Story
Hello to you, I am with news. I have a new book: I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You. I know – what an intriguing title! Basically, I have had an unexpectedly difficult decade – there have been surprising joys but also deep revelations and challenging lows. I shall be honest about those, because what I discovered in the difficult times were my, what I call, treasures.

Reviewed: 20-10-24
Liked the story, but it was a bit far fetched. I wish Joy would stop referring to female police officers as WPC's. They have been PC's for over 20 years.

I loves this book. It makes you think about what a person from the past would make of the future. Cleverly done, a day at a time.

Rugby league legend Rob Burrow’s memoir will be one of the most inspirational books you’ll ever listen to. It will move you to tears and make you laugh. It will make you angry at the unfairness and cruelty of life. It will make you marvel at the fortitude and limits of the human spirit. And, like all the best books, perhaps it will make you reassess your own approach to living.

Rob, you have done so much to bring NMD to the general public's awareness. This book is a true inspiration. For those who are small, don't take no for an answer. For those that love rugby, you don't have to be a big boozer. For those who are diagnosed with NMD, you can still do so much. ĺ

Another fine book
Reviewed: 05-06-24
I really enjoyed this book. Although it is a work of fiction, I feel that it shows what life was like for so many women during the 16th Century. Having next to no legal rights and having to do as they were told by male family members, a woman had very little control of their own destiny.

Story
For many years, Camilla was portrayed in a poor light, blamed by the public for the break-up of the marriage between Prince Charles and Lady Diana. Initially, the Queen refused to see or speak to her, but, since the death of Prince Philip, the Duchess has become one of the Queen's closest companions. Her confidence in Camilla and the transformation she has seen in Prince Charles since their wedding resulted in her choosing the first day of her Platinum Jubilee year to tell the world that she wants Camilla to be Queen Consort not the demeaning Princess Consort suggested in 2005.

Fair assessment of a lady who married the wrong man
Reviewed: 16-05-24
I've been a fan of Camilla for some time. I always felt that the media have judged her harshly. This book suggests that my feelings were right. If only the Queen Mother, Louis Mountbatten and Diana's grandmother had let nature take it's course this is could have been very different.

When the misanthropic Dr Miriam Price wakes up dead, her day has only just started to go wrong. With everyone mistakenly thinking she killed herself, she's condemned to half a century in Limbo as a 'Death By Misadventure' - unless she can prove that she was murdered. Unable to communicate with anyone living, Miriam's investigative options look decidedly limited.

In 1989, a young Michael Ball landed the lead role in the musical Aspects of Love. It was a moment that changed his life forever. It was the first time he worked with legends of the stage like Andrew Lloyd Webber and Trevor Nunn; it was from that show that came his smash hit song, Love Changes Everything, which rode high in the charts for 15 weeks; it was then, also, that he first met his long-term partner Cathy McGowan and battled back against the stage fright that had threatened his career.

Story
England, 1455 - King Henry VI is proving to be an unstable monarch, prone to bouts of mysterious illness and susceptible to manipulation from others. Richard of York, the most powerful magnate in the land, steps in to manage affairs whilst Henry is unwell. Many people prefer York's rule, which does not please the queen. The country begins to divide and plots start to hatch. York himself is directly descended from the royal family line, in fact, a little more directly than Henry, but he puts this fact aside and strives only to serve the king.
