I have now transferred all my book reviews from my two previous websites and added a few more recent ones. I’m pleased at the number of hits I’ve had on my reviews as I haven’t included them on the front page or in the RSS feed, so the hits are mainly driven by search engine traffic.
Since adding my reviews, the 14 most popular reviews I’ve written are:
1. Pay it forward by Catherine Ryan Hyde
2. Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
3. How clean is your house? by Kim Woodburn and Aggie MacKenzie
5. Deception on his mind by Elizabeth George
6. Hunting unicorns by Bella Pollen
7. Wideacre by Phillippa GregoryÂ
9. Beat stress and fatigue by Patrick Holford
9. Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
9. Tales from the secret annex by Anne Frank
9. The five people you meet in heaven by Mitch AlbomÂ
I am keen to write book reviews because it encourages me to think about the book and therefore helps me remember it, however I am out of practice. I often find I’ve been so engrossed in the book that I’ve forgotten to take notes and spend a lot of time afterwards flicking through the book afterwards to capture information. I am examining the style of my current reviews and thinking how I could write them so they are more helpful and also thinking about my process so I can write them as quickly as I read the books at time.
My name is Kate Davis and I'm working towards a happier and successful life and this blog follows my journey. I work almost full time as an environmental consultant and project manager and I'm the mother to a beautiful two year daughter.
