Welcome to my personal book blog - Brown Flopsy's Book Burrow!!
I am mad about books in all their forms - paper books, e-books and audio books - they are all good to me!
I review books in their many forms - both new and old - and share the bookish love. You may also see me talking about books on Twitter and Instagram (@brownflopsy).
I always try to give honest reviews and the views expressed here are completely my own.

Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
Read July 2018.
Eleanor had an unconventional upbringing, to say the least, and she struggles with social interaction. She simply does not know how to say the right thing and tends to just come straight out with what she is thinking.
Eleanor is stuck in her own little world and thinks that she is absolutely fine.
Then Raymond enters her life, when he starts working in the IT department at her workplace. Raymond forces Eleanor to become involved in the lives of others, when he insists that she helps him to save an old man who has fallen over on the pavement.
From this day forward, Eleanor begins to see what this human interaction thing is all about. Her journey is not a smooth one, but her life will ultimately change for the better.
This is a lovely story about kindness and saving others from isolation. It is gentle, heart warming and beautifully written, and the relationship between Eleanor and Raymond is particularly touching.
