Book Review | PILGRIM by Carolyn Gillespie
My Review: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
As I listened, my own (solo) Camino experience flooded back. As I kept listening, I felt like CAMINO WANDERING had come to life, with Kari’s Study Girls replacing my own Lovelies. The idea made me laugh.
Book Review | THOSE PEOPLE by Louise Candlish

I REALLY struggled with this book. I wanted to like it. I really did, but… well, you’ll just have to read the review to know why I gave it one star.

Book Review | THE BOOKBINDER OF JERICHO by Pip Williams

Here are my favourite books for 2022. It was a year of literary surprises…
Books To Inspire Your Travels
Books can unlock the world to us. They can put us exactly in a time and place and explore surroundings along with the characters. Â We can almost taste what our characters are eating. Smell the flowers around them. Feel the pain of loss when they leave. I don’t know about you but after reading a great travel book, I’m ready to pack my bags!
