Annotating Books…
Annotating books? Have you ever tried it? Give it a go! Annotating to me is when you get a highlighter in a fancy colour and is used to capture the attention of the book reader. Other ways of annotating books include; dog-earing, tabbing (small sticky notes), writing in the margins & underlining key words or phrases. It is a very common practice used by students to aid with revision but also it is also used by people who like to have notes on books such as book bloggers and reviewers. As you all know I am currently taking an A Level (in English Literature) and have recently discovered the joys of annotating books. Many people on blogs and…

[REVIEW] #ad Murder in Little Shendon – A.H. Richardson
A quick murder mystery that keeps you engaged This story starts with a murder of a village person, who is well known but not liked, set not long after WW2. The story progresses well and it is a cosy mystery which is easy to read. A. H Richardson is a good author who creates suspense well and some soft humour added to the story too. At under 300 pages, this book is nice and small and should be quick to read. Mr Hazlitt and Mr Brandon fill the storyline well by being amateur detectives. It is fun and light-hearted, plus their investigations into various character throughout the story are easy…

[REVIEW] #ad Vendetta – Jack McSparron
GIFTED* Mafia, Murder and drugs; all in one book? This book caught my eye when it came up on my bulk emails (linked to up and coming authors & review ebook copies) as an advertisement. So I grabbed it before it disappeared. This book is a quick read and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It took me just under 24 hours to completely finish this as it was so entertaining. The man character is a kick-ass woman called Maggie Black, who is incredible. Her partner in this book and part-time lover is Leon. I feel both have an interesting backstory which propelled the story on well. The story takes place mainly in…

[REVIEW] Harry Potter 1 (atPS) – J.K. Rowling
A boy a cupboard …who becomes a wizard. Harry Potter is a book close to my heart. I remember reading this book while still in Primary school for the reading hour. It is still as exciting as it was all those years ago. We start at the beginning with a young boy being ignored and basically feeling unwanted by his adopted parents after his real ones perish. we are given a brief idea about how important this boy is to the world he was not able to be brought up in. It follows average peoples lives via his aunt and uncle with their son Dudley. The drama doesn’t really pick up until…
