READS
RAISING A FAMILY AND RUNNING A BUSINESS DOESN’T ALWAYS LEAVE MUCH TIME FOR READING BOOKS, LET ALONE WRITING ONE, HOWEVER I RECENTLY SET MY SELF THE CHALLENGE TO READ 25 MORE BOOKS IN THE ROMANCE AND NEW ADULT FICTION CATEGORY TO GET A BETTER IDEA OF WHAT'S ALREADY ON THE SHELVES.

I started this on on a recommendation - I love a book recommendation.
So far, so good, although admittedly I'm
not that far in, but I definitely want to know how this one ends.
I HEART FOREVER
LINDSEY KELK
65%
I have laughed A LOT throughout this book, from the washing machine falling through the kitchen ceiling, to the constant comments on eating habits (which I can totally relate to) Definitely enjoying this!
FIRST LOVE
JAMES PATTERSON
100%
I finished this one in about three days. Since I'm a sucker for a girl getting her man, I couldn't put it down and despite plummeting towards a bittersweet ending from about the 85% mark, I really enjoyed it.
THE GIVER OF STARS
JOJO MOYES
1%
OK, so this one is only on 1% because I read the prologue in the bookshop and was intrigued in an instant. As you can see I'm a fan of having more than one book on the go at any time!
Watch this space!
OK, SO THIS ONE'S
NOT FICTION
20%
My husband bought this for me and so far it's been really insightful. For someoe who has no idea about how to 'break into publishing', it has been invaluable and I'm really enjoying learning about a world I previously knew nothing about!
THE LONGEST RIDE
NICHOLAS SPARKS
100%
Although I'm a Sparks fan, I hadn't read this one. I loved the format though, how the two time frames run in parallel and then cross paths right at the climax. I almost changed the entire format of my own book after reading this!
SHIPYARD GIRLS IN LOVE
NANCY REVELL
10%
With a military element to the book I've been working on, I wanted to try something with a similar theme. I'm hoping this is more than a 'beach read' and might give an insight into how other authors write about war.
THE END OF EVERYTHING
MEGAN ABBOTT
50%
I was instantly hooked. It wasn't what I was expecting but I'm devouring this book, written so far, through the eyes of a young girl. The insight is so clever and draws you in from the very first chapter.
