Good Night Gromit! (Wallace & Gromit Series)
Aardman

Simon & Schuster UK, 2005

Sleepy? Forget the telly---read Good Night Gromit!
Another board book in the Wallace and Gromit series and might I say its about time! I wanted to get my son interested in W & G and these books were just the trick! This book is cute, a little longer than the others, though it is by no means a novel. Adorable ...

Eat Caribbean
Virginia Burke

Simon & Schuster UK, 2005

Reminds me of home!!
I actually stubbled across this book at the Sangster Airport in Montego Bay Jamaica. After reading about Virginia Burke at the back of the book I realized that she also grew up in the same district as I did in Walkerswood JA. Now that I have a personal connection to ...
  
  











  



  
Vanilla Beans & Brodo: Real Life in the Hills of Tuscany
Isabella Dusi

Simon & Schuster UK, 2002

Quite enjoyable reading.
If you love all things Italian, you'll enjoy reading Isabella Dusi's "Vanilla Beans & Brodo". You will feel what it's like to live in a hill town in Tuscany. Isabella intersperses her everyday life in Motalcino with a little history of the area. It made me to want ...
  
  











  



  
Paula: My Story So Far
Paula Radcliffe

Simon & Schuster UK, 2005

Inspiring - and honest
Being a runner, I love reading about runners, and their stories. Paula Radcliffe comes across in this book with frank honesty. She doesn't sugarcoat it, and tells it straight. She comes across confident, but human, like just another person. Granted, she is an elite ...
  
  











  



  
The Lost Prophecies (Medieval Murderers)

Simon & Schuster UK, 2008

575 AD: A baby is washed up on the Irish coast and is taken to the nearest abbey. He grows up to become a scholar and a monk, but, in early adulthood, he appears to have become possessed, scribbling endless strange verses in Latin. When the Abbott tries to have him drowned, he disappears. Later, his scribblings turn up as the Book of Bran, his ...
  
  











  



  
House of Shadows (Medieval Murderers Group 3)
The Medieval Murderers

Simon & Schuster UK, 2007

House of Shadows The Medieval Murderers
I enjoy the multiple authors who wrote this book, as well as their previous books. I am looking forward to book four and have pre-ordered it. It is a nice change of pace from my usual choices. I do like history and mystery and historical fiction and this book ...

Crowner John at His Best
December 1194 and Crowner John is away from Exeter in his capacity as Coroner of all Devon. He is called to the remains of a shipwreck in Torbay, but not everything is as it seems. Bodies from the wreck have been found among the debris and some of them carry injuries ...
  
  











  



  
The Tinners Corpse (Crowner John Mysteries)
Bernard Knight

Simon & Schuster UK, 2001

12th Century Exeter
Fifth in the Crowner John de Wolfe series, this book details life in 1194 A.D., including, as always, a glossary at the beginning. In addition to reality of sights, sounds and smells, the author ensures the reader's sympathy with the all too human Crowner, despite his ...
  
  











  



  
The Sanctuary Seeker (Crowner John Mysteries)
Bernard Knight

Simon & Schuster UK, 2004

First in the Crowner John Series
Bernard Knight, or to give him his correct title, Professor Bernard Knight, CBE, was a pathologist to the Home office until 1980 when he was appointed Professor of Forensic Pathology at the University of Wales College of medicine, 1980. He has written the extremely ...
  
  











  



  
The Manor of Death (Crowner John Mysteries)
Bernard Knight

Simon & Schuster UK, 2008

A Must Have
I have enjoyed Bernard Knight's Crowner John Mysteries and could not wait for this latest in the series to come out in paper back. I pre-ordered it and it arrived late June. I was going to try and hold back so that I could savor his writing, but proved weak. And, am ...
  
  











  



  
Gromit's Busy Day (Wallace & Gromit Series)
Aardman

Simon & Schuster UK, 2005

Cracking book Gromit!
It is so difficult to find anything Wallace and Gromit here in the USA so I was excited when I saw these board books. I wanted a way to bring W and G into my sons life and this was a great way. The books are very simple, for infants maybe to the age of 2 but my son ...
  
  











  



  
Paradise
Liza Marklund

Simon & Schuster UK, 2004

Honest gritty portrayal of woman writer
I thought this was a very realistic intense book. I have enjoyed all of Marklund's book - they provide a birds-eye view of another culture. Even the meals in restaurants were deliciously described.
  
  











  



  
The Tainted Relic (Medieval Murderers Group 1)
The Medieval Murderers

Simon & Schuster UK, 2007

Unique Work
This is the first work in historical murder mystery I have ever seen with multiple authors writing on the same theme. While not all the authors meet the level of Jecks or Knight, the work as a whole still deserves 5 stars. You may not like parts of this "meal" but ...
  
  











  



  
The Grim Reaper (Crowner John Mysteries)
Bernard Knight

Simon & Schuster UK, 2002

Better and Better
Bernard Knight again produces an authentic period mystery in The Grim Reaper. Characters finely drawn, meaning the reader feels as if (s)he knows the people; settings so realistic the reader can almost see, smell and hear what is going on. In addition to all this is ...
