I will be thinking about this one for a long time to come. I did not know anyone else felt this way about books and authors and that magic of a book seeing you through (not YA but like the ones that the author writes 12 words a day for…) it’s almost too much, I

SO much fun! Loved everything about this! Such a great read! I love me a rural romance, and an avocado farm setting might just be my most favourite yet. Grumpy Cruz and Sunny Elora could not have more destined to be. I loved Fern’s second chance and adventure. Ate this one up like the most

The perfect commercial fiction. All the heart; people I know and love! All the issues; I knew Egypt was conservative, I didn’t really realise that’s the least of it…All the absolute compulsiveness of the plot (you’ll see…)Absolutely my book of the year, this is SO good! Sisterhood, womanhood, goddesshood…no spoilers from me because this is

You kind of have to do a Horse themed recommendations in August don’t you! I’ve has so much fun thinking about all the wonderful books there are where horses are featured! In the end I went with these, but goodness I could have picked out any Penelope Janu, The Horse, Sea Biscuit, Second Chance, War
This read like the breeziest summer time fun! Corn cooking, trips to the beach, berries and so much icecream…but it’s a novel that gives you so much to think about too!! Definitely a sister to Pinapple Street! Team Caroline ✊

It’s Maggie O’Farrell, you know it’s going to be beautiful, but I just have to say this is SO beautiful. Big life, love, grief and determination all wrapped up in the most beautiful love letter to land. Just as exquisite as you know it’s going to be, and almost heartbreaking in its scope. Poignant, empathetic
An accidental reread for me because I wanted to check something at the start hahaha I love this novel, all the quietly (and not so quiet) heroic women, the connection and real love and respect. Historical fiction done so perfectly. I loved it
