The Anniversary by Veronica Henry
4.0
One of my favourite times of the year. Quick Reads publish their new titles! I have been reading the series for 4 years and will continue to do so. I never knew it has been 10 years!
Short stories:
The Other Half - Fanny Blake 3/5
I read Red for Revenge last year it was a good enough read, this short story finished in 10 pages. The plot was predictable.
Moment of Glory - Elizabeth Buchanan 3/5
I've never heard or read of Elizabeth Buchanan. Moment of Glory is historical fiction that kind of confused me?
Birthday Secrets - Rowan Coleman 3/5
I have yet to read Rowan Colemans We Are All Made of Stars (appealed to me whilst browsing social media) I literally went "YAY!" when her story appeared. The secrets were good but I guessed one. Overall I will be reading more of her work.
Truth is Stranger Than Fiction - Jenny Colgan 3/5
I read Jenny Colgan years ago, but it never appealed to me at the time. I was eager to see how her writing has changed. I enjoyed female character. That's it.
May Day- Philipa Gregory 3/5
Historical fiction - skim read- never heard of author before
A Walk Outside - Matt Haig 4/5
My favourite short story out of the collection. The book finished way too quickly, I wanted more. Mental health topic was written really well. I already have Reasons to Stay Alive on TBR. Will be reading more of Matt's work.
Love Me Tender - Veronica Henry
Skipped. Not for me.
The Promise - Andy McNab
Sounded like 'lad lit' to me. Skipped.
The Crater - Richard Meadley 2/5
Weird.
The Gospel According to Judas - John O' Farrell 3/5
Funny - will be reading more of his work.
