📚 REVIEW | Listen To The Wind – Susanne Dunlap

Susanne Dunlap brings to life 13th Century France masterfully in this tale. Although I do not know much about the era, this book brought back memories as reading Kate Mosse’s Labyrinth – a book I completely adore. I have much the same feelings for Listen to the Wind. Our two central characters, Azemar and Azalaïs,… Continue reading

📚 REVIEW | The Kicking Tree – Trevor Stubbs

Jack kicked out at the bush by his front gate as he had done every day since he was eight. It was a habit he had indulged in for the last nine years. He had no idea what the variety of bush or tree it was – he simply called it his “kicking tree” –… Continue reading

About Me

Books and food enthusiast. I discovered a love for reading in my late teens, so you’ll see me catching up on older series quite often. I also love to travel around the UK, where I live, and picking up some crafty hobbies – I hope to share snippets of this amongst all the book content. Other interests include gaming, podcasts, drinking too much tea, and trying to personify autumn.
