Review: PostSecret

March 15, 2009

I have to say, there’s nothing I love more on a Sunday than a big mug of tea and PostSecret. Yes it’s been around a while, I’m late to the party. I love art, and I love psychology. PostSecret is these combined, we say art is an expression of a feeling or emotion, these postcards […]

The Post-Uni Book Binge

November 28, 2008

Everyone told me it would happen, and it did (as evidenced on the reviews page – most of those are after I finished all my work, or as I was finishing). I’ve been stuck on fiction for months, mostly the Kathy Reichs series. I’m now up to the latest book and awaiting a copy at […]

Review: Julius

November 15, 2008

2/5 I’ve read a lot of DuMaurier books and loved them all. This one was somewhat different, and while it had her characteristic twists and turns, I just didn’t enjoy it like I have her other books. Julius is the story of a young boy, working his way from rags to riches, anyone who gets […]

Review: Fatal Voyage

This book brought me back to what I was beginning to like about the series. Mystery, intrigue. This time it was Brennan herself in trouble instead of a friend or family member, and I don’t recall an “I wish this…” moment, which is good, because I for some reason found those annoying. I enjoyed her […]

Review: Deadly Decisions Kathy Reichs

Review: The Woman in White – Wilkie Colins

5/5 I’d consider this book to be the original kind of crime fiction – only much better written, much more interesting, and with far more class. A story of love, hardship and some really unexpected twists and turns, this is one of my favourite books of all time.

Review: Death Du Jour

July 5, 2008

4/5 Death Du Jour is the second in the “Bones” series by Kathy Reichs, this book picks up some while after the first book, Deja Dead. Phorensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan is again facing a killer who may be targeting someone close to her. Touching on the issue of “cults”, mass hysteria and ritualistic killing, Death […]

Review: Deja Dead

June 10, 2008

3.5/5 Well it’s no secret I love Bones. I thought I’d try the books. Picked this one up as a treat. Found the next one in a charity shop for cheaps. It’s not bad. The titles leave a lot to be desired, but the content is good. I was unsure about the first person stance […]

Review: Burton on Burton

June 8, 2008

4/5 I forgot to review this, I read it a week or two ago. It’s been on my bookshelf for about a year. Finally starting to get through them all. There’s a lot I’m really excited about reading, particularly some my uncle got me.

Review: Women in Love

April 23, 2008

2/5 I don’t know where to start with this book. I’ve not read ‘The Rainbow’, nor have I ever read any other D. H. Lawrence books, so I had no expectations or frame of reference. I picked it up for £1.50 about three years ago and read about three pages while I was waiting at […]

Review: Designers are wankers

April 16, 2008

I read this one in full and it was pretty interesting stuff. Like ‘How to be a graphic designer without losing your soul’ it has lots of tips and things you can expect entering the design world. It has case studies and interviews and McCormack has some good life experience to share. Well worth picking […]
