About Fiona
Dear Readers and Passers By,
I’d like to welcome new readers and welcome back the old, to my own little personal reading space on the Internet. My name is Fiona and I live on the south Coast of England. This is a non-specific book blog that follows my flights of fancy as I battle my mounting (ever rowing) TBR.
Some of my favourite authors are Haruki Murakami, Rose Tremain, Chris Bohjalian, Andrew Taylor, Diana Wynne Jones, Amitav Ghosh, Elizabeth Gaskell, Alexandre Dumas, and Barbara Kingsolver.
My top favourite books are Shogun by James Clavell and We, the Drowned by Carsten Jensen. Both of these books made me forget that a world existed outside, or anywhere. I shall forever remember my experiences reading these books.
I do not receive review copies of books. All the books you see here are either owned by me or borrowed from the library.
If you’d like to pop me a question, comment or complaint, please do so in the form provided below,
Thanks for stopping by,
Fiona
P.S.
I also have a film review blog called Popcorn Pictures if you’d like to check that out. As with this blog, it has no particular motive other then to review the varied bunch of films I happen to watch.
Glad to know you like Shogun. Ever since I was young (and I’m not that young now! lol), the book has been on my parent’s bookshelf for ages. I hope to read it soon. I too love Haruki Murakami. You got a great blog going on here.
Hi Jo, thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave so many comments. I’m sorry they ended up in my spam box though.
Ooooh, you must pick up Shogun it is so good. I feel little bubbles of excitement in my stomach just thinking about it actually. I’d love to re-read it one day and just breath in that world again. It is a surprisingly funny book too – amongst a lot of political wheedling, as it had me laughing really loudly on the bus home plenty of times. People must have thought I was crazy. Just a warning if you ever read it in public.
I have never heard such enthusiastic take on Shogun. I must read it this year!!
