She was alone for most of the trip and I think she's in her mid to late forties. I just would not have confidence to do what she did, nor would I feel safe.

Luckily we had a good week weatherwise, this week would not have so great... I don't know Newquay that well but my daughter goes there with her son and partner, out of season, and enjoy it very much.<br /><br />More hours in the day would be excellent. Who do we apply to? :-)<br /><br />Elly Griffiths is an excellent author. I wouldn't recommend the sci-fi book to you but the non-fiction, French book, I would happily give to anyone as it was so readable and enjoyable.<br /><br />Margaret: Oddly enough RG's use of the present tense doesn't worry me but it does in other authors so I know what you mean. I think you might like Sleeping Giants as, like me, you have an eclectic taste in books.<br /><br />Penny: Sleeping Giants was interesting and really unusual and a quick enough read that you would feel you'd wasted your time if you weren't keen in the end. <br /><br />Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-57350216182234055512017-05-16T02:10:25.507+01:002017-05-16T02:10:25.507+01:00These all look interesting, Cath, but "Sleepi...These all look interesting, Cath, but "Sleeping Giants" has me curious and rather intrigued by the style of writing. I'm just starting to try to catch up on favorite blogs and so glad I started here with yours.

It sounds different and I like that - I'll look out for it.<br /><br />I'm behind with my review posts too - but then I usually am. Sometimes I just want to get on with reading the next book and sometimes 'real life' (holidays etc) just get in the way.

I hope that you had a great time in Corn...Hi Cath,<br /><br />I hope that you had a great time in Cornwall (what part did you visit?) and have come home good and relaxed.<br /><br />Cornwall is one of my favourite places, although we do tend to drive all over when we are down there and generally make good use of our National Trust membership into the bargain. We tend to base ourselves centrally around the Newquay area if we are with the family, as that is their preferred choice, however we would probably base ourselves somewhere much quieter if we were on our own.<br /><br />I am always a mile behind with my reviews and I am trying desperately to force myself into the routine of reviewing a book as soon as it is read. The trouble is, I then get further behind with my reading and more general posts. Let's face it, I just need more hours in the day!<br /><br />I have just about all the Elly Griffiths books marked as 'Want To Read', so this one is definitely on my radar, although I am not so sure about your other couple of choices.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and have a good week, despite the lousy weather forecast :)<br /><br />YvonneYvonne @ Fiction Books Reviewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821114534056290177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-12898393791965663932017-05-14T21:10:40.993+01:002017-05-14T21:10:40.993+01:00Sleeping Giants actually sounds kind of fascinatin...Sleeping Giants actually sounds kind of fascinating.
