The Horse Dancer by Jojo Moyes

I have read and reviewed the previous books of the author below:   When I saw this book come up on Netgalley, I thought I would give it a shot before I saw how many pages it had. If I had registered that I might not have tried to read it, but I am glad…

The Middle Ground by Jeff Ewing

This is going to be a difficult review. Not because I have conflicting views of what I am going to say about the book as a whole but the fact that I finished it at a disproportionate time when compared with the time I started it and the time I have had it with me.…

Bellman & Black by Diane Setterfield

I cannot believe I have read all three books this year! Only things like this make me realise that time has not flown as fast as I think it has from one week to the next. I have linked the previous reviews below, and as I typed this out the whole discussion of time (it's…

It is further down the series that I would have liked to continue with the story that I rather enjoyed in the first…

A Life Without Water by Marci Bolden

I need to start this review (as I sometimes have to) by saying that the writing was great. It was very easy to read and evoked the right amount of emotions. That said, this was not what I expected and was not a book for me. Despite that fact, I could read it completely and…

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

I loved and reviewed the author's book:  Till date, it the most liked review on my blog and every time I read it I can remember the thrill I had felt at reading the book itself. In this tale as well, it was not the story itself that drew me in, it was the writing.…
