Back again


It has been a long break but now I feel I have the time again to write something meaningful about the books I read. I will mostly concentrate on the English language books, so it is easier for you to find them as well. As always, get them at your local library. Use it! It needs your support.

First out is a love story straight from the Tower of London.
Who knew there could be so much unrequisted love at the Tower of London. An albatross that mate for life, the keeper of the meangeree who thought he mated for life, The Rev. Septimus Drew, the Ravenmaster, Valerie Jennings at the Tube's Office of Lost Property and Julia Stuart weave the stories together skillfully.
The subplot at the Lost Property Office at the Tube might contest for her second book, as the stories are as engaging and funny as the mainstory. It
wouldn't surprise me if half the things Stuart writes about actually got lost on the Tube for real.
