I've followed the lives of Carly and her crew since the first in this series, and though I've enjoyed each of the books, I'd say this is definitely my favourite! Don't be fooled into thinking this is just a light-hearted fun romp across America taken by Carly, Carol, Jess and the inimitable Aunty Val. Shari... Continue Reading →
I've always said that Amanda Prowse has the uncanny ability to create characters that are so real that you feel like they're the kind of women you know. They're the women you're familiar with from seeing them pushing a trolley around your local grocery store, or at school pick-up or drop-off times. They're the ones... Continue Reading →
I know I've said this before, but I'm going to say it again: Kim Nash never fails to disappoint. This is her fourth book now, and every single one of them has been thoroughly enjoyable, all written with warmth and heart that they give you the feeling that you've just been given a big hug,...

Happy publication day to Emma Murray! And happy Day 1 of the Blog Tour for Time Out! I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

After having met the Nightingale family who are based in the Suffolk countryside, in the first two... Continue Reading →
The perfect follow on to the first book where we were introduced to the Nightingale family and their village life in the Suffolk countryside. In the first book, the focus was on Sam who owns a second-hand bookshop and this book moved on to his sister Polly and her delightful young son, Archie. Polly has... Continue Reading →
I absolutely adored this book and can't wait to read the rest of the series! First I was drawn in by the gorgeous cover, and once I'd settled in to read about Callie Logan and her re-location from bustling London to a cosy cottage in rural Suffolk - Owl Cottage in Newton St Clare, to...
