Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

June 26, 2019
Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

I’ve been wanting to read this book for a pretty long time (Goodreads says I shelved this as ‘want to read’ in 2012!) but its size has put me off. So before I left for holiday, I decided to download this, thinking that it should last me the entire two weeks. Spoiler alert: it didn’t… Read More Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

Adventures on the High Teas by Stuart Maconie

June 17, 2019
Adventures on the High Teas Stuart Maconie

As a non-British person (although I’m from a former British colony), I must admit to not knowing much about Middle England, or even having much of an impression what it was. So it was pretty surprising to realise that I’ve visited, and even lived in, some of the places mentioned in Adventures on the High… Read More Adventures on the High Teas by Stuart Maconie

Evelina by Frances Burney

June 11, 2019
Evelina Frances Burney

I chanced upon this in the library, but the minute I saw that this book influenced none other than Jane Austen, I knew that I was going to read it. According to Jane Austen for Dummies (which is actually really informative), the three novels of France Burney “brought the comedy of manners – in which… Read More Evelina by Frances Burney

Over The Gate by Miss Read

June 9, 2019
Over the Gate by Miss Read

I’m finally back in the Fairacre series, and as usual, I wonder what kept me away for so long (probably the fact that this series is only found at the regional library branches). Over the Gate is about the stories told by various Fairacre residents to Miss Read as she goes about her job as… Read More Over The Gate by Miss Read

In the Land of Giants by Max Adams

April 10, 2019
In the Land of Giants Max Adams

I picked up this book on the basis of its subtitle “Journey through the dark ages”. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m currently listening to two history-related podcasts; one on the history of Britain and one on the history of the English language. The podcasts do go into the Middle Ages (I’m there right now) and… Read More In the Land of Giants by Max Adams

Daughter of the Wolf by Victoria Whitworth

March 26, 2019
Daughter of the Wolf by Victoria Whitworth Review

I’ve started reading my way through my book haul and I thought it would be fun to start with one of the novels. Daughter of the Wolf is set in Northumbria, before the Norman conquest. The book centers around Elfrun, daughter of Radmer of Donmouth. When Radmer is sent to Rome on behalf of his… Read More Daughter of the Wolf by Victoria Whitworth

A Lake District Grand Tour by Mike Carden

March 4, 2019
Lake District Grand Tour Mike Carden

I found this while browsing through the travel guides at the library and it sounded like a unique way to get to know the Lake District. The whole premise is that the writer and his son spend nine days cycling around the Lake District. It’s not a place that’s new to them, but it’s a… Read More A Lake District Grand Tour by Mike Carden

Miss Clare Remembers & Emily Davis by Miss Read

December 21, 2018

As Christmas approaches, I find that I want to read something cosy, like the Fairacre series by Miss Read. The next book in the series is Book 4 – Miss Clare Remembers – but for some reason, the library only has the copy where it’s bundled together with Book 8 – Emily Davis. Miss Clare… Read More Miss Clare Remembers & Emily Davis by Miss Read

(I Want to Revisit) Bath

December 13, 2018

Before we went on our trip last year, 10 days in England sounded like plenty to me. Until I realised the amount of ground we had to cover, which meant that we only got about half a day in each location (except for London). One of the places that I would love to visit in… Read More (I Want to Revisit) Bath

Cadbury World for Adults/Older Kids?

December 5, 2018

So a long long time ago, my family and I lived in England for like, a year. Just before we went back after twenty years for a holiday, we had a brief discussion about whether we should visit the Cadbury Chocolate Factory. My mom remembers it as mainly for little kids (my sister agreed, although… Read More Cadbury World for Adults/Older Kids?
