I created this site years ago as a home for longer versions of the book reviews I posted to Amazon and Goodreads. I’ve always reviewed the books I read, but felt the need for a little more freedom.
I have been an avid reader for as long as I can remember, and read a fairly even mix of fiction and non-fiction. Much of my reading has a historical connection – history being a lifelong passion – but I pick up many other things as well.
Although I still post reviews here, I now find myself wanting to write about other things. Visits to historic sites and museums, new places, anything that draws me. I am unlikely to tackle anything political or religious. Not because I don’t have opinions – I do – but because I simply don’t want the drama.
I’ve recently acquired a ‘proper’ camera again, after only using my phone for many years, and aim to add some of my pictures to the site. They may be nothing special to begin with, but we’ll see.
I’ve had health problems all my adult life, and you will see the odd post about living with chronic illness.
If all this sounds at all interesting, why not subscribe to my blog? You are free to unsubscribe at any time.
If you want to know a bit more about me, then why not take a look at the ‘About me …’ page, or just ask!
I currently live in Somerset in the UK.

I do not receive any payment or reward for the reviews I write, nor do I have any association with any publisher or author (other than myself!). I have, in the past, received free advance copies for review in other places. If a book is received under similar circumstances, I will state this clearly at the beginning of the review, and it will not stop me giving my honest opinion.
