I originally read this book many years ago, shortly after its release, when a friend leant it to me in university. I remember finishing it in one sitting, and sort of enjoying it, but not enough that I ever really sought it out to read again. When this popped up as a free read onContinueContinue reading “The Tales of Beedle the Bard – J.K Rowling [Books]”

Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures, Volume 1 [Books]
I’ll preface this by saying I am absolutely loving Audible. Not only am I able to access awesome audiobooks through it, but I really enjoy the podcasts too. And I was so excited to test out some of the Doctor Who content on there. I’ve heard a lot about the Big Finish productions, and theContinueContinue reading “Doctor Who – The Tenth Doctor Adventures, Volume 1 [Books]”

Peter Pan – J.M. Barrie, Audible Original Drama [Books]
I have to admit, it’s been a fairly long while since I actually read Peter Pan. When this popped up for free on Audible, I snatched it up, I’m finding I really like full cast audiobooks, and I was excited for this version of the story. Unfortunately, I didn’t really find it that great. Some ofContinueContinue reading “Peter Pan – J.M. Barrie, Audible Original Drama [Books]”
Charm – Sarah Pinborough [Book Review]
As soon as I finished Sarah Pinborough’s Poison, I knew I needed the next two books in the series in my life as soon as possible. I am a complete sucker for fairy tale retellings, and although the first book wasn’t amazing enough to blow my mind (I gave it 4 stars on Goodreads), it got meContinueContinue reading “Charm – Sarah Pinborough [Book Review]”
DisneyWar – James B. Stewart
Ah Disney. A world of magic and wonder and pure happiness. For most people, anyway. This book, as implied by the title, isn’t about the joy of Disney, but instead the business side, boardroom dealings and back stabbings. I love Disney. A lot. To the point I had a run of Disney themed blog postsContinueContinue reading “DisneyWar – James B. Stewart”
Black Mountains: The Recollections of a South Wales Miner – David Barnes [Books]
I have a current WIP which needs research, mostly research into mining, specifically in the Welsh Valleys, preferably around the end of the 19th Century into the start of the 20th. Which is the main reason I picked up this book, hoping it would shed a little light on miners, their way of life, andContinueContinue reading “Black Mountains: The Recollections of a South Wales Miner – David Barnes [Books]”
Esme’s Gift – Elizabeth Foster [Books]
Long-time readers of this blog might remember my review for Esme’s Wish, a wonderfully charming book about a young girl who finds herself in a new world, and discovers her mother spent much of her own time there before her disappearance. The adventure continues in Esme’s Gift. Here, we originally see Esme returning home, joyfully anticipating beingContinueContinue reading “Esme’s Gift – Elizabeth Foster [Books]”
Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties – Tony Knighton [Books]
Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties is a collection of short crime fiction by author Tony Knighton, with the title story being the first and longest, verging almost towards novella length. This could just be a personal preference, but I struggled to get through the collection. I found the writing to be dry, and thereContinueContinue reading “Happy Hour and Other Philadelphia Cruelties – Tony Knighton [Books]”
