Book review: The Complete Persepolis

February 4, 2018February 4, 2018 In Becky's Head2 Comments

Here’s a rare exaple of me: 1) breaking my book buying ban for something that isn’t a book club choice and 2) reading the new book within 6 months of acquiring it. Persepolis had been on my radar for ages and I definitely planned to read it at some point. I saw it was on… Continue reading Book review: The Complete Persepolis

Book review: Brighton Rock

January 28, 2018January 27, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Graham Greene is one of those famous writers who’s name I nknew but who I’d never read. Even though we have at least two books of his on the shelf. When I went to see Travels with my Aunt at the Citz last year, that was the first experience of Greene’s fiction that I’d had.… Continue reading Book review: Brighton Rock

The first short to-read list of 2018!

January 11, 2018January 10, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Last year I made my very long to-read list more manageable by periodically selecting ten books to read from it. That way, instead of having to pick from nearly 100 books, I only had to pick from 10, which is a much easier choice. Plus, I could select those ten books in advance, to make… Continue reading The first short to-read list of 2018!

Christmas pressies

January 8, 2018January 7, 2018 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

Seems to be I’m always getting spoiled way more than I deserve and Christmas is no exception to that. So I thought I’d use this post to express my gratitude for all the lovely things I recently recieved. Christmas gift-giving was a little split up this year. I swapped gifts with a few friends fairly… Continue reading Christmas pressies

Book review: Fat is a Feminist Issue

January 7, 2018January 6, 2018 In Becky's Head4 Comments

Disclaimer: It bothers me that I’m posting a review of this kind of book in January, when I know that the diet industry is at it’s most insidious and disgusting. Please don’t see this as a support of that. One of the good things about this book is that it attacks that very industry and… Continue reading Book review: Fat is a Feminist Issue

Book review: Savant

December 31, 2017December 28, 2017 In Becky's Head5 Comments

This was a book that I won in a competition that was run by SciFiNow way back in February. I retweeted something and then sent me a pile of books. It was very nice of them, and a great way to pick up some titles I was pretty unlikely to select for myself without help.… Continue reading Book review: Savant

December roundup

December 30, 2017December 28, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

It’s the last round up/status report of the year! December, as perhaps should be expected, has been a bit of a whirlwind this year and January is already looking like it’s going to follow suit (I really must start blocking out one weekend a month during which I will do nothing). However, I will do… Continue reading December roundup

Book review: The Loney

December 24, 2017December 23, 2017 In Becky's Head2 Comments

This was a bookclub pick by Gordon. Once he chose it, I kept seeing it popping up everywhere. I’m pretty sure half the commuters who catch the same train as me read it at some point. Do you know how hard it is to not be that person who interrupts strangers when they’re reading a… Continue reading Book review: The Loney

Favourite non-fiction books of 2017

December 22, 2017December 23, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

As I mentioned on Monday, when it comes to these yearly round-ups, the books summaries are often the hardest to narrow down. This year has been as challenging as expected. However, I’m here to try anyway. I read slightly less non-fiction than I’d prefer this year and much of the non-fiction I did read was… Continue reading Favourite non-fiction books of 2017

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
