June Book Wish List

Taking a cue from my friend Emily over at theminimermaid.com, I'm putting together a wish list of books for the month and here it is....

London Belongs to Us by Sarra Manning. 
I've loved Sarra's books since I was 13 and I absolutely can't wait to go and buy this! It sounds like the perfect love letter to London, filled with the teenage love and angst that make her books sparkle. Review soon to come no doubt. 

Career of Evil by Robert Galbraith (sort of). 
I know this has been out a while, but I have to pace myself with crime books as they aren't my go to. Really looking forward to see what Strike does next. The last one, The Silk Worm, was a little bit close to home in the world of Literary Agencies, but I love Rowling's ability to keep me guessing (almost) to the end. 

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
I read Leigh's original series earlier this year and I've been told that Six of Crows packs ever more of a punch! I can't wait. 

Eligible by Curtis Sittenfeld. 
The lastest offering from the Austen Project this is the modern day retelling of Pride and Prejudice. So far each version has improved the last, with Sense and Sensibility by Joanna Trollope being my least favourite and Emma by Alexander McCall Smith sitting firmly in favourite position. Lets see what comes from the most famous of Austen's books.

The Cost of Living by Rachel Ward | Blog Tour

Publication - 21st September 2017 Rating - 5* Synopsis - After a young woman is brutally attacked on her way home from the local supermarket, checkout girl Bea is determined to find out who’s responsible. She enlists the help of Ant, the seemingly gormless new trainee – but can she really trust him? Customers and colleagues become suspects, secrets are uncovered, and while fear stalks the town, Bea risks losing the people she loves most.  I've been invited to post an extract from Rachel Ward's brilliant new cosy-crime novel The Cost of Living, published by Sandstone Press,   and I've chosen a brilliant scene set in the supermarket our heroes Ant and Bea work in. Rachel Ward brings her characters to life with humour and a brilliant eye for detail. My favourite crime novel of the year!!! Hope you guys enjoy it as much! By half past eight the store was well past the ‘What’s for tea?’ evening rush. There were a few stragglers late home from work and a cou...

Mr Darcy's Influence

Jane Austen is one of the most well known classic romance writers in the history of literature and because of this her novels have become a huge platform for writers and film makers. They have adapted, manipulated and on occasion just followed Austen's lead to create fun and often brilliant books, films and TV shows, and I think it's time I write about my favourites.  I've decided to write about this subject because I just finished  'Mr Darcy Unleashed'  by Teri Wilson. It's was an unreleased proof that I requested without putting much thought into it, but when I started reading I got sucked in to the world of Elizabeth and Darcy once again. Wilson has taken the bare bones of 'Pride and Prejudice' and used the basic plot line and wonderful characters for her own brilliant mix of cute puppies and brooding British aristocrats. Yes there were things that stuck out as not brilliant about this obvious piece of Chick Lit, and though they weren't bi...
