I really enjoyed it Gal. I have another of hers on order so am looking forward to that one coming.

My next book was supposed to be The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton but my friend has lent me a book called Walking with Sausage Dogs by Matt Whymann. It looks as though it is going to be great.

I listened to Guernsey Potato Peel Society sitting on a beach in Cornwall a couple of years ago Di and I absolutely loved it.

I've been across to the library today looking for another of hers and found several, but the synopses didn't inspire me as much as that so I didn't get them.

I have got Judy Finnegan's first novel, Eloise, and also Linda .Green's Things I Wish I'd Known. I really liked the last one of hers so am looking forward to this.

As an aside, I found LG on Twitter and followed her, purely to say how much I enjoyed the last book, she very kindly replied to me and suggested another of hers to read....I think it might have been this one :D (but will have to go back and check) ETA, no it wasn't this one, it was And then It Happened, ah well, next time maybe :lol:

I loved Eloise - which really surprised me as I didn't expect to. I struggled with Things I wish I'd known - not sure why . Just wasn't in reading mode when I read it I think.

I speed read The Guernsey Potato book. My stepmum lent me it when it only had two days left on the library ticket. Don't worry she said I'll renew it. Except she couldn't because it was on order for someone else. I have never read a book so fast. :lol:

I am not reading The Saving Graces today because it fell in th :cry: e bath last night so it is sunning itself on the balcony today :roll:

I think I'm going to give up on the Miranda book, I'm about 50 pages in. There's a lot of dialogue between herself and her 18 year old schoolgirl self and it's getting a bit old already :?

Made me decide I should be much braver when I'm writing ;)

Di, I only started it because my sister had sent it for me, it's not one I'd have picked off the shelf :?

Always worth a try, it could have been brilliant :)

Bb's now started the AM Homes, it will be interesting to see what he thinks :)

I need to get that AM Homes book. Joe bought me "This Book Will Save Your Life" for my birthday a few years ago, because it had donuts on the cover, and I loved it so much but I've not read anything else by her.
