Review – Not Your Idol, Vol. 1
Insight into the aftermath of the assault of an idol and how she’s been affected. Vol 1 didn’t quite deliver on the backstory and it feels like not a lot has happened or been explained

The Island of Animaux by Milo McGivern is a lovely book. Tried to hold off until it’s published in May 2020 but too intriguing. Mysterious island, incorrigible and amiable animals, fantastic tales. One not to miss.
The Missing Diamonds was an engaging mystery, which avoided being one dimensional with great writing, and an appreciation (but not blinkered focus) on the target audience.
The premise of The Last Smile in Sunder City is good: A land where magical creatures (dwarves, goblins, gremlins, vampires, witches, you get the idea) are left redundant in reduced circumstances: without their magic, the fundamental part of themselves.
I liked the sound of it as soon as I read the synopsis, so a shame it didn’t quite hit the spot.
As the February’s Newsletter hinted at, January started slow. It wasn’t until the tail end of week two that I really started to get into my reading groove. Most were entertaining, a few were trying, so a mixed bag. Ultimately rewarding rather than disappointing month
February is Science Fiction month…mostly. I’ve gone to my backlist and will be rereading classics that I’ve ignored for far too long. Take a peek to see what I’ve got in store
Listening to the audiobook I was uncertain if it was the tone of the narrator or the actual words which made Enola (the teen detective) sound condescending and imperious rather than experienced and thoughtful.
I enjoyed reading Mastering Small Business Employee Engagement it was crammed with useful insights, anecdotes and information gleaned from the authors’ SME
I’m still at a loss for words to sum up this book which is a rich, lyrical retelling of two Greek myths. I am glad that I read it, but it was a difficult read on a number of levels. It was enthralling and harrowing in equal measure. Not for the faint hearted.
The lure of the local library’s for sale trolley keeps me from sticking to the goal of a small bookshelf
