the music shop

I was asked to review this by Lovereading.co.uk

beautiful book. So nostalgic although for me the late 80s seems like yesterday.

Frank with his record shop – remember these well and before CD and I pods. He is resisting CD and who would not as this was a dying age of the record. He can find music to suit the customer but what does Frank need then in walks Ilse Brauchmann then a story that the reader does not expect.

It portrays life then and is tinged with humour also

Lovely read and is due for publication July 2017 – so just in time for the great sun bed read expect a lot of sun tan cream on the pages and up there in the top ten shelf.

Total madness that works

I was asked to review this book by Librarything.com. This is a comical book, a little far fetched in places but that is what makes this a chuckle to read.

A salesman selling underwear from a suitcase to a encounter with a woman whose car had broken down -who maybe not as she seems, to being on the run from Russian spies to terrorists. This woman appears to empower him in his business.

they lose touch but strangely they meet up and it all becomes total madness again.

The writer writes well and writes a mad story that works and keeps the reader enthralled to the end.

Well recommended.

Enchanting

I was asked to review this enchanting book by Librarything.

What a lovely story for children and one of those stories boy given an old pair of Arabian shoes - the ones with the curled up toes. Of course the child is going to think what a load of rubbish- but he was wrong and thus begins adventures with interesting people along the way. These encounters have a moralistic story to tell.

I loved the fact this had a good intriguing story, things are not always as they seem.

Time is of the essence

I was asked to review this book by Librarything.com

I work full time and struggle with time, I always seem to be battling against the clock. So when asked to review this book -I thought this may help me.

the book gave me a background to the psychology - how we perceive time, how we can make time - can I be more organised - how do I cope when things are out of my control?
the author writes well and personally this gave me tips on how to literally make every second count - will that mean I can watch box sets - probably not as life is too short.
The book made me realise as I am contemplating less hours at work that time is precious and not as important as money (although helps too)

Recommended read and worth the time.
