This appears to be like it but is completely different. It is a witty humorous tale of ‘Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson – from an introspective view.’ The stories are there, related even to real life authors such as John Buchan and his crime thriller ‘The 39 Steps’ involving spies and conspiracy theories. What binds the plots is the unique way in which Colin…

This page is exclusively for children’s books. Adults, read the reviews and remember your childhood books that stayed with you! Astrid Lindgren, A.A. Milne, E.B. White – just a few names you’ll no doubt recognise.

I feel strongly about opening up the wonderful world of books for children. If we can show children how fascinating, motivating and enchanting reading is we are already providing them with a better tomorrow!
A growing number of readers would like to read an audiobook - listen to it during a car drive or doing chores or perhaps just relaxing in a chair.

That’s why I also review audiobooks and hopefully, you will be interested. Read the audiobook reviews and get inspired!
