Day One It’s Wednesday 18th March 2020, and the UK government has implemented the change where people, where appropriate, begin working from home.

Kindle TBR
The problem I have with Kindle is that I go crazy with “Kindle Unlimited” “Kindle Prime” and “Kindle 99p Sale”, and end up with a ton of books that I actually never end up reading and it just makes my Kindle library look untidy and chaotic. So, I’ve culled my library. I now have 32…
Audiobook Review – The Complete Chronicles of Narnia – BBC Radio 4 Adaptation
I love Narnia. I’ve loved it since my Dad read the books to me when I was younger. BBC radio 4 does such wonderful adaptations of books, that when I saw this, I knew I wanted to listen to it. I’ve already discovered that listening to the thriller books I love, gives me horrible nightmares,…

Crime Obsession Part 2
A continuation of my crime obsession ramble, it has come to my realization – and honestly, I don’t know how I didn’t notice before – that I have an abundance of crime novels in both my paperback and kindle library and now gravitate towards them when I am out shopping for books. I don’t necessarily…
Unexpected Turn of Events
So, I had minor surgery on Friday (27/09/2019) and stupidly didn’t think things through. I’ve only had long surgeries with general anaesthetic and didn’t make the connection that I’d be out for the count and out of work all Friday. I did however, expect to be back at work on Monday but I got signed…
