WOMEN DON’T OWE YOU PRETTY – FLORENCE GIVEN
#LizzieReads I’m really not sure where to start without trying to offend anyone – oh wait, do I feel like that because I am a woman? These are just some of the issues Florence Given raises in her novel. A self-proclaimed feminist, her novel is essential an amalgamated piece of things we are learning to [...]
THE SHELF – HELLY ACTON
A witty and compelling read embodying feminism, sisterhood, girl power, self love and self acceptance 🥰
HEAR ME OUT – SARAH HARDING
A sorrowful read from the late singer and 1/5 of Girls Aloud, Sarah Harding, who tells her side of the stories that have emerged from the press with no let up. Here, she leaves her legacy in her only book, her autobiography
THE CATCH – T.M. LOGAN
#LizzieReads I’m becoming more open to trying out genres I am not too keen on, for instance crime and thrillers, which is this post’s choice: The Catch by T. M. Logan did not fail to disappoint! It is quite lucky I picked this up, as it was only to make up a 3 for 2 [...]
THE ROAD TRIP – BETH O’LEARY
A warm, funny, British rom-com read for Beth O'Leary fans. A fab read leaving me feel warm inside with some very unexpected LOL moments!

This is a term I am sure many of us have seen thrown about over the last couple of years in particular, and to the annoyance of others, [...]
THE MINUTE I SAW YOU – PAIGE TOON
#LizzieReads I knew I would not be let down when reading The Minute I Saw You by Paige Toon. I first discovered her in about 2013/2014 when reading Pictures of Lily (which I want to re-read!) where her novels are mainly based in the UK and Australia, or both! This novel did not fail to [...]
LADY IN WAITING – LADY ANNE GLENCONNER
A decent brief read if you are a fan of the royal fan and aristocracy - but don't expect this to be an autobiography of hers...
TO LOVE AND TO LOATHE – MARTHA WATERS
#LizzieReads This was recommended on my goodreads, probably as I am a massive Jane Austen fan, specifically Pride and Prejudice, as well as Netflix’s Bridgerton which I also intend to read. Now, I get some books will be similar, but this one was almost identical to Pride and Prejudice, making me somewhat bored – however, [...]
