The ‘Q’ books… #A-Z books 📚
First of all, apologies for the somewhat homemade appearance of the blog this week; the new WordPress block editor has arrived and I can’t get the classic version back. (If anyone has an idiot’s guide to the new version, please send it to Switzerland) This series is an adaptation of something I saw on Twitter…

(Sort of) Silent Sunday…
This is the year of things we can’t do, places we can’t go. Some things you know you miss, others – like this – you only realise you miss them when you see them on a Facebook video and wonder, when will we see things like this in real life again? I hope it plays…

Sweet ‘n’ sour books from… Leicestershire
Each S&S post features one romance or feel-good book and its blurb, and one in a crime fiction genre. (Click the covers to see the books on Amazon.) Today’s books are two of my all-time favourites, though one’s been around for quite a lot longer than the other. Sweet: The Secret Diary of…

(Coronavirus) summer scenes…
To say that springtime 2020 was different to other springs is an understatement, considering we spent most of it in full coronavirus lockdown. Now it’s summer, and while some restrictions have been relaxed, we are still in the middle of a pandemic, and the usual activities and conversations aren’t always possible. Here are a few…

Writing in Cornwall – Mandy James
I’ve never forgotten those childhood holidays in Cornwall – one day I’ll go back. And when I do, I’ll be sure to visit fellow-writer Amanda James. Mandy not only lives in Cornwall, with a lovely sea view and the beach (almost) on her doorstep, she’s set all her books there too. Here she is to…

Sweet ‘n’ sour books from… Down Under
Today on Sweet ‘n’ Sour books, we’re having two very different books in two genres, both set Down Under and both by the same author.(Each S&S post features one romance or feel-good book and its blurb, and one in a crime fiction genre. Click the covers to see the books on Amazon.) Sweet: Walking…

The ‘O’ books… #A-Z books 📚
