Paula Gilfillan's review of A House with Good Bones 4/5: I was very excited to find this novel in Lighthouse Books in Edinburgh because I've been scrabbling around trying to find UK print copies of Kingfisher's work for AGES. And it even had a cover qu...

Kingfisher has you guessing until a creepy as hell 'all is lost moment' that will have you sizing up rose bushes in the local park ... And there's the vultures too! Don't let Disney and Westerns give you the wrong impression about vultures - they are truly awesome. #deckyswritewithyou #tkingfisher

Paula Gilfillan's review of The Tenderness of Wolves 4/5: I loved this book so much, I read it twice. Female tropes are shoved out of the way, like clearing snow from a pathway with a shovel, and male tropes are ditched as if they were a rider on a buck...

'Female tropes are shoved out of the way, like clearing snow from a pathway with a shovel, and male tropes are ditched as if they were a rider on a bucking horse. If you love historical women's fiction with grit and creeping dread - then get this on your TBR shelf.' #deckyswritewithyou #stefpenney

Paula Gilfillan's review of The Girl with All the Gifts (The Girl With All the Gifts, #1) 4/5: So, if you've read any of my book reviews before, you've probably guessed that I'm, along with my cat, food centric. When I worked as a school librarian, I found food was a good analogy for rel...

Book Review: The Girl With All The Gifts.
'So lets get down to the food choice for this book - a curry. Sweet, spicy and utterly fulfilling. I will also say, this is the second time I've read this book, and like a good spag bol, the reheated version is always tastier.' #deckyswritewithyou

Paula Gilfillan's review of The New Hunger (Warm Bodies, #0.5) 5/5: Oh ... my ... goodness. Like a Kleenex tissue (other tissue makes are available), this small but might strong prequel to Warm Bodies, wiped my eager sweaty palms clean. I greedily consumed it whi...

'Marion is also perfect at realism: there are no frills or magical escapes for his characters - their fight for survival is messy, unpredictable and ... with no last minute rescue.' #deckyswritewithyou #issacmarion www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

What Does A Typical Scientist Look Like? 'I still remember my daughter's school friends asking me if I really was a scientist, and when I asked them what one looked like, they described funny grey hair, a lab coat ... and a man.' #deckyswritewithyou #thescousescientist

This book is like a great Scottish BBQ pack you get at the supermarket: filled with the staples of link sausages, bacon and burgers, but then maybe a random pepper and black pudding thrown in.
