Favourite fiction books in 2017

December 18, 2017December 17, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Continuing the Year in Review from last week’s posts about favourite movies from 2017, favourite places visited, and favourite restaurants, we’re now on to favourite books. I try to do one post for fiction and one post for non-fiction and they’re always the hardest lists I make. How to choose just ten amazing books? What… Continue reading Favourite fiction books in 2017

Book review: The Other Mrs Walker

December 17, 2017December 10, 2017 In Becky's Head2 Comments

This book club pick was one I would probably not have chosen on my own but after I read it I noticed that it kind of blew up. I saw that May Paulson-Ellis was giving talks during Book Week Scotland, It won Waterstones’ Scottish Book of the Year 2017, leading to new editions appearing in… Continue reading Book review: The Other Mrs Walker

Book review: Introducing Quantum Theory

December 10, 2017December 3, 2017 In Becky's Head4 Comments

Last year I finally got round to reading two out of the three in this series that was given away with copies of The Guardian in, oh… 2010? The two were Introducing Philosophy and Introducing postmodernism. One was good, one was not. This year I finally read the third one: Introducing Quantum Theory. I don’t… Continue reading Book review: Introducing Quantum Theory

Book review: The Improbability of Love

December 3, 2017December 3, 2017 In Becky's Head3 Comments

I’m still an absolutely sucker for a sudden book deal on Kindle. You know those messages they send you to let you know that hundreds of books will be reduced to around £1.49? So you look and it’s mostly trash but there’s actually 5 or 6 things that might be worth reading? So you obviously… Continue reading Book review: The Improbability of Love

November roundup

November 30, 2017January 7, 2018 In Becky's Head2 Comments

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Yeah yeah, I know it’s still November but the Edinburgh Christmas market has now opened and there are stalls right outside the office. Christmas lights are up in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Falkirk and I have already done a whole bunch of my Christmas shopping, even if I… Continue reading November roundup

Book review: Jane Eyre

November 26, 2017November 22, 2017 In Becky's Head11 Comments

Jane Eyre is one of a handful of free classics that I downloaded when I first got my Kindle. I had the very best of intentions to actually read these worthy tomes now that I could have access to them without even having to buy a copy (or even visit a library). Optimism brought on… Continue reading Book review: Jane Eyre

New to the queue (end of 2017)

November 23, 2017November 18, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

I’ve been using these short to-read lists lately, where I pick around 10 books I’d like to read next, and I’ve been finding them really helpful because my long to-read list is… unwieldy and when I have ~100 books to choose from I find it much harder to make a decision than when I only… Continue reading New to the queue (end of 2017)

What I want to get out of the rest of 2017

November 20, 2017November 20, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Want to hear something terrifying? There are only 41 days left in 2017.     I know, right? This time last year I couldn’t wait for the year to end, 2016 being what it was. I guess none of us expected 2017 to be worse but here we are. This year I’m a little more… Continue reading What I want to get out of the rest of 2017

Book review: The Waves

November 19, 2017November 18, 2017 In Becky's Head4 Comments

I can’t tell you how long this book has been sitting on my Kindle but I can tell you it has been too long. I read A Room of One’s own back in 2014 and loved it so perhaps that’s when I decided that I wanted to read more Woolf at some point. I am… Continue reading Book review: The Waves

Book review: The Thirty-Nine Steps

November 12, 2017November 12, 2017 In Becky's Head6 Comments

Have you seen the movie The Thirty-Nine Steps? Or perhaps one of the many theatre productions? I’ve not been lucky enough to see it at the theatre (yet) but I do remember seeing the Alfred Hitchcock movie a while back. Let me tell you, the book is barely like the movie at all. The Thirty-Nine… Continue reading Book review: The Thirty-Nine Steps
