A Writer Named Christie
Three days until the end of January and I will have written a story every day for a month! Hopefully, there will have been a lot of variety. I will continue to endeavour to write something every day. Here's to three more days of January and to welcoming February in, the month of romance and extra days every so often.

Rachel Reviews: The Greater Good by Frank Sapienza
One of the joys of reading is that you are often presented with situations that you can only hope to imagine. They could be fantastical but they could also be based on real life scenarios. Some of these can be good but some of them can be the embodiment of your worst nightmare. Books provide a sample menu, I think, a bit like films, where you get a taste of a situation or a world and you can see if you like it or realise it's one you hope never to encounter in real life. Like The Terminator or Sophie's Choice as two excellent examples.

Rachel Reviews: The Locked Room by Elly Griffiths
I'd not heard of Ruth Galloway before and bought this book on a whim, but I'm glad that I did because it was another good police style mystery series. Set in Norfolk on the east coast of England, this book is a later one in a series so the characters are known to each other and there is history there of which readers of the other books will have awareness. However, I didn't find that not having read them hindered my reading of this book at all. Indeed, Griffiths rather helpfully provides a summary of the characters at the end of the book, which can be referred to ahead of the novel to fix the key players in your mind.
