Good. Shows the reality of Maternity leave in a very candid but funny way.

Good. Story about two people trying to get a job writing an old socialite's biography. The old socialite gives me Evelyn Hugo vibes which I enjoyed. I enjoyed this book incredibly but it felt like I was taken out of the story when you were being told the socialite's story which jarred a little bit for me. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.

Very good. Full of romance. Josie Silver just keeps on getting better with every book. This story follows Kate who takes on the role of an author as the actual author doesn't want to be associated with the book. Shows the highs and lows of social media. Full of bookish goodness. Thank you #PenquinRandomHouse for the free copy via #Netgalley.

Good. Even though the characters are hard to relate to, the connection between them all is interesting to read. Connected by an event in their lives you get to see how it affects them all and how they deal with it.

Run, Rose, Run: A Novel | James Patterson, Dolly Parton

Good. Interesting story and concept. Felt like I was in the heart of Nashville and listening to the music first hand. Could see Dolly's influence especially with the character of Ruthanna. Even though I enjoyed the story I felt like it was building up to something bigger than what happened and the build up was forgotten in places so the pace got lost. Also it felt rushed in the last few chapters.

Good. A compelling thriller that makes you feel like you are with the characters rather than just reading about them. The story just flows and I couldn't put this down. Thank you #Penguin for inviting me to read this via #Netgalley.

Very good. Very detailed but sometimes the details got bogged down and I felt like the author was try to hard to include everything in this guide. Learnt a lot about the Regency period.

Very good. Interesting to read about the origin of this criminal and his crimes in more detail. Reads like a novel so it is easy to read. Must read for fans of the BBC show The Serpent as it gives the show more perspective and depth.

Good. Full of twists and turns. Even though the story was good the ending felt a bit rushed and a bit convoluted.
