Rachel Reviews: What News on the Rialto? by Anthony R. Wildman
I am so glad that I discovered Anthony Wildman's books. They are a joy. Such an easy read and the perfect way to transport yourself if you are a fan of light historical fiction which is imaginative and well-realised, with good characters, convincing dialogue and which evoke the time in which they are set easily and with assurance.

Rachel Reviews: The Fool's Tale by Nicole Galland
The Fool's Tale is a book which is set in a mediaeval Welsh kingdom called Maelienydd in a time where borders were constantly under threat and the keeping of lands involved bargaining, truces, marriage pacts and inevitably, war.

Throwing Stones. Top Story - March 2025.
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Rachel Reviews: Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon
This book...where to start? It was moving, surprising, mythical, uplifting, desperate, callow, warm. It was a tour de force. It could simply be described as a book about friends but it is so much more than that and the imagination employed to create a book such as this is so rare! Lennon has created something which will stay under my skin for days to come.

A Break on the Moors
The voices had started from the time that she had got there. Melinda didn't believe in ghosts, thought it was a load of hokum, and she willed her brain to capture and hold on to a rational explanation. But there was none, becoming increasingly obvious, the longer she remained in the cottage.

Rachel Reviews: Musings by Phillip Bainbridge
The title of this book certainly serves to give the reader some idea of its content as it is a short book of short poems that takes us on a tour of the poet's thoughts, his musings. But don't let the comment on shortness draw anything away from what is contained here as it is quite a pleasant read and pleasant is vastly underrated in my opinion.
