Staff Reviews
Book Review: My Policeman
‘My Policeman’ follows the lives of Marion, Patrick and Tom as they navigate the consequences of queer love during an intolerant time.
Book Review: The Frugal Wizard’s Handbook for Surviving Medieval England
The setting is enjoyable, the plot is downright wild and I am in love with some of the concepts that Sanderson throws at the wall.
Book Review: House of Hollow
A chilling, twisted Young Adult fairy tale about 3 strange sisters uncovering the mystery of their past which might be best left forgotten.
Book Review: The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida
This is not just a story about solving a mystery: it’s a deeply personal exploration of life’s biggest questions.
