THE DANCE CURE by DR. PETER LOVATT

THE DANCE CURE by DR. PETER LOVATT
christine 2020 / Non Fiction / Self Help 5 July 2022 5 July 2022 Leave a comment

This is one interesting, happy-making read. If you love dance (as I do), if you are interested in a fun way to try and keep fit, or even if you are a non-dancer but interested in psychology, this book is for you. The author, Dr. Lovatt, is a former professional …

EXERCISED by DANIEL LIEBERMAN

EXERCISED by DANIEL LIEBERMAN
christine 2020 / American authors / Non Fiction / Reviews 23 December 2021 23 December 2021 Leave a comment

This is a book about exercise, without in the least being a book about how to exercise. This is not a “to do” book, but rather a fascinating exploration of the science and the biology behind exercise. In the writer’s own words: “…this book is as much for exercise enthusiasts …

OUT OF THIN AIR by MICHAEL CRAWLEY

OUT OF THIN AIR by MICHAEL CRAWLEY
christine 2020 / Africa / Ethiopia / Sport 30 May 2021 24 August 2021 Leave a comment

So there I was, power walking up and down my Delhi driveway (we are locked down, and not allowed out to exercise), listening to one of my favourite podcasts: Marathon Training Academy. It was a recent episode in which they were chatting with a British anthropologist who just happens to …

By way of a little background… In mid-December 2019, on my first walk outdoors after tearing the meniscus in my left knee, I decided to listen to a podcast from The Marathon Training Academy, hoping to inspire myself to recover and get my morale back. That day’s podcast featured a …

CAMINO WINDS by JOHN GRISHAM

CAMINO WINDS by JOHN GRISHAM
christine 2020 / American authors / Crime / Fiction / Thriller 10 December 2020 10 December 2020 4 Comments

Disclosure time. On our first outing to a bookshop since lockdown in March, I was quite clearly not concentrating properly. As I excitedly browsed real books, as opposed to online shopping, I thought I heard the bookshop owner say “The latest from John Grisham”. My husband heard “The latest Camino …

TROUBLED BLOOD by ROBERT GALBRAITH

TROUBLED BLOOD by ROBERT GALBRAITH
christine 2020 / Fiction / UK 28 November 2020 28 November 2020 1 comment

Initially thrilled by the sheer heft of the latest Cormoran Strike novel, which promised to be a bumper read, I was quickly disillusioned. It was long and repetitive and – oh gosh, dare I say it? – quite tedious. So much extraneous detail. So much background that we didn’t really …

MONGKOK STATION by JAKE NEEDHAM

MONGKOK STATION by JAKE NEEDHAM
christine 2020 / American authors / Asia / Far East / Hong Kong 10 November 2020 10 November 2020 Leave a comment

For those of you who might, inexplicably, not already be fans of the middle-aged, perpetually grumpy Samuel Tay, late of the Singapore CID – you’re in for a treat in Mr. Needham’s latest book. Although Sam is retired – he was pretty much eased out of the force – he …

THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB by RICHARD OSMAN

THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB by RICHARD OSMAN
christine 2020 / Fiction / UK 20 October 2020 20 October 2020 14 Comments

What a truly delightful book. Funny, clever, compassionate and an intriguing whodunnit. And set in an upmarket retirement village in Kent, of all places. Four friends, all senior citizens, meet once a week to look through old unsolved murder files, purloined by Penny, an original member of The Thursday Murder …

LOCKDOWN by PETER MAY

LOCKDOWN by PETER MAY
christine 2020 / Fiction / Thriller / UK 13 October 2020 13 October 2020 Leave a comment

This eerily prescient book about a pandemic that shuts down London has a fascinating back story. Peter May wrote the novel in 2005, but it was rejected by publishers as being too unrealistic. So Mr. May put it in his Dropbox and moved on to other projects. It was only …
