More About Books

I am Catherine Larner, a journalist and presenter and avid reader of books! 

 

On my website www.moreaboutbooks.com I share all my book news, reviews, recommendations and details of author events and interviews and each week, on a Sunday evening, I write to everyone who has signed up to my mailing list, giving them the very latest information about anything and everything book related.

 

In my book lists below I have provided this week's recommendations, the latest books we're reading at my various book groups, and the past 12 months of my best books in fiction, non-fiction and children's titles.

 

My archive of book reviews is available at www.moreaboutbooks.com.
