Welcome back Phrynne! Hope you had a good holiday. You'll probably run out of steam sometime this afternoon and need a nap with the toddlers.

[Billie]

Thanks for the heads up on mature chick lit. They were (almost) the original chicks and did it all. Look forward to checking out Liz Byrski.

Should that be 'hens lit' or 'old chook lit' rather than chick lit then Marianne?

I really enjoyed her Belly Dancing for Beginners a few years back so will be interested to see your review.

LOL - you caught me out ;)

@ Caroline
LOL I like that idea, but perhaps less of the "old"?
so hens lit or chook lit. OK, I'll use that term in future...

HaHa! I was speaking for myself Marianne but we're all young at heart here so chook lit it is!

I have just finished Frontier Resistance by Leonie Rogers - burnt the midnight oil finishing this one and is a solid 5★s - review to follow. In its place I have picked up Throwaway Girl by Kristine Scarrow which is contemporary YA.

I have just recieved a copy of Forbidden Fruit by Ilsa Evans. It is the 3rd in a series of cosy mysteries - very funny! Needless to say I enjoy the series so much that all other current reads have been put down and this one is my priority read now :)

When the first one came out I entered a competition to have one of the minor characters named after me - so Sally who is President of the Majic wine and cheese association, appears in all 3 books - yes happily I'm in this one too :)

Can't wait to get to 'my' bit :)

Oh, what fun!! Karin Slaughter occasionally has a comp like that and you can ask to be nasty or nice....

I just finished a lovely romantic memoir from Netgalley Seven Letters From Paris by Samantha Verant. A true love story about a woman leaving a loveless marriage and taking a chance on writing to a handsome Frenchman she met on her travels in Europe 20 years before.

I wondered why there was no review there from you! It was a tough one but I am pleased I have read it.

I'm still trying to finish The Rosie Effect managed 100 pgs today but still taking time to get there. This one for me definitely needs a re read of no. 1.

Clever review Phrynne! You do indeed get them to move onto the next book ;)

Finally finished The Rosie Effect and loved it! Not as much as The Rosie Project, but would recommend to all for lots of quirk and special characters ;)
