Cecily's book reviews
In general I've written reviews of every book I've read since I joined GoodReads (RIP) in May 08, along with one or two I read prior to that. More recent reviews tend to be longer (sometimes a tad too long?).
I always carry a book, though I don't get as much time as I'd like to get engrossed - life is busy, but in a good way.
Too many of my favourite authors died without writing enough!
Apart from reading, and writing about reading, I enjoy Scrabble, good restaurants, woodland, and attending the theatre.
Mervyn Peake: Two Lives
This volume contains memoirs by Peake's widow and elder son, which I've reviewed separately:Maeve's book, "A World Away", 4*, http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/487563887
Sebastian's book, "A Child of Bliss", 2*, http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/487566193
Published completely separately, I've also reviewed daughter Clare's book, "Under a Canvas Sky" which would actually fit far better with Maeve's. I rated it 4*, http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/258608942
