can dip into it for a moment, and finish a whole story before coming back to it a week later.

  • Oh Miriam!

    By Miriam Margoyles
    0 stars

    Funny, funny, honest, rude bits, and some swearing

    By Walter Isaacson
    4 stars

    I loved it and even understood the quantum physics part. I loved the insightful parts of Einstein's thought experiments.
