Audio BookAs You Do...
ReviewI thought I'd take things easy while I listened to Richard Hammond reading his book on audio and just do a little bit of hand sewing! How wrong I was! The more I laughed at his antics the faster I sewed!! My friend's quilt is getting put together rather fast!

Shadows of the Workhouse
ReviewShadows of the Workhouse read by Anne Reid I have to say took me quite a while to get into, but only because I had enjoyed Stephanie Coles reading of Call the Midwife. Anne Reid's rendition is a lot more sombre but I think that this is because the story she has to tell is a lot more serious, and that is the effects of the workhouse on the children who were forced to go there. She does however do the various accents of the people i.e. Peggy and Frank, Jane, and Jo Cotter extremely well.

That's Another Story
Review'That's Another Story' is the brilliant autobiography by Julie Walters. It is very entertaining and had me laughing out loud quite a few times. With her brummy accent and sense of humour Julie Walters keeps you listening through all four discs without barely a stop for a loo or tea break. As an ex nurse she had me laughing out loud about her exploits when a woman died on her shift as a young nurse, and what the sister of the ward told her she must never do! It brought back some wonderful memories of my nursing in the 1960s.

A Double Dose of Horrid Henry
ReviewAnother marvelous selection of Horrid Henry Stories, written by Francessca Simon and read by Miranda Richardson. Henry really does know how to get up everyones nose, and really make them mad with him, but what would we do without these wonderful stories to laugh aboutand visualise when we hear them so expertly read by Miranda. How she does all the voices I just dont know.

Rebus Audio Box Set - The first 10 Stories
ReviewThis is a brilliant set of amazing discs covering the first 10 books on 32CD's. This set are read by two very well known people, James Macpherson and Bill Patterson. Both are fantastic at getting the stories across and doing the many voices that are needed for each book. Because they both come from north of the border, Bill from Glasgow and James from Edinburgh there is that rich gaelic tone to their voices which is so perfect for these stories written by one of Edinburgh's finest - Ian Rankin.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
ReviewCan one believe all the hype about 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo'? I think you can. I found it to be a story full of intrigue, twists and turns like a maze and off course a love story. The characters are well rounded and give you a feeling of satisfaction - in short a fantastic story leaving you wanting more.

Grizzly Tales - Gruesome Grown Ups part 1
ReviewJamie Rix is at it again with his Grizzley Tales - Gruesome Grown ups part 1. He starts with a fun warning asking you to hand in all scissors, compassess and comps with long handles, and if you need a life jacket and goggles go to disc 66.6! I didn't think we had got there yet with these wonderful discs! The reader of the tales is Rubert Degas who has a very, very spooky voice! He is so brilliant that I think these stories should be played on Halloween, they are great fun grizzley tales that won't hurt anyone.
