These are all reviews of books I have loved and would like to spread the word about.
I try to read as a writer as well as a reader, so I can learn more about the craft of writing novels. Sometimes it’s hard though, because I get so lost in the story that I lose track of how it is structured, or how the author is cleverly shifting between points of view or why a particular sentence works so well.
But I do try, so these reviews are written from a writer’s point of view as well as a reader’s or fan’s.
One other thing: I am a member of a book club in South Northamptonshire which only reads novels by dead people — i.e. the classics. So there are lots of old books here. But we are beginning to venture more into the 20th and 21st centuries so are reading far more contemporary books now. Plus I also read my own choices in addition to the set texts.
So there’s a good mix!
