About Sherwood
The Book Smugglers : Book Review: SHERWOOD by Meagan Spooner (April 23, 2019)All things said, this was a delightful gender-flipped origin story, and I loved it very much. (Probably tied with No Good Deed as my favorite modern Robin Hood retelling.) Absolutely recommended.

About Hiking with Nietzsche

About Love Your Enemies
The New York Times : Healing the Divisions in Our Country (April 08, 2019)Mencken would probably have dismissed Brooks as a sentimentalist — “an evangelist,” in Mencken’s scornful term. A useful and welcome evangelist, I’d say.

About Unspeakable
The Guardian : Unspeakable: The Things We Cannot Say by Harriet Shawcross – review (February 24, 2019)Shawcross can certainly write – there are some lovely images in Unspeakable – and she is obviously in possession of a curious and interesting mind.

About The Little Snake
The Guardian : The Little Snake by AL Kennedy review – charming lessons in life, death and kindness (January 13, 2019)What The Little Snake is about more than anything, though, is the acceptance of death as an ineluctable part of life. It’s not a new message, but Kennedy conveys it here in a manner that is subtle and hugely moving.
