Views from the Home Library Reading Circle

Sharon, who runs the Doorstep Library Service (formerly the Housebound Library Service) has set up the Home Library Reading Circle as a way for her customers to give her feedback on the books, tapes and CDs they've been borrowing. It's also an opportunity for them to share opinions with each other. We'll be including some of their reviews every so often in this blog.



The Road to Nab End by William Woodruff
front cover of The Road to Nab End

"The story starts when the author was born in 1916 in Blackburn. It is about the cotton mills and is a very good read. As a local, you can relate to lots of the happenings. Very good."
Vera


"It was good to read a book about the North of England. It brought back a lot of happy memories. A good read."
Alan


"I agree with the other readers. 'Happy Memories' Easy to pick up and read."
B.


"A very interesting read. Difficult to put down. Full of memories, facts and family history. Well written, absorbing, easy to follow. A credit to the writer, truly gifted, who kept his eyes and ears open."
Sylvia


"Very realistic story of how things were. Reminded me of things my mother used to tell me when she was young."
Mrs. T.
