There is a lot of sales out there right now and one place I love to see sales is bookshops . I have picked up a few new books and a few pre-loved books too.

Girl Reading  - Katie Ward is a perfect book for people who enjoy a book about books(if you know someone who might enjoy that kind of book you might want to put this into their Christmas stocking)

Josephine Cox -Journey's End is the story about a woman coming home after many years away and now looking for answers from her husband who she left behind.

Barbara Taylor Bradford-Voice of the heart is the story of two women and a man who they loved and lost. This one looks like a real page turner.There is 928 pages!!!!!! Yikes but she is such a wonderful storyteller I know it will be easy to stick with.

The Olive Season- Carol Drinkwater is a autobiographical book about the author's travels to France where she and her partner buy a house and Olive farm.This is the second book about the author's move to France.The first book is called The Olive Farm. I think I may save this book to read over the summer.

The Space between us-John MacKenna .This is the story about when a man loses his wife and has to raise their young daughter by himself. This looks like  a  really good read !!

 

The Secret Life of a Slummy Mummy by Fiona Neill is the story about Lucy Sweeney a mother who regularly does the school run in her p.j's. Think motherhood is glamorous ?? You might want to consider reading this before conceiving.Full of laugh out loud moments !!

Nell's Novel by Maeve Flanagan is the story about Nell who is a writer, teacher ,daydreamer... about to write a book or two.... I have a feeling this is going to be delightful!

A Woman Of Substance by Barbara Taylor Bradford is the story about a young kitchen maid who leaves Fairley hall 16,single and pregnant...Let the drama begin !!!

This really peeves off her daughter and as she is dating someone unsuitable she can hardly talk so this sounds like the perfect drama fix on a boring sat night.
