Tales of Wrykyn And Elsewhere: Twenty-five Short Stories of School Life by P.G. Wodehouse

My first foray into PG Wodehouse had been Jeeves( The first book was not completed as I mentioned in the earlier post about the past favourites.) but the next semi successful ownership was of school tales. Some of the stories in this book I had read previously but a few were new. School stories of…

Born a Crime : Trevor Noah

It is a strange thing to be writing a review on a partial autobiography of someone you watched on TV just this morning. It is stranger still to try to absorb how normal most of our lives have been and how thankful we should be for the same. I find it hard to rate/comment on…

A Very English Mystery books 1 &2 Elizabeth Edmondson

I recently talked about series reading with a friend of mine. She made a very good point,  making sure that the series is complete or close to completion when you begin for purposes of closure.I nodded at the time ( it was on the phone and she obviously did not see this inane action) but…

In the Company of Cheerful Ladies (No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency, #6)-by Alexander McCall Smith

The Theory of Opposites by Allison Winn Scotch

This is my last review for the night and probably for the next few days( how many days, remains to be seen). I am trying to pace myself since this is not a race of any kind and I am fully utilizing my monthly kindle subscription , not to mention my local public library (…

No Wind of Blame (Inspector Hemingway #1) by Georgette Heyer

This book might be one of a series but the stories do not have any continuity exactly and therefore merit individual reviews. Georgette Heyer has usually a set of whimsical characters at the core of a story and you sometimes have to take time to absorb the absurdity of what they consider as their normal.…

Veiled (Bone Secrets #3.5) by Kendra Elliot

I have been on an unplanned digital detox of sorts with no internet footprint for the past few days. Now I am prepared to remedy that situation 🙂 I went through multiple kindle selections, even abandoning one , one chapter into it( I will not mention those abandoned books in this blog just in case I…
