• Book Review: Re-Create & Celebrate by Cindy Georgakas

  

  I’m generally apprehensive about buying self-help books. Experience, I feel, is the best teacher. But then I saw Robbie Cheadle’s review of the book. And her line, ‘I am not a frequent reader of self-help books, but I have been following Cindy Georgakas’s lovely blog for some time now, and I knew she had some…

But with life getting in the way, I forgot all about the book after it was released. It was Sally Cronin’s post that…

• Book Review: He, She, and it- the grammar of marriage

  

  The book is an anthology of short stories. The interesting thing about anthologies centred around a theme, in this case, ‘Marriage’, is that you get as many different perspectives on the topic as the number of participating writers.
