Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a hobbit-hole, and that means comfort.  Bilbo Baggins was a hobbit who wanted to be left alone in quiet comfort. But the wizard Gandalf came along with a band of homeless dwarves. Soon Bilbo was drawn into their quest, facing evil orcs, savage wolves, giant spiders, and worse unknown dangers. Finally, it was Bilbo-alone and unaided-who had to confront the great dragon Smaug, the terror of an entire countrysi...

 Jack the Ripper meets the madness of Crimson Peak. This novel is written like a classic tale, the characters are alive, and their backgrounds make justifications for their actions. This book is one of my best reads of 2021. Indeed, the historical fact clarifications were interesting as the story. The writing style and prose are strong yet delicate and sleek like precious silk. I am eager to read whatever is written by Mr Ayre. Hopefully, he will consider bringing back the main characters for more adventures. My fan cast goes to: 1. Orlando Bloom as Inspector Handy. 2. Charlie Hunnam as Dr Jarman. 3. Mia Wasikowska as Susannah. 4. Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain as The Villiers. Finally, Phrases to associate with this novel: early feminism and Sadomasochism

  What if the worst happens?  There is always a way to overcome worries.  This short picture book with its charming illustrations about worrying and finding a solution to stop worrying is better than millions of complicated self-help books. It is so frank and true about worrying and anxiety that it makes an adult like myself feel wonderful by reading it. I am an autistic adult who is going through deadlines and critiques for my work by my supervisor.  Of course, I am worried. Hence, this book is brilliant for everyone—adults and children alike. This wonderful book has given me a chance to focus on my actual visible worries and forget about the non-existing ones.  It is an outstanding book to find a solution and a way to differentiate between the illusion of anxiety and the actual one, with a solution for both.
