Perfect read for troubling times

The Sentinel by Lee Child and Andrew Child

January 28, 2021 by enaj Mcbob Leave a Comment

The 26th book in the “Reacher” series, this is the first to be co-written by Lee Child and his brother Andrew Child.  Typically, I avoid fiction books where there are two authors.  I know some authors have now made a bit of a cottage industry of lending their names to books that may include characters they created, but they seem to have little participation from there on out.   I had read interviews with Mr. Child where he stated that he was too old to […]

A classic from my childhood

Each Peach Pear Plu,m by Janet & Allan Ahlberg

I was introduced to this book by my next door neighbour, whose son is 2 and has a nut-brown hare toy.  When my nephew was born last year, I bought him some books, and since I am currently unable to see him very often, I now read to him over facetime.  This was the first book we did, and I didn’t read it before-hand I just dived straight in. First impressions were not great.  For a book for small children there’s a lot of words […]
