• Book Review : The Rule Breakers by Preeti Shenoy

  

  I would love to get a novel published one day. And the best way to make that dream come true is a) to get writing and b) to do a lot of reading. Reading ‘Rule Breakers’ was me doing ‘b’. Why Preeti Shenoy? Because, she is a veteran (not by age) in the field of […]

• I love Robbie’s Sir Chocolate series

  I have not read any of Robbie Cheadle’s Sir Chocolate Series book. But this review by Jacqui Murray makes me want to pick one of Robbie’s books for kids. I’ve read two books written by Robbie for adults or older children and I loved both. All those who have little children, this book sounds perfect […]

• Book Review: A Ghost And His Gold

• Book Review: No more Mulberries by Mary Smith

  

  I picked up the book in February after reading a review by Marje. However, I got down to reading the book only now after a month of NaPoWriMo (National Poetry Writing Month). If I were to give the review in one line, I would say , ‘No More Mulberries,’ by Mary Smith is a worthy […]
