Book Reviews

‘The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - which you had thought special and particular to you. And now, here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out, and taken yours.’ Alan Bennett

“Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self.” ― Franz Kafka

Half a million...THANKS!

I just loaded up the blog to start writing a May round-up post and discovered that the total views has just passed 500,000! When I started I didn't really know if anyone else would read it and it was just a place for me to collate my little book reviews that I'd been doing for a couple of places such as newbooks magazine. It was brilliant when I started getting the occasional comment and I have 'found' many other avid readers far and wide through the blog. 

Though I haven't been able to update it as often in recent months, I am still here and keeping it going, and still reading and loving my books, and I'll be back with a review or two and some other bookish updates as and when I can. Writing reviews and other book related fun on the blog has really helped me at times when I've not felt very well and I'm glad I plucked up courage to start it when I did, after dithering about it and being very nervous.  In the meantime please visit the Reviews Directory A-Z page where you'll find around 300 book reviews to keep you going. 

Anyway I never expected to get this far so...

A massive thank you to everyone who has visited and read my book blog over the past four and a bit years, and to everyone who has supported me with it. 

THANK YOUTHANYOUTHANYOU!
