All about books!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Can you believe it is now 2015? Goodness me…! 2014 was a great year. My son became a toddler, a very smiley and slightly mischievous toddler; I went back to work; I learnt how to crochet and I read some brilliant (and also some quite rubbish!) books. Here is my 2014 reading: […]
Book number 52 in 2014 was the final book in my Mount TBR Challenge! I am very pleased to have successfully completed the challenge and to have read 12 books which have been hanging around for a while…! I really enjoy Coben’s books. I didn’t used to enjoy thrillers – I scare easily! – but […]
Book number 49 was off the Mount TBR Pile. I am pleased to say I have now read Crazy as Chocolate by Elisabeth Hyde, which has been sitting on my shelf for a while now… I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started this. I haven’t enjoyed all the books on my Mount TBR […]
The 45th book in 2014 was another from my Mount TBR Challenge – John Grisham’s Playing For Pizza. This is the second Grisham novel I have read this year, and it was very different to The Racketeer! Grisham has stepped away from his law thrillers, and taken us into the world of American Football – […]
Bill Bryson’s Notes From a Small Island was book number 42 in 2014. This book has been on our bookcase for a while so I put it down as part of my Mount TBR challenge. I have now read 9 books in that challenge! I didn’t know what to expect with this book. I was […]
Are you like me…do you have more than one book on the go? For me, the breakdown is simple: What I am reading and What I have started but not picked up in a while: What I Am Reading Radical Growth Havilah Cunnington The pathway to the radical growth you’re wanting is not complex. It’s […]
Number 39 in 2014 was a book off my Mount TBR pile, Death By Love by Mark Driscoll. This book has been sitting on my shelf for a long time. In fact, I had previously started this book so it was good to finish it! This was a challenging read, for two reasons. The first, […]
Book number 32 was John Hart’s Down River. This book is from my Mount TBR challenge – it has been sitting on my shelf for a few years… I think I had been putting off reading this novel in case I found it scary (yep, I’m a wuss…!) however, I wish I hadn’t put this […]
Book number 28 was another book off my 2014 TBR Challenge: Philip Yancey’s What’s So Amazing About Grace? I massively struggled with this book. I’ve read it slowly over 6 months because I found the writing didn’t flow very well. I had high hopes for this book, having been told just how great it is, […]
Book number 27 is Katharine McMahon’s The Crimson Rooms. This isn’t the first novel by McMahon that I have read. Back in 2008 I read The Rose of Sebastopol, which I remember enjoying. I’ve had The Crimson Rooms on my shelf for a while. This wasn’t part of my TBR Challenge, but I thought I […]
