Rachel Reviews: What News on the Rialto? by Anthony R. Wildman
I am so glad that I discovered Anthony Wildman's books. They are a joy. Such an easy read and the perfect way to transport yourself if you are a fan of light historical fiction which is imaginative and well-realised, with good characters, convincing dialogue and which evoke the time in which they are set easily and with assurance.

Throwing Stones. Top Story - March 2025.
Millie Bobby Brown (Eleven from Stranger Things) talks on Instagram I don't know about you but at the moment, I am constantly questioning people's motivations for things. Is it a state of the world thing? Maybe. I think that it is also to do with a recent surge in my consumption of videos in the last couple of days after the debacle in the Oval Office. But that's another story.

Rachel Reviews: Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon
This book...where to start? It was moving, surprising, mythical, uplifting, desperate, callow, warm. It was a tour de force. It could simply be described as a book about friends but it is so much more than that and the imagination employed to create a book such as this is so rare! Lennon has created something which will stay under my skin for days to come.

A Break on the Moors
The voices had started from the time that she had got there. Melinda didn't believe in ghosts, thought it was a load of hokum, and she willed her brain to capture and hold on to a rational explanation. But there was none, becoming increasingly obvious, the longer she remained in the cottage.

Rachel Reviews: Musings by Phillip Bainbridge
The title of this book certainly serves to give the reader some idea of its content as it is a short book of short poems that takes us on a tour of the poet's thoughts, his musings. But don't let the comment on shortness draw anything away from what is contained here as it is quite a pleasant read and pleasant is vastly underrated in my opinion.

Simon and the Talisman of Time
It was the anniversary of his brother's disappearance. Although bright skies and warm sun were prevalent, his mood muted them to the palest grey. Simon wouldn't go to work today. He would let the darkness of the day envelope him.
