I never contact people offering books for review. To do so is at best bad manners; at worst it is spamming. In any case, I interact with people on this site as a fellow-reader at least as much as a writer, and I'd like to keep it that way.

But as I writer, I do need readers' reviews. I will be pleased to send e-copies to anyone genuinely interested in doing an honest review of one or more of these books. If you get one and then decide not to review it, that's also fine. If you do upload a review to Amazon, Goodreads or any other site or retailer, that will be great. Three are fiction, two travel and one is a polemic.

Send me a message via Goodreads, or my Facebook author page at https://www.facebook.com/mikerobbinsNYC. State which file format you'd like (PDF, EPUB or MOBI).

These are the titles:

The Lost Baggage of Silvia Guzmán






Dog!: You'll Never Look At Your Dog the Same Way Again. Also available in Spanish as ¡Perro!






The Nine Horizons: Travels in Sundry Places






Three Seasons: Three Stories of England in the Eighties






Even the Dead Are Coming






Such Little Accident: British Democracy and Its Enemies





Thank you, everyone; and whatever you are reading right now, I hope that you are enjoying it.

Best
Mike

Reading, and enjoying, two fine books by Diana Athill. To whom happy 101st birthday. https://mikerobbinsnyc.blogspot.com/2...

Saddened by the passing of Diana Athill - who I wrote about only a few weeks ago, including an appreciation of her books Instead of a Letter: A Memoir and Stet: An Editor's Life.

Rumer Godden was one of the most successful writers of her lifetime. Several of her novels, including Black Narcissus and The River, became successful films. But some of her best work is not fiction at all. Her memoirs of India are drenched with light and colour; and now they have been reissued by an enterprising Indian publisher, Speaking Tiger.

An appreciation of some really beautiful writing:
