Reading is one of my favourite pastimes and has been ever since I was a child. Whenever I get the opportunity, I love to settle down on the sofa with a drink and a good book and get lost in a different world for a while. Each month, I'll be taking you through the books I've been loving and hopefully providing you with some much needed reading inspo for your own bookshelves. So, settle in my fellow book lovers, and let the book club session, BEGIN.
THE COTTAGE OF NEW BEGINNINGS BY SUZANNE SNOW
- This is the perfect cosy read- gentle, light and heart warming. Annie inherits her godmothers cottage in the charming village of Thorndale, and soon comes across the handsome estate owner Jon, whom despite having a rather frosty first encounter with him, it soon becomes clear that the village may be conspiring to bring them together.
- I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, and thanks to the beautiful descriptions from the author, it almost felt like I was there. The sense of community described by the author was something akin to a small village, and something not often seen in books nowadays. For a curl up on the sofa and a guaranteed happy ever after, this is perfect.
THE CORNISH CONFETTI AGENCY
- I love this first novel in 'The Cornish Confetti Agency' series, its witty, charming and come on, who doesn't want to be whisked away to the Cornish seaside for a few hours of escapism?
- Everyone who knows me knows I love Cornish set romance novels, and this didn't disappoint. Lexi is facing heartbreak and being fired almost instantaneously following the disastrous ending of her catwalk show, so flees to her childhood town of St Ives to look after her pals wedding agency. Cue drama, strange goings on and tantrums to rival the fashion industry. It had me on a rollercoaster of emotions, from laughing out loud to wanting to hug the main characters, and that to me, is all you need for a good book.
THE ROAD TRIP
- If you're looking for a book to make you laugh out loud from the offset, then this is for you. Being trapped in a rather small car with her overprotective sister, ex-boyfriend and his best mate for a 300 mile journey to their friends wedding is not how Addie thought she would be making her way to see her friend get wed- at all. This forces the two to confront their painful breakup and decide whether it really is the end of the road for them.
- I wasn't sure if I would enojy this book, but I found it very funny and actually sped through it so I could find out what happened. I loved the dynamic between Addie and Debs, and even though Marcus- Dylan's best friend was not a character I was particularly fond of, I thought the ending was perfect.
MY KIND OF HAPPY BY CATHY BRAMLEY
- I thought this book was fabulous, it captured me from the first page so much so that I didn't want to put it down! Fearne is trying to process the loss of her brother the year before the story begins, and while watching other people moving on with their lives, she realises her own life isn't making her quite as happy as she could be.
- Once she realises she wants to make her love of flowers a more central part of her life, she begins to discover what her kind of happy really is and this totally transforms her life. I loved how Cathy Bramley was able to create some really multi dimensional characters, even peppering in characters from previous novels to create a great sense of community.
