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.
I review books and share the bookish love. You may also see me talking about books on Twitter (X), Instagram and Threads (@brownflopsy).
I always give honest reviews of the books I have enjoyed, and the views expressed here are completely my own.
I am also a member of, and admin for, the SquadPod Collective bloggers group.

The Martian by Andy Weir
Read April 2018.
This is one of my favourite books from 2018.
Having seen the film version, which is rather good, I was keen to see what the book was like.
I am happy to report that this is a great sci-fi novel, about an astronaut who accidentally gets left behind on Mars, after his fellow crew mates are forced to evacuate the planet during a huge storm. Everyone thinks that Mark Watney is dead and he has to use his botany and engineering skills to work out how to survive in very a hostile environment.
It is a thrilling read and contains so much more than the film - as usual. You become really attached to Mark Watney and his battle for survival, all alone, on Mars. There is a lot more science in the book too.
This is a brilliant space adventure.
