Book review: V for Vendetta

October 22, 2017 In Becky's Head1 Comment

Although I’d quite enjoyed the film in 2005 I never quite got around to reading V for Vendetta. I don’t read very many graphic novels in general. Not for any particular reason, I just never seem to get around to them. However, when one of the book club group suggested V for Vendetta I was… Continue reading Book review: V for Vendetta

Book review: Wolf Hall

October 15, 2017October 14, 2017 In Becky's Head11 Comments

Does Amazon send you countless emails with offers on books? Do you look, just in case there’s something you actually want to read? Do you end up buying virtual stacks of them at £0.99 and £1.49 just because you can’t not own this text if that’s the price? I’m sure this is why half the… Continue reading Book review: Wolf Hall

Book review: Leave it to Psmith

October 1, 2017September 30, 2017 In Becky's Head8 Comments

This beautiful Folio Society Edition of P.G. Wodehouse’s Leave it to Psmith was a Christmas gift from P a few years back (he also got me a gorgeous old edition of Wordsworth poetry because he’s just that wonderful). I’ve never really read any Wodehouse before, although I’ve seen a few of the old Fry and Laurie… Continue reading Book review: Leave it to Psmith

Book review: Cloud Atlas

September 24, 2017September 23, 2017 In Becky's Head9 Comments

My sister likes books but she doesn’t find as much time to read as I do, so I was surprised years ago when she picked up a copy of Cloud Atlas, apparently on a whim. I was less surprised when she brought it to me asking if I wanted it because she was never going… Continue reading Book review: Cloud Atlas

Book review: Decipher

September 17, 2017September 9, 2017 In Becky's Head7 Comments

When I was a teenager, specifically, when I was 13 back in 2002 I had a tendency to fall through books. They became an obvious Christmas or birthday gift and that year my grandmother gave me Decipher by Stel Pavlou, reasoning that, given its length, it should keep me busy for a while. Somehow, in… Continue reading Book review: Decipher

Book review: The Immortals

September 10, 2017September 3, 2017 In Becky's Head3 Comments

The Immortals is yet another example of Amazon tempting me with their Kindle offers. Last year in November they made it available for £1.49 and I snapped it up and then forgot about it until I finished reading Eleanor & Park for my book club and was casting about for something new to read. In… Continue reading Book review: The Immortals

Book review: Eleanor & Park

September 2, 2017August 28, 2017 In Becky's HeadLeave a comment

After a good deal of thought, and after checking everyone would be happy to read some young adult fiction, S from my book club chose this book. This is one of the reasons I love my book club so much, I so often seem to end up reading things I would never have otherwise come… Continue reading Book review: Eleanor & Park

Book review: The Wages of Sin

August 27, 2017August 30, 2017 In Becky's Head5 Comments

I posted about the book launch for The Wages of Sin back in June. Despite devouring the text in under a week, I’m only just reviewing it now. Why? Because my backlog of reviews is ridiculous. Sorry.   First of all, how gorgeous is that book cover? I know, I know, you should never judge… Continue reading Book review: The Wages of Sin

Book review: Star of the Sea

August 20, 2017August 12, 2017 In Becky's Head4 Comments

It was way back in February that I won a bundle of books from SciFiNow through a Twitter competition that they were running. What with Christmas in December and my birthday in January, it meant that it took me a while to get around to opening any of them, especially since I was feeling that… Continue reading Book review: Star of the Sea

Book review: Bodies Are Where You Find Them

August 6, 2017July 30, 2017 In Becky's Head8 Comments

Who has seen Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang? Probably, for my money within the top 5 movies released in 2005. In the movie, two characters are fans of a pulp fiction novelist and the detective who features in the novels. These novels, and Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang itself, are loosely based on Bodies Are Where You Find… Continue reading Book review: Bodies Are Where You Find Them
