The thing is, I LOVE cooking and the joy I find in reading recipe books is huge, even if I’m not cooking, it gives me inspiration and drives my dreams for future meals. This is something I actually feel quite strongly about. I do love food and cookbooks and have spent a long time just … Continue reading Is it possible to review a cookery book?

The First Phone Call from Heaven
I really enjoyed this book. I was able to get absorbed, and finished it within two days. Coldwater, Michigan, USA. Tess Rafferty, starts to receive calls from a deceased loved one. She, together with the other ‘chosen’ residents of Coldwater believe it’s a miracle which soon transforms this small town into the pilgrimage destination eagerly … Continue reading The First Phone Call from Heaven
A shot in the Dark – Neil Richards & Matthew Costello
I’m not gonna lie, the thrill of an old school mystery is a real love of mine – I’m a real sucker for Agatha Christie and the like and when I was offered the chance to review this new novel, I jumped at it. Previous readers/followers of the Bartlett’s Book Nook blog will know that … Continue reading A shot in the Dark – Neil Richards & Matthew Costello
Coming to a realisation
Morning all! I've obviously been lapse in my blogging of late, moving house and just not having much inspiration so I've spent more time reading other blogs and I think I've had a bit of a breakthrough. Blogs don't have to be overly long do they? I've always thought they need to be full of … Continue reading Coming to a realisation
Judging a book by it’s cover

Upcoming reads
I've started (as those who've read my previous posts) a reading challenge for the year but until I managed to actually get my ass down to the local library I'm going to read as much as possible and try to push me out of my standard reading comfort zone. My mum and dad bought me … Continue reading Upcoming reads
Fire & Fury: Michael Wolff
I wrote this back in 2018, as one of the first random books that I'd read and wanted to talk about. I had hoped to find people who also had read or even those who had views which were different to mine but sadly, no-one stepped forward so I'm going to assume that this will … Continue reading Fire & Fury: Michael Wolff
Hogfather: Sir Terry Pratchett
“All right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need… fantasies to make life bearable.” REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE. “Tooth fairies? Hogfathers?” YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START … Continue reading Hogfather: Sir Terry Pratchett
