Non-Fiction (General) Round Up: August 2021
Hello Readers! For Non-Fiction in August there was: 6 reviews, 5 reviewers, and 6 books reviewed (2 poetry). The most prolific reviewer was Brona at Brona’s Books with 2 books reviewed. The most reviewed title this month was all of them! As each title was reviewed once. As always, click on the coloured quote from a review to be taken directly to it.

Speculative Fiction Round-up: August 2021

History Memoir and Biography Round Up: July 2021
The month of July brought us ten reviews of nine books – not a particularly high number, given that so many of us are in lockdown again, sometimes with more time on our hands than we might wish. Perhaps history, memoir and biography are not quite what we need at...
