Summer is over and winter is drawing in. Now is the time to think about something new to read, or something different, or both.
Here are links to my nine, most recent book reviews. They may give you some inspiration for your next read.
Men in Caring Occupations by Ruth Simpson
What does it mean to be a man in a female dominated profession?
Curtain: Poirot's Last Case, by Agatha Christie
Hercule Poirot is ill, he is dying, and he invites his old friend, Arthur Hastings, for one, last investigation
A Tiny Bit Marvellous by Dawn French
This is a story of modern family life, told through the diaries of three different members of one family
The Clothes They Stood Up in by Alan Bennett
This is a slim volume but Bennett still manages to pack a punch with his sparse prose, with many touches of his sharp and on-the-nail humour.
This is another slim volume, just one short story and an essay, but it’s a perfect quick read as an eBook.
Tales Of The City by Armistead Maupin
It is 1976 and Mary Ann Singleton changes her visit to San Francisco into a permanent move.
How to Talk to Girls at Parties by Neil Gaiman
It’s the suburbs in the 1970s, and two teenage lads, Enn and Vic, go to a teenage party to meet girls.
Rude Britannia: One Man's Journey Around the Highways and Bi-ways of British Sex By Tim Fountain
Tim Fountain set out here to explore Britain’s sexual highways and byways, to explore the fetish clubs, swingers’ clubs, dogging sites and much, much more.
The Fallen Curtain by Ruth Rendell
Ruth Rendell was known for her dark psychological thrillers, but she also wrote many short stories. This was her first collection of them.
Happy reading
