Reading roundup 28/06/17
I have read three books since last week’s Roundup, two by Linda Fairstein and one by Ann Cleeves. I seem to be on a roll at the moment with crime/mystery fiction and these were no exception. Perhaps, when I next … Continue reading
Reading roundup 21/06/17

Update 04/05/17
A beautiful sunny day today, although quite windy. We have stayed in because Lovely Husband has had a bit of a reaction to yesterday’s procedure at the hospital. This afternoon, I finished the wonderful John Connolly book, A Game of … Continue reading
Update 26/04/17

Outfit of the day 20/04/17
