In the next few weeks I will be making a point of visiting my local cinema to see the latest adaptation of Jane Eyre starring Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender. What I’ve heard of it so far, particularly how it has been structured, with much of the early portion of the story told in flashbacks, […]

I know I’ve been in the big city for a while now, but I’m still in the phase of doing touristy London things – there’s just so much to see! Going to a West End show was one of the things missing from my list, so when I stumbled across some cheap tickets to Wicked […]
Last year we posted a blog about this image of a woman from a picture library that almost found her way on to one of Rachel Moore‘s books, and did get used on both the cover of The Island and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. These copycat covers were highlighted by Horace […]
What would you say was the mark of a good hotel? Excellent food? Impeccable service? A choice selection of reading material? I’m just back from a week off which included a few nights at the very comfortable Lake Country House Hotel, north of the Brecon Beacons. Tucked away in the countryside and replete with not […]
The new book KILL ME IF YOU CAN, co-written by Marshall Karp (author of the acclaimed Lomax & Biggs series) and James Patterson, has hit #1 on the New York Times Bestsellers List.

Today I have the pleasure of introducing a new blog by Jacqueline Winspear, the author of the acclaimed Maisie Dobbs mystery series. For those who are not familiar with her books, they are set in 1930s London, featuring the young psychologist and investigator Maisie, and infused with an emotional undercurrent, where the impact of the […]
My recent blog post about literary maps must have reawakened some very, very latent geographical interest, for as this week has progressed other maps have been coming to my attention. Firstly, Amazon released details of their reading hotspots around the UK, with Cambridge one town ranking very highly for them. I found that interesting when […]
We’re always a little excited when a new book comes in from the printers. It’s a bit like Christmas. The box arrives, everyone gathers round, there’s a hint of trepidation as the box gets opened (will we like what’s inside?) and then usually, luckily more often then not, there’s a collective “Oh, lovely – that […]
“So, as I fumbled through my backpack for something to eat, I found the US Declaration of Independence and had a lightbulb moment…” Last week, I came across an article on the Guardian website which caught my interest. Michael Hart, inventor of the e-book and founder of Project Gutenberg, died last Tuesday aged just 64. […]
The recent release of the new film adaptation of Jane Eyre got me thinking about women’s literature and its status in the twenty-first century. To be honest, I assumed that the majority of bestselling authors these days are men; I’ve certainly heard of more male crime writers, for instance. A quick look at The Bookseller‘s […]
It’s official: I’m looking forward to the Olympics. Not for the sporting events, of course. Or the chaos that will inevitably descend on London’s public transport. No, the reason for my anticipation lies in a more literary direction: the World Shakespeare Festival! I’m sure you’re thinking this has nothing to do with the Olympics. BBC […]
This summer I spent four weeks travelling through Peru and Bolivia. Everyone said how much they admired me for going on my own, but also expressed their worry for my safety. Yet when I got there, being alone wasn’t my main cause for concern. It was the fact that I’d finished the only book that […]
