The Starboard Sea was sent to me for review by the publisher. It’s a coming of age story about a rich boy at a private school for those who need second chances. I’m not very far into it yet, so a bit early for any opinions.
Capitol Hell I was sent this one by the author. I hadn’t intended on reading it, because I’m not a chick-lit reader, but I fancied something light. It’s a sort of political The Devil Wears Prada.
Finished Last Week.
Painter of Silence follows a deaf and dumb man’s life through and after WW2 in Romania. The review will be out later this week.

Red Winter is a book I won from Lindsay @ The Little Reader Library. I seem to be having quite a lot of luck with giveaways recently! Red Winter is a sort of historical crime novel. After deserting the Red Army Kolya returns to his village only to find it deserted. What has happened to everyone?
I like the look of Starboard Sea…

Hi Rita. I thought so too. I’m not a big reader of crime but I do like historical fiction, so I’m hopeful for Red Winter.

Painter of Silence was a little disappointing actually, Elizabeth. Not enough to give up on but I expected better
