I open at the close and today, after 7 books and 7 months, we come to the end of the Harry Potter journey. We are back for the final time for the magical finale where wands are swapped, lives are lost, and Horcruxes take the ultimate beating. It's a dark whirlwind of cloak-and-dagger secrets—literally—and Dumbledore’s master plan from beyond the grave. A wand, a stone, and an invisibility cloak? Call it the wizarding world’s ultimate power trio!

Ep 73. "Moon Tiger" by Penelope Lively

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively is a clever, kaleidoscopic dive into the memories of Claudia Hampton. Weaving through time, it’s like history told by an unreliable yet fascinating narrator, blending love, war, and introspection. Lively’s writing is sharp and witty, offering both sweeping moments and intimate detail, all while blurring the lines between personal narrative and historical fact.
Painting: I painted a moon on a tiger, though there are no moons nor tigers.

Ep 71. “James Bond – Casino Royale” by Ian Fleming

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
The names Bond, James Bond. The introduction to one of literatures most famous spies. The man who smokes 70 cigarettes a day. A high-stakes game of words and cards, where James Bond, suave as a martini and sharp as a razor's edge, gambles his heart and lives on the turn of a card. A lyrical dance of danger, laced with tuxedos and treachery, this debut flickers like a baccarat table under the neon glint of espionage.
Painting: I painted a martini and a card from a deck of cards
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“James Bond – Casino Royale” by Ian Fleming
“Poirot investigates” by Agatha Christie

Ep 70. "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" by J.K. Rowling

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
Back again we go to Hogwarts for Harry’s 6th year of mayhem and madness. A novel in which so much is the same and yet there is a world of difference. The threatening tension from previous books of Voldemort is now realised and defined. And in that, a lifting of tension. We are free to indulge in the magically mundane and enjoy the final inbreath of calm, before the calamitous outbreath of the final chapter to come.
Painting: I painted the ring of Marvolo Gaunt
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince” by J.K.Rowling
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows’ by J.K. Rowling

The Novella. The Goldilocks length. Not too short, not too long, but that being said, a novella is tough to pull off. What is it that makes a good novella? Is it the length, the story, the characters? There might never be a correct answer to such a question – just a personal preference. Well, this week, tune in to hear about the 3 novellas I loved
Painting: I painted a leaf coming out of a book to represent one of the leaves from Leaf by Niggle

Ep 66. "Weyward" by Emilia Hart

To follow and support us, click here: http://anovelreviewpodcast.com
Where there is a Weyward there is a way. A novel about three women told through three stories threaded together by similar circumstances. Abuse of some sort and a connection to the natural world. Men labelled them as witches, but a name given to you is not a definition to who you are or who you have to become. Weyward is the story of women surviving against the oppression of men.
Painting: I painted a crow across a stormy night.
Some of the books and authors discussed in this episode include:
“Weyward” by Emilia Hart
“Everyone on this Train is a Suspect” by Benjamin Stevenson
