This week’s Weekly Wednesday Blogging Challenge question is: which book, TV or movie characters would I invite to dinner? At first this sounds easy.

Books Set Near Where I Live
I’m a few days late to this particular Weekly Wednesday, but I couldn’t skip it because this week’s question is books set near where I live. And I live near Exeter, in Devon, which means there is one extremely obvious place to begin. 🐕 The Hound of the Baskervilles by …
One Sci-Fi Item or Ability I Wish Really Existed

Five Thing I Wish More Books Talked About
One of the joys of reading is finding those moments where a book seems to understand you – when a character thinks something you’ve always felt but never put into words, or when a plotline touches on a truth you didn’t even know you needed. But sometimes, you finish a …

One of the most unexpected perks (and occasional hazards!) of social media is just how easily it can influence your TBR pile.
