For the love of a Good Book

Book Reviews, recommendations and other book ramblings

If you are looking to escape, nothing beats a good book.

Looking for something good to read? Then you have come to the right place. I am no literary genius, I do not have any formal experience in the world of fiction, writing or publishing. I am an everyday reader who loves getting lost in a good story and then telling others about the great book I just finished reading.
