This is going to be the shortest book review I have ever done. Very little comment and not a huge amount of opinion! The Good man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ was disappointing. I won’t beat around the bush, it could have been so much and it really wasn’t. It sums to a pretty basic…

Next book – Lord Foul’s Bane by Stephen Donaldson
I’m about to get back into The good Jesus and the scoundrel Christ after a bit of a break. I began to slow down on the book a few days ago, but I have also had the MANFLU and therefore not gone too close to things that make me think. I should be able to…
Is there a Santa?
This is my first reblog! I took the plunge as this is such a great blog post. It caught me slightly unawares. I love the sentiment that allows love, family and health to be gifts. I believed that, but had never really seen it written down. I also like the main “is there a santa”…
Book Review – The Man in the Water – Ali Sparkes
Well now, this review is a little over due as I finished reading The Man in the Water on the 16th Dec. That was last year!!! The book took me 2 days to read and 2 weeks to get round to writing a review. I have read and reviewed Tuesdays with Morrie since then, and…
Book Review – Tuesdays with Morrie – Mitch Albom
This is a VERY quick blog post! My family and I stayed in Kew, London last night as a treat between Christmas and New Year. Our hotel room had various nice things in it, including a basket of books 🙂 A quick look at its contents bought me to Tuesdays with Morrie by MitchAlbom. I…
Book Review – The Sword of Shannara – Terry Brooks
I suppose that it would be best to start this review by describing my decision to buy The Sword of Shannara in the first place. I have read a lot of fantasy in the past and quite a bit of what I still have in my bookshelves is fantasy based, this is a hangover from when fantasy…
Cook Books
One of my quick updates… I have been meaning to bring up the subject of cookery books for a while now. I cook quite a bit and I use cookery books at least as much as I use the interweb to get recipes. I also store some on evernote, this is a random selection including…
Finished – The Man in the Water
Very quick post. Too tired to type reams. I finished The Man in the Water by Ali Sparkes. It was really good, and if you have small people who like books (and we all need those!) Please consider getting it for them. There is an Amazon link in my last post. I will get round…
Quick Next Book – The Man in the Water by Ali Sparkes
I have a couple of friends (you know who you are) who are involved in a charity called friendsofpicu.org.uk. The group is raising funds for the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at Southampton General Hospital in the UK. One of the ways that the group is raising funds for this very important facility is via the…
Everything is sustainable
I read a tweet from Al Gore at the start of this week that ended “We must choose a sustainable path forward.” I followed this up with a look at some of the replies and was amazed to see a huge expunging of bile! Some of this was directed personally at Al, but a lot…
