Hello! I am Lizzie, and my main joy in life is reading books and thinking about books! I have so many thoughts about each book I read so wanted a place to record these thoughts, and a place where others who are reading the same book as me can share their thoughts about it too. I’ve tried to write my (often lengthy!) reviews of books so it feels like I am chatting with you as we read the book together, comparing thoughts at the end of a chapter and ideas of where the plot and characters may end up, wondering why the author has written a character or scene in a particular way and what they may be subtly trying to tell us about that character or scene. So enjoy reading along with me, and please get in touch, I’d love to be able to discover more about a favourite book from your thoughts on it.

I rehomed this book from a family member who sadly died, as his books were going to go to a charity shop so I felt I had to choose some to keep myself (and when I say ‘some’, I obviously mean ‘many’!), particularly the books which I imagined were his favourite books, and I knew his favourite place to holiday was Scotland so I imagine he read this book often and had probably visited some of the places that Wainwright mentions. And seeing as I’m sitting at home with no prospect of a holiday in the near future, I thought I would ‘holiday’ for free via this book! Grab your copy and let’s read it together! Read the full review
