I was reluctant to read this one, I don’t know why but it didn’t seem like something I would usually read. A book found in the fiction section of which I would usually associate with women older than myself, I’ve never read a Lesley Pearse novel before and didn’t know what to expect. Safe to say I have spent the last couple of days engrossed in it and didn’t want it to end. I’m sure my train to work went faster than usual while I was reading this one!
A Passionate Love Affair With a Total Stranger is a love story, not your average soppy predictable love story; Lucy Robinson has brought a whole new meaning to love stories and it’s exciting, it’s not just about passion and romance it’s filled with mystery and abundant with hilarity.
The lovely folks over at Penguin towers have set about encouraging everyone to read more, they plan to make 2013 the year of reading! It really is as simple as reading a book a week.
Talk about it, share your thoughts with everyone but most of all enjoy it. You can read any books you like, or you can follow the reading list along with the reader at Readarama.
Initially I was going to write a list of books that would make great Christmas gifts for friends and family, but everyone did that didn’t they? There is nothing better than buying yourself a treat and a good book for the new year is a great way to start! Here are five books in no particular order, that I have really enjoyed and hope you will too.
Can you remember being thirteen and jumping around your room to ‘5 colours in her hair’ while your mum shouted upstairs to turn it down and get ready for school? I can.
That was ten years ago now, a lot has changed since then.
