The Reading Shed

I've been an avid reader from the age of 3. Starting with the Janet & John books! Nowadays I like to sink my old teeth into a British Murder Thriller. I also love Contemporary Romantic Fiction too. Comedy, Biography, a bit of Romance ( nothing Mills & Boon though) I love reading in the early hours, when it's all quiet. I hate noise when I'm reading. I have a Romanian Rescue Dog who I adopted this year, she is an old lady and has always lived on the streets before coming to live with me. I adore all animals. I giggle a lot, and silly things leave my mouth before I've had time to think

A Family Holiday

A Family Holiday - Bella Osborne Thank you to Harper Collins Uk and Netgalley for allowing me to review this book.

I adored the cover, so clean and welcoming and the story really had me gripped too. I had a lump in my throat on numerous occasions, I laughed loudly at certain things too. In all this really was such an enjoyable read which really touched my heart.

Summer at Oyster Bay

Summer at Oyster Bay - Jenny  Hale @bookouture another #winner, Thank You & @jhaleauthor & @NetGalley for allowing me to review this book that at first reading of the title reminded me of my days watching " Home and Away" but thankfully Donald didn't show up!!

This was a loveable romantic book with a hint of humour but enough sand to get into ones flip flops. The characters were loveable and I felt I got to know them well.
This really was a wonderful "pick me up, don't put me down" book.

The Life of a Scilly Sergeant

The Life of a Scilly Sergeant - Colin  Taylor When I first saw the cover I just knew I had to read this book. Mad man zooming about on small bike, just my cuppa.
I really loved the day to day happenings of Colin's day. There are some very funny tales to tell and I laughed out loud.
I realise policing is a very serious matter and Colin seems THE man for the job.
A feel good read

Four Weddings and a Fiasco

Four Weddings and a Fiasco - Catherine Ferguson Thank you Harper Collins UK, Netgalley and Catherine Ferguson for allowing me to review this wonderful read.

I read it in one sitting in my garden with the sun beating down on me and it felt just right. It was Chicklit at its best and true escapism which I thoroughly enjoyed.
A Summer hit in my eyes

Everything Love Is

Everything Love Is - Claire  King Thank you to Bloomsbury UK, Claire King and Netgalley for allowing me to review this wonderful book
A heartfelt book that needs to be read. It is so lovingly written. It is so emotional

Miss You

Miss You - Kate Eberlen Thanks so much Pan MacMillan and Netgalley for allowing me to review thus upcoming #Summerread

I enjoyed the story of how the main characters kept almost meeting, of how we travelled to Florence, London and New York in this book.
There was happiness but sadness too. Tess and Gus sound great, and I was sad to close the final chapter on them.

An absolutely wonderful powerful memoir of true courage. Nothing more really can be said

A Year of Marvellous Ways

A Year of Marvellous Ways - Sarah Winman Thank You Headline and Netgalley for allowing me to review this book.
I was a bit confused reading this book and still cannot fathom it out. I had to keep re reading lines as its a very poetical book. The bits I understood I enjoyed but I felt rather bewildered if I'm honest

The Dress (Everyday Magic, #1)

The Dress (Everyday Magic, #1) - Sophie Nicholls Thank you Bonnier Publishing and Netgalley for allowing me to review thus book
The story is set in York, just up the road from my home, so I immediately felt at home inside the pages. It felt so magical and I adored the characters too. The book is well written and charming.

I adore the cover it looks so dainty.
