The Radleys – Matt Haig

On June 8, 2020May 31, 2020 By bookskepticIn Reviews1 Comment

I read this book ages ago, you could even say in a different world. I was autumn 2019 and I was happily on vacation in Crete, enjoying the amazing food, lovely weather, and beach. It feels surreal now, even though just before all the lockdowns I've also been to Tenerife enjoying pretty much the same …

November round-up

On December 3, 2016January 14, 2017 By bookskepticIn Thoughts3 Comments

It seems that like all months this year November just raced by, maybe it's for the best less time for thinking about the sorry state of world affairs...Reading-wise it was not a bad month, but it was actually only saved on Monday when I read two books in one day, that does not happen to …
