I really enjoyed Verity by Colleen Hoover. The blurb on the back of the book says that "It will keep you up all night, and a twist that will leave you reeling", which is incredibly accurate. Lowen Ashleigh, a writer who is struggling for money, accepts a life changing offer from Jeremy, the husband of …
‘Wild Waterways’ – Robert O’Leary
This 2025 publication by Robert O'Leary, subtitiled 'A Celebration of Life on an Irish River' is unusual as it is written in both Irish and English and explains how to identify some of the wildlife you might see on the River Dodder in Dublin. Robert is both an incredibly talented photographer and a dedicated teacher. …

‘Frankie’ – Graham Norton
The blurb on the back of this book, Norton's fifth novel, states "We all have a story to tell. We just need to find the right person to tell it to...", this is not only true for the main character this story is based around, but, for all of us. I always enjoy Norton's books, …

Graham Norton's brilliance shines through in this book which was released in April 2022, it is part of The Reading Agency Quick Reads series. I have now bought some other books in the Quick Read Series, as I enjoyed this book so much. The question is what happened to the man who disappeared from the …
Beyond the Wand – Tom Felton

‘The Ink Black Heart’ – Robert Galbraith
This is the sixth book in the Strike series by Robert Galbraith. I read this book in one day, I started in the morning and read until I fell asleep late in the night, it is impossible for me to read these books slowly and I always end up with a type of reading hangover …
‘The Storyteller’ – Dave Grohl
As a fan of Dave Grohl, this is a book that I have been looking forward to for years. I loved his Mothers book 'From Cradle to the Stage', and have always hoped that Dave Grohl would write a book like this. The author has managed to tell some of the lesser known or completely …
Polaroid Now
This is a different type of a book review, as it is about a photography book that is the result of artists using Polaroid cameras and film across the decades. I love photography and instant photography is one of my favourite types, so anytime I see anything Polaroid or Instax, I buy it. However, this …
