    Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel

    Bring Up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel My rating: 5 of 5 stars So before we get into this, the facts: this is a barnstormer of a book and I enjoyed every inch of it. I came to it after reading Wolf Hall, which I had found a little difficult, and, as a consequence, feltContinue reading "Bring Up...

    The Second Mount by Christine Pullein-Thompson

    The Second Mount by Christine Pullein-Thompson My rating: 3 of 5 stars There is something so specific about this sort of book, I think, and it comes from their very particular DNA and that is this: martingales, poetry, a hand-gallop (which mystified me for years and possibly still might?), at...

    Tom’s Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce

    Tom’s Midnight Garden by Philippa Pearce My rating: 5 of 5 stars The last job of the day, then, to sit with this book and to think of it for in a way I have not stopped thinking about it ever since I read it for the very first time. I revisited it recently, promptedContinue reading "Tom’s...

    Power Of Three by Diana Wynne Jones

    Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars I do not remotely have coherent thoughts about this but let’s see what I have and see if, perhaps, some order comes of it. The first thing to say is that I am not particularly familiar with Diana Wynne Jones but IContinue reading "Power...

    Supper Club by Lara Williams

    Supper Club by Lara Williams My rating: 4 of 5 stars I picked this up at random, knowing very little about it, but intrigued, somehow, by the notion of a novel that centres on people taking up space when space is denied to them. The titular Supper Club is a gathering of women who areContinue...

    Singing for Mrs Pettigrew by Michael Morpurgo

    Singing for Mrs Pettigrew: A Story Maker’s Journey by Michael Morpurgo My rating: 4 of 5 stars When I was first getting into children’s literature as a field, as a topic, as a thing that I wanted to do properly and seriously and forever if the planets aligned, I began to spend my lunchtimes...

    The Women Of Troy by Pat Barker

    The Women of Troy by Pat Barker My rating: 4 of 5 stars I had often wondered to myself what a gender-flipped Troy story might look like and then I realised that I was not, actually, interested in what I thought I was. The story of Troy, for me, was one of men, at least,Continue reading "The...

    The Iliad by Gareth Hinds

    The Iliad: A Graphic Novel by Gareth Hinds My rating: 4 of 5 stars I have an enormous amount of time for what Gareth Hinds does and have thoroughly enjoyed his other work (The Odyssey: A Graphic Novel in particular) and rather loved this as well. Adapting anything is hard and the impact of...

    1178.

    I realised recently that I had hit over a thousand books on Goodreads: to be precise, I’m at 1178 books (another 800+ are on my want to read list but that’s a whole other existential crisis). I had intended to do something to mark the thousandth book I added to Goodreads but I missed itContinue...

    Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee – an Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown

    Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West by Dee Brown My rating: 4 of 5 stars I was thinking a lot about how to review this and where to even begin with this awful, profoundly upsetting, straightforwardly told thing and then I thought perhaps it is there. I...
