Reading takes me to other worlds. Other times and other places. When I am on holiday! August 28, 2016. When I’m on holiday with friends and family, I read less than when I am at home, but books and reading are still very much on my mind. I started the holiday by reading Perfect Daughter (No greater courage) by Amanda Prowse. Being his first novel! The Little Red Chairs by Edna O’Brien. August 26, 2016.

It is a fusing of Potter’s magical words with illustrations by the very talented Quentin Blake. The fourth select...

Reading takes me to other worlds. Other times and other places. The Art of Being Normal by Lisa Williamson. October 29, 2016. I know that there has been some criticism that the author is not transgender. I suppose the feeling being she can’t voice issues she has no personal experience of herself? But then how many thriller writers have murdered someone or stalked victims? I can understand how people feel, but Lisa Williamson has worked with transgender people and this gives some authority to her story.
