March in Review {2025}

 Cycing at Waltham Abbey:  part of a busy month of exercise for London blogger Is This Mutton

Dear friends. We're now fully immersed in Spring and have even had some suitably mild weather.

My focus in March was mainly on cycling, as we're back in the routine of 3 rides a week. 

I did manage a few other activities, including a theatre trip, another colour club meet up, the Ideal Home Show, a massive clear out and a refurbishment of my home office.

Dear friends. Today's book spotlight is on a real tour de force. Both heart breaking and inspiring, Bare tells the story of Lorna Tucker, now a successful documentary maker, whose life spiralled into degradation on the streets of London. 

It's my turn on the blog tour for Bare by Lorna Tucker.

The Secretary by Deborah Lawrenson

 Discover a thrilling tale of espionage in 1950s Russia when a female British secretary is sent to unmask a rogue spy, at a time when women were expendable.

Dear friends. Today I'm on the blog tour for a book that's exciting on several levels, The Secretary by Deborah Lawrenson.

It's a thriller set in Moscow in the late 1950s, and centred, unusually, around a female "spy" at a time when they didn't officially exist.  It's based on the real-life diary of the author's mother.

March Books

 is This Mutton's book reviews for March 2025

Dear friends. Spring has arrived and with it a lot of exciting new books, most of which I read last year, thanks to NetGalley.

It's a superb array this month with something to tempt everyone. Those with an asterisk are books I bought myself.  Those without were sent to me as digital advance copies in return for an honest review.
