A pocket of my life

 Book 4 of 2026 is well on the way and I am so far loving it. Johnny be good is the first one a 2 and a half books, including 2 full books and a novella. The story starts off with a young girl, Meg getting the job that all her friends envy, a personal assistant to a hot, well known rock star, the only problem is she starts falling for him whilst on the job. With a mixture of humour, romance and all inbetween its certainly a book that I struggle to put down and that has me hooked already. I want to know more with the end of every chapter and feel the emotions that Meg is feeling through the story. I found out about this story from the short story book that Paige created called One perfect Christmas and other stories  and i was intrigued. If your looking for an easy read that makes you smile then this is the book for you.  Victoria x

My third book of 2026 has got me hooked, theatre and ghosts all in one story. As you know I am a huge theatre fan so this one really sits well with me. The book in question is ' When the curtain falls ' by Carrie Hope Fletcher, this is a story which tells two tales in one that intertwine. The first is of a stage hand, Walter, and an actress, Fawn, who fall in love but must not show it, their story ends in heartache and sorrow, the second is off two actors 70 years later falling in love whilst performing the same show as Fawn, the first time it has been shown since she played the part. Oscar and Olive grow close whilst performing but strange things start to happen around them. The book pulls you in, makes you feel there emotions and the atmosphere of the setting and makes you want to know more and feel so intwined in the story. This really has had me hooked from chapter one and I have been loving the build up to it all. The chapters will bounce from present day to 19...

Booked number 2 of 2024! I am a terribly slow reader but do love a good book to emerse myself with and this one is definitely one that I am enjoying. Promise me by Jill Mansell has had me hooked from page 1, it's a story of romance, loss and a cantankerous old man who you can't help but have a soft spot for. Lou is trying to cope with the loss of her husband and job finds a fresh start in the Cotswolds. Jill Mansell manages to captivate me with every book that I have read of her and I am intrigued to see how this story falls together. I love the fact that 'Promise me' is unpredictable and I have no real insight on how this story is going to end.  If you like a good romance that holds the heart then I would certainly check out anything by Jill Mansell.

A story from 3 sides, a story of love, loss and adventure, that's what you get with this beautiful novel from Giovanna Fletcher. I have been reading this book for around 2 weeks now and I'm around half way through (which is fast for me). I am so far loving the story and the way that it flows between characters with ease. Walking on Sunshine revolves around three main characters, Mike, Vicky and Zaza, and there families too, each chapter is dedicated to a different character and there perspective of what is happening within the scene.   Giovanna knows how to pull at your emotions with every book she writes and this one is no exception, I have laughed and cried so far and I'm sure there be more tears before the end. I would highly recommend if you love a romance / friendship story.
