As a book reviewer, I honestly don’t get time to have favourite Authors because I only ever get to read one of their books but, after reading Geraldines “Riding Pillion with George Clooney” I fell in love with her writing style. This book contains twelve short stories inspired by the everyday lives of women, and as a woman, wife and mother living in a very confusing world right now, I found this lovely little book the perfect escape from all this craziness we are living through, I could even relate to a few of them! I would recommend putting on the kettle, or pop a chilled bottle of wine, get out your favourite biscuits or box of chocolates, hey, why not have both!! Find a comfy chair, turn off your phone and put your feet up. You will want to read this book in a day so you might want to phone work and tell them you’re having a duvet day and enjoy a few hours, just you, your book, and a drop of something nice. You deserve it.

Thankfully, Geraldine also sent me a wonderful book of Christmas themed short stories. This one is, thankfully, a little longer and will get me into the Christmas spirit. In the meantime, don’t forget to send me your Christmas suggestions.

Engaging set of stories.

Each story explores new emotions. Familiar, yet unfamiliar. Characters known, yet unknown. Do read if you want to understand loneliness and solitude.
