LIZZIE READS … ADULTS
A novel full of anecdotes as portrayed through the life of Jenny McLaine on social media, full of dry humour, wit and relatable female anecdotes which had me chuckling throughout
BALADE en PROVENCE PEAR HAND CREAM
Damn! I couldn’t not talk about these rich beauties on my blog! I’ve found as I’ve got older, I’ve used hand cream a lot more 1) bc it smells nice and 2) my hands get so dry! Part of my job in a supermarket involves handling a lot of goods pretty much every second – put that together with [...]
LIZZIE READS … SUCH A FUN AGE
Kiley Reid's debut novel addressing the issues of class and race - and the beautiful baby Briar who steals the show!
LIZZIE READS … WEDDING NIGHT
#LizzieReads I’ve read a few Sophie Kinsella books and this is one of my favourites, alongside Shopaholic 1! Starting off in the UK, Lottie is convinced her long-term boyfriend Richard is going to propose. She is adamant he is the one. She even has an engagement ring for him to return the favour … needless to say, in typical Sophie Kinsella style, Lottie’s [...]

LIZZIE READS … NEVER LET ME GO

It could be argued to be science-fiction, yet characters are still [...]
LIZZIE READS … THE GIRL WHO READS ON THE METRO
#LizzieReads A bit of a different read this week which comes from French author Christine Férét-Fléury. The Girl on the Métro is her first adult novel set in Paris: I nearly bought this at the train station in London (how fitting), but thankfully I held off and found it in my local charity shop for less than [...]
LIZZIE READS … CRAZY RICH ASIANS

And what a pleasant, unexpectedread it was! I listened to the audiobook too which I would highly rate! Set across Asia, mainly in Singapore, it follows the story [...]
LIZZIE READS … THE COUPLE NEXT DOOR
My first experience of reading a Shari Lapena thriller confused me. With it being a short one, I was able to get through it quickly and with the help of an audiobook (which I was not a fan of on this occasion). Set in New York, we meet Anne and Marco Conti who have gone to their next-door neighbours (flirty) Cynthia and Graham, for a small [...]
