'After I Do' by Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the BLURB: When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do ...

'The Flatshare' by Beth O'Leary

Received from the Publisher  FROM THE BLURB:  Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they're crazy, but it's the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy's at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.  But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly-imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven't met yet, they're about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window... ' The Flatshare ' by Beth O'Leary is a debut fiction novel, coming out in Australia on April 23. My first read of 2019 and it’s a favourite! Beth O'Leary’s 'The Flatshare' was AMAZING - I inhaled it in two days, and then went back for a re-read straight away.  "Tiffy & Leon share a flat. Tiffy & Leon share a bed. Tiffy & Leon have never met." It's a clever...

'This Will Only Hurt a Little' by Busy Philipps

Sent by the Publisher in exchange for an honest review From the BLURB: A memoir by the beloved comedic actress known for her roles on Freaks and Geeks, Dawson's Creek , and Cougartown who has become 'the breakout star on Instagram stories . . . imagine I Love Lucy mixed with a modern lifestyle guru' (New Yorker).

'The Angels' Share' The Bourbon Kings #2 by J. R. Ward

Received from the Publisher  From the BLURB: Behind the glamorous facade of Kentucky's most famous family lurks a secret - one that threatens its very foundation . . . In Charlemont, Kentucky, the Bradford family is the crème de la crème of high society - just like their exclusive brand of bourbon. And their complicated lives and vast estate are run by a discrete staff who inevitably become embroiled in their affairs. This is especially true now, when the apparent suicide of the family patriarch is starting to look more and more like murder. No one is above suspicion - especially the eldest Bradford son, Edward. The bad blood between him and his father is known far and wide, and he is aware that he could be named a suspect. As the investigation into the death intensifies, he keeps himself busy at the bottom of a bottle - as well as with his former horse trainer's daughter. Meanwhile, the family's financial future lies in the perfectly manicured hands of a business rival, a ...

'Australia to Z' by Armin Greder

Received from the Publisher  From the BLURB: Juxtaposing words and images, the multi-award-winning author of The Island shines an uncompromising light on what it is to be Australian. I don't normally review picture books - not because I don't read them and love them (I do, I  really  do!) but because I think to do them justice I'd have to dedicate an entire blog to the reviewing of them (Hey! There's an idea...) and I personally love the book blogs in which  actual  children review picture books (and I'll admit, their opinions hold more weight than mine!)  But I simply have to rave about Armin Greder's 2016 picture-alphabet book, 'Australia to Z'.  Look, all picture books are art books as far as I'm concerned. But Greder's especially feels sharp and subversive - and a perfect example of how children's picture books especially, can say so much with so little.  In Greder's alphabet book,  A  is for ' A borigine', ' B oat People...
