#Bookvent - Celebrating my top reads of 2025 My day twelve bookvent selection fits squarely into the category of 'books I didn't know I needed in my life until I read them'. Having heard the author speak about the book at Capital Crime, about the way in which the book created such an authentic portrayal that it had readers convinced the country that the author wrote about must be real, I really felt I needed to see what the book was all about.

Today I am sharing my thoughts on The Man With A Thousand Faces by Lex Noteboom. I heard the author speaking about his book at a panel at Capital Crime, and by the time the panel had finished, I was most definitely intrigued. I wanted to know more about his mysterious man, and about Kazichia, if only to see why so many people see so convinced it must be real.

Okay. Time needs to slow down now. How are we one week into July? This madness just cannot continue ... Or maybe it can. Can't stop the passage of time, right? All you can enjoy is enjoy what you've got while you've got it. This past weekend I attended a baby shower - not my usual doings by any stretch, but nice to celebrate the impending arrival of a future generation.
