Lindsay Kelk: I Heart London

Hey guys,

Picked up this little gem in a charity shop, basically heaven for a book lover with no clue what to read..

Anyway, picked this one up and it is amazing! Such a talented author and a well written story. Lindsay takes a simple story and moulded it into one which, literally blew my mind. 

The main character Angela, is so easy to identify with, in more ways that one (a fellow writer and accident prone clutz). But it's her relationships, she has with the people in her life which are very honest and such a picture of 'everyday' life.

She has a troublesome ex, crazy friends, work drama's, interesting relationships with her parents and not to mention, an absolute Adonis for a fiancé. Something which I can identify with completely, well almost, no fiancé here, one very lovely boyfriend though. :)

Anyway, it turns out that 'I Heart London' is the final book in a series, it begins with 'I Heart New York'. It follows Angela on her journey from London to New York and the life she makes for herself there.

From what I can gather, yep brief overview time, she fleas to New York, after finding her boyfriend of eight years boinking someone else on the day of her best friends wedding, ends up getting on a plane to New York and gets up to all sorts across the Atlantic!


When she is then forced to go back to London, she has a very serious work presentation to deal with, as well as an impromptu wedding to plan, a new baby to meet (her British BFF's Louisa's new bundle) and a shit storm to survive from her mother and horrible ex, Mark!

This book is a whirlwind of ups and downs, but it is hilarious in it's descriptions, portrayals of events and relationships with have your head spinning and your abs aching.

I read this is over 36 hours, even waking up early slightly hungover to read it, only to wake-up, my also slightly hungover boyfriend, Scott with my laughter... and as you don't know my laugh.. It's pretttyyyy loud. Oh well!

Point is, get this book! It's quite breathtaking and I am fully going to invest in the rest of the series ASAP!

Hope to love it too!

Jane Casey: Maeve Kerrigan Series

Hey guys, I hope you're all well. I've just finished my Journalism course, (exam wise anyway) I'm just waiting on results. Ahhhhh.. As a wee treat to myself and much to Scott's dismay I bought myself the rest of Jane Casey's Maeve Kerrigan books, including the newest one. Thought I might as well as I loved The Kill which is the 5th book in the series, if memory serves me right and I got so invested in the characters I just had to know more about them. Beginning with The Burning which is roughly about a nasty serial killer targeting young women. His trademark is the fact he then burns his victims making identifying them and him more difficult. The 'first' one we come across as a live crime scene is one that they are not sure if this victim was murdered by the Burning Man. This leads Maeve down a different route trying to discover if this victim is one of the serial killers victims OR if its an entirely different case entirely. In this book we see the bir...

Katerina Diamond: The Teacher

Hey everyone, I hope you all are well. Yeah I suck at regular posts but I'm getting there. Recently it's hard to find the time to read, awk well. I'll get there! Very happy with this book haul. Thank you Amazon! I've even another batch ordered and hopefully will be delivered this week! Can't wait. It really is the simple things in life. I usually pick books either on reviews or from the suggestion section on Amazon. And this is what I've based my last couple of book buys on.  Can honestly say this book was a lot darker than I was expecting. I thought from the description that it was about a suicide and the events that lead up to it. However, that's really not what the book it about. It's told from about three perspectives, Abbey, Parker and DS Adrian Miles.  Abbeys' story is told through flashbacks to her past and her work life, Parker is a new intern at the museum where Abbey works and DS Miles is one of the detectives on the case of the...

Catherine King: Her mother's secret

Hey guys, another post so soon? I know I'm spoiling you ;) Finally got my mojo back and it's nice to be writing again. This book was given to me by my mommabear. It's more her type of book, I'm funny when I see certain covers, no idea why just am. I think it's probably because I know they're my mums type of book if that makes any sense? This book is actually really good. It's got love, scandal, social hierarchy and for a while we're concerned the past is doomed to repeat itself. The story begins with a scene from the past, Ruth Hargreaves is a beautiful, young woman ready for her first party with the upper class. The master of the house takes a fancy to her and forces himself upon her. This however, is not the worst betrayal of Ruth's trust. Her father, Seth makes a deal with Lord Laughton in which he forced Ruth to be his mistress in exchange for a higher position within the Laughton household. There is more to it here, but I'll let you fi...
