Tina Gamble I remember when was younger, I read Shannon Hale\’s novel, The Book of a Thousand Days. I loved that book. Her characters and setting were so alive and full of wonder; it was truly a pleasurable read. Not one to disappoint, Hale has done it again, with her new novel in The Books [...]
Diane Sexton I am not a fashion type, but I was immediately swept into Annie Valentine’s world of fashion by the clever way Carmen Reid opens each chapter of New York Valentine with a rundown of what one of the characters is wearing (and how much it cost).

Kristy McCormick I\’ve loved all the Monica McInerney books I\’ve read to date and I certainly didn\’t dislike this one, her latest.

Gracie Templeton is [...]

Diane Sexton You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me is Sarra Manning’s second adult novel.
