Shopaholic and sister (by Sophie Kinsella)
(Amazon UK link)
I’m thoroughly enjoying rereading the ‘Shopaholic’ series by the late Sophie Kinsella. Undoubtedly ‘chick-lit’, with a heroine who has almost nothing in common with me, lifestyle-wise. And yet the author managed to create, in Becky Brandon, a thoroughly likeable young woman despite her addiction to shopping and general self-centredness. She can also be extremely generous, a

This is a thoughtful book that aims to help individuals get to the heart of what it means to be spiritual. It proposes stripping away, at least for a while, the trappings and symbols of organised religion, and letting go of our preconceived ideas, an

I wasn't expecting to like this much the first time I read it, but found it surprisingly readable, and even quite moving towards the end. The 'Shopaholic', Becky, may be a slight caricature, but she's a delightful person despite her unusual addiction ...more |

| ‘Upper Fourth at Malory Towers’ features the year in which Darrell and her classmates take the ‘school certificate’ exam - these books are old enough that they pre-date even O-levels - and are thus hard at work for most of the time.. except when they ...more | |

The story opens with a glimpse of a 'peeping tom' who runs away. This theme recurs through the book, leading to some arguments, some serious concern, and some anger. It's set in a village, over the course of two weeks in which we get involved in the ...more |

This is quite an exciting historical romance, set amongst the Greek and Turkish wars in the 1820s. There's intrigue, drama and suspense, with a lot of political asides that I mostly skimmed. There are strong and believable characters, particularly the ...more |

This is a very well-written book with a complex plot, involving an allegation made against an MP. It's not entirely clear-cut, and raises a lot of important issues. We had a very lively and thought-provoking discussion at our book group. It's a plot-b ...more |

| This story, 49th in the original editions, is one of the better ones, in my view. Len, Con and Margot Maynard are now sixteen. The book is about them primarily, in the context of a term that's filled with dramatic situations, mostly featuring one or ...more | |

Fictional anecdotes, Scriptural examples and well-written explanations - all about the ministry of encouragement, what that means, and how necessary it is in today's church. The book is fairly light, not too long, and, I thought, well worth reading. ...more |

I thoroughly enjoyed this light-hearted character-based novel about a family that didn't really get along. After the death of Nana, they had to live together for a week and take part in some unlikely activities.... Some caricatures, undoubtedly, but q ...more |

| An extremely well-written, gripping novel that's a sequel to 'The ice cream girls'. Set ten years later, mainly focussing on 24-year-old Verity and her relationship with Logan. Meticulous plotting as the timeframe moves forwards and backwards, mostly ...more | |
