Headline: Mystery Unveiled in Magdalen Nabb's "The Death of an Englishman"

In Florence's expatriate community, Marshal Salvatore Guarnaccia tackles the mysterious death of Robert in Magdalen Nabb's gripping novel. The story, set against the backdrop of Italy's picturesque city, weaves a complex tapestry of relationships and cultural clashes. As Guarnaccia meticulously unravels the threads of the murder, readers are immersed in a captivating exploration of crime, culture, and the challenges faced by those living abroad. Nabb's narrative prowess shines, making "The Death of an Englishman" a timeless blend of mystery and insightful commentary on the human experience.

Top Ten Tuesday – Childhood Favourites (Freebie)

Hi friends, I’ve decided to start up with Top Ten Tuesday, I used to do this every week on my old blog and I thought it would be nice to get back into it. This week’s topic is a freebie and I couldn’t think of my own topic, so I looked back at the list of past topics and decided to do Childhood Favourites. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl (more…)

Book Readers of Tumblr, I need your help!

I’m looking for recommendations of children’s books with positive/safe adult characters.

There are lots of lovely Mummy, Daddy & Baby picture books, but once you get to a reading age of about 8, all adults in fiction become cruel and scary, stupid and incompetent, or offstage due to death or capture. I’m looking for books which have positive grown-ups, as main characters or in the background. Stuff like Magdalene Nabb’s Josie Smith and Frank Cottrell-Boyce’s Cosmic. International titles welcome!

If you have any ideas please let me know, and please share this post!

books of your life!

I was tagged by @oleander4 to list a few books - thank you, as always!

childhood book: The Enchanted Horse by Magdalen Nabb. A short, kind of sad story about a girl and a wooden horse she finds in a shop that comes to life. I still occasionally read it every few years; I’m never throwing it out.

reading list: I really want to re-read the Lord of the Rings trilogy; it’s been a few years. But I have about 30 books on my bookshelf that I haven’t read yet so they take priority.

recently read: Dead Man’s Land by Robert Ryan. The first of the John Watson book series about his later life after him and Sherlock Holmes have given up their life of deduction and parted company. It’s set during WWI when he’s in the RAMC as a field doctor. Robert Ryan is an incredible author.

I’m tagging @naevery @lifeisjuicy92 @irrationalgame and anyone else who wants to do it!
