Circaidy Gregory Review
by Booksy
This site is for readers who aspire
beyond this month's 100 fastsellers. If you want to try something new
and different, if you are fed up with seeing the same books in every
bookstore in the land, have a look around and see what other
readers have found.
And if you have read something
worth talking about which isn't on the shelves in your high street
please pass the news on. Don't tell us about Harry Potter, don't tell us
about The Da Vinci Code but if you know of a small press or little known
book that deserves more readers please register with us and tell the world about it.
The best review we receive every month will be featured on our home page
and its author will receive a £5 Earlyworks Press Book Voucher.

Miganium
by Ali Sparkes
|
This
is one tremendous adventure story from Ali Sparkes, author of the
famous Shapeshifter series published by OUP. Her regular followers
won’t need to be told that ‘Miganium’ is a book to get hold
of – they have been eagerly awaiting this title for some time

From
Kay Green's review:
'Merkicide' is as indie as you can get. This poetry pamphlet
produced by the author, Humphrey Hardy, has been assembled with
such obvious tongue-in-cheek enjoyment
...I started having fun while still reading the copyright page at
the front. Hardy makes several imaginative additions to the usual
litany of ways his work may or may not be copied or reproduced...
As for the poem
itself - There are many comic poetry pamphlets doing the rounds
and many of these gigglers are actually education in disguise. 'Merkicide'
is definitely one of those. The old saying 'many a true word is
spoken in jest' is still very much the way of it. If you are an
academic, a social worker or a historian, and you find yourself
dealing with just about any social or political issue affecting
the Liverpool area, there is lots to be gained by putting 'Merkicide'
on your reading list.
