6 Degrees of Separation: From Beezus and Ramona to Detention premium
Welcome to Six Degrees of Separation, where we all start with the same book title and link it to six others in any random way our mind chooses to create connections. It’s fun and it’s free, so join in! This month the starting book is Beezus and Ramona, in honour of author Beverly Cleary, who died recently, […]

6 Degrees of Separation: The Casual Vacancy premium
Welcome back to Six Degrees of Separation, a literary meme created by Annabel Smith and Emma Chapman in which we link a book to six others in any way that comes to mind. This month begins with The Casual Vacancy by J K Rowling.

Summer Holiday Reading premium
In my previous post, Five Faves: Writers from the West, I shared the names of five books (and their writers) that I enjoyed this year. But there are so many more on my To Read list, and I seem to be adding titles faster than I can finish them. Here are just a few of those I hope […]
