The Handmaid's Tale is a book that I received as a gift a long time ago, found a spot on my bookshelf for and then forgot about. That was, until the beginning of this year when I was looking through my books and making a list of the main ones that were on my unread list… Continue reading A book review: The Handmaid’s Tale

The book versus movie debate: The Woman in Black
I watched the film adaptation of The Woman in Black years ago. What compelled me to watch it was a mixture of loving horror films and complete intrigue as to how Daniel Radcliffe would tackle an adult role. Anyway, I watched the film and I didn't think about it again. It was one of those films that… Continue reading The book versus movie debate: The Woman in Black

There are two film adaptations, one was released in 1975 and the… Continue reading The book versus movie debate: The Stepford Wives
Real books versus e-books
In my last post I did a Book related Q and A and one of the questions that I answered was: 'Paperback, hardback or e-book?' I answered paperback, I didn't even need to think about it, I just knew straightaway. Anyway, that question stuck with me and got me thinking about real books versus e-books and… Continue reading Real books versus e-books
What 2018 taught me – a reflection post
So, I'm sitting here and feeling rather reflective as it edges ever nearer to the end of one year and the start of another.
