In Brief: Recommended Reads

Here’s a couple of recent terrific reads that I highly recommend.

From Now Until Forever by Rowan Coleman

Absolutely devoured the latest release by @rowanmcoleman From Now Until Forever. I adore this quote, which also encapsulates the heart of this gorgeous, uniquely brilliant story.

‘Leonardo hid so many of his secrets in his artwork. My very last hope is that he hid the secret to setting me free inside the image he painted of me, an immortal woman, looking for a way to die on the day she meets a dying man who only wants to live.’

Five stars to this one. Rowan is incomparable and I love everything she writes.

Would You Rather by Maggie Alderson

Another weekend spent with the right book! Would You Rather by Maggie Alderson is not out until December but I couldn’t resist sinking into my #arc sooner rather than later. Thanks so much to @harpercollinsaustralia for the #bookreviewer copy!

‘He destroyed me emotionally and then he got killed. So I don’t know what I am, Charlie. Am I an abandoned wife or am I a poor grieving widow?’

I really enjoyed this upcoming release by Maggie Alderson, it ticked all the right boxes for me. It’s a great big book about life, love, marriage, family, grief, anger, and new beginnings.

Highly recommended for book clubs as there is A LOT to dish about with this one.

The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella

The Burnout by Sophie Kinsella is a big, delicious sink into a whole new world and not want to emerge sort of novel. It’s funny, relatable, a bit swoony when it needs to be, sometimes sad, and utterly immersive. The audio book is perfection. I loved this one, a rare book that I actually didn’t want to end. This is the second Sophie Kinsella I’ve read and she’s now on my auto read list.
