One Hundred Names by Cecelia Ahern
The kind of books that Cecelia Aherne writes are much gentler than those I am normally drawn to. However, as my library were giving away books for free, I could not resist picking up One Hundred Names published in 2012. One Hundred Names has quite a slow start. We meet the main protagonist, Kitty and …

The Secret Language of Women by Nina Romano
Have you ever come across a book that delights you? I had never read any novels by Nina Romano previously, but The Secret Language of Women was recommended to me by so many people, that I decided it would be churlish to ignore this book. I am so glad I picked it up. The Secret …
