Reviews and Suggestions on what to read and when whilst enjoying those lazy sea days on a cruise ship.
Any book that has the word 'Titanic' in it automatically gets my ears pricked up and eyes open as The Witterings of a Cruise Ship Reader just loves anything book wise that possibly involves a Ship. The Titanic is probably the most famous Ocean Liner in the world despite it not even completing its maiden … Continue reading The Titanic Secret by Clive Cussler
The Secretary by Renne Knight was the second book that I found whilst looking at books at Tampa Airport on my holiday that were in the American fiction chart. It wasn't until I actually started to read it that firstly I found it was a book set in the UK and secondly I found that … Continue reading The Secretary by Renee Knight
In early 2018 a book entitled 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz' by an unknown Kiwi author called Heather Morris was released.

When Stieg Larsson wrote 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and the two sequels to it, he wasn't to know that it would become a ground breaking novel that would sell millions of copies around the world, would have movie makers fighting to make versions of it and also spawn a number of subsequent sequels. … Continue reading The Girl Who Lived Twice by David Lagercrantz
'The Perfect Wife' is my third book by J P Delaney that I have read in the last two and a bit years. The First, 'The Girl Before' was a big smash hit and I enjoyed it, the second, 'Believe Me'
