Unexpected Lessons in Love by Lucy Dillon

*I requested the opportunity to read Unexpected Lessons in Love via Netgalley. The decision to read it was my own, and this review forms my honest opinion. Blurb What happens when 'I do' turns into 'I don't know'? Jeannie always wanted to fall in love, and now she’s finally got the whirlwind romance she dreamed … Continue reading Unexpected Lessons in Love by Lucy Dillon →

On The Up by Alice O’Keeffe

Blurb By reading Style magazine, I was training myself not to want things. It was going quite well. I had already found that I did not want a pair of Yves Saint Laurent mules, a chandelier made from plastic antlers, or a diamond-encrusted necklace in the shape of a pineapple. I was still working on … Continue reading On The Up by Alice O’Keeffe →

Expectation by Anna Hope

Don't get me wrong, I love a good romance novel. The kind where two impossibly perfect people fall in love and live happily ever after. I don't care how 'unliterary' they are, sometimes it's lovely to kick back, knock back a glass of wine and escape into an idyllic world. But, then there is the … Continue reading Expectation by Anna Hope →

The Swap by Fiona Mitchell

Crikey! Where is the summer going? I'm drowning in writing my dissertation (which is currently at the 'I hate this' stage) and my reviews are backing up! To add to the pressure of study (and with the 6 weeks holiday looming!) we've also decided to sell our house and take on a renovation project. Historically, … Continue reading The Swap by Fiona Mitchell →

You’ll Never See Me Again by Lesley Pearse

I am a long time fan of Lesley Pearse, and to date there has only been one of her novels which hasn't quite hit the mark for me, which is a pretty impressive record bearing in mind this is her 27th novel! I was thrilled to be in the privileged position to be able to … Continue reading You’ll Never See Me Again by Lesley Pearse →

Spring at Taigh Fallon by Kirsty Ferry

I fell in love with Summer at Carrick Park last year, which as it turned out, was the first in Kirsty Ferry's new Tempest Sisters series. Then later in the year, both this novella, and her Christmas offering Watch For Me At Christmas both received a mention in my Top Reads of 2018 post, having … Continue reading Spring at Taigh Fallon by Kirsty Ferry →

Something To Tell You by Lucy Diamond

I only discovered Lucy Diamond last year when I read her novel, 'On a Beautiful Day' whilst on holiday. I enjoyed it immensely, and was thrilled to be approved via Netgalley to read her latest novel 'Something To Tell You'. What a whirlwind 'Something to Tell You' is! It's an incredible writer who can write … Continue reading Something To Tell You by Lucy Diamond →

The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton by Anstey Harris

Sometimes you read a book and you don't like it. Sometimes you read a book and you do like it, or even love it. And then there are the times when you read a book and it is everything you need at that precise moment in time. For me, The Truths and Triumphs of Grace … Continue reading The Truths and Triumphs of Grace Atherton by Anstey Harris →

Sight by Jessie Greengrass

'Wow' seems to be a wholly inadequate way to express how I feel about Sight, and yet it's pretty much all I had for at least an hour after closing the back cover. The concept is so simple: a woman considering whether or not she wishes to be a mother, revisiting her childhood and her … Continue reading Sight by Jessie Greengrass →

On a Beautiful Day by Lucy Diamond

This is the first of two books I read on my holiday (I was pretty impressed that I managed to get through two in a week as I had two kids under 5 in tow!). This was actually a last minute purchase as I chucked forgotten toiletries in the basket at the supermarket amidst my … Continue reading On a Beautiful Day by Lucy Diamond →

I was really pleased to be asked to join the #neglectedfaithfuls challenge started by @hook.me.a.book I’ve been keen to read Matt Cain for a while having read rave reviews for Albert Entwhistle from some fellow #bookstagrammers I’ve enjoyed my first #buddyread of the year with The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune. I was a HUGE fan of Friends, I’d watch it but tape it at the same time so I could watch it all over again, I owned all the videos and when videos died a death, I replaced them all on DVD, which still have pride of place on my shelves today. Even now, it’s a rare day when an episode doesn’t get put on the tv. I was invited to take part this year in a group where we all read our #neglectedfaithfuls - books by authors we love but have neglected, or books we’d love to read but have been languishing far too long in the TBR. Tonight at @therabbithole.brigg Reading Group, the first for 2023, we’ll be talking #wearethebrennans by @tracey_lange Happy publication day to @janice.hallett and the fantastic #themysteriouscaseofthealpertonangels This rather lovely journal from @lswmindcards turned up for me - a complete surprise and there was no note but I love it so thank you very much! Introducing my current obsession…..
