ICYMI, I was in the Irish Times over the weekend writing about Naomi Wood’s new short story collection, THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS (Phoenix Books)

Thank you Phoenix Books for #OneGirlBegan by #KateMurrayBrown (and for resending when the first one didn't arrive).
'Three women. One building. 111 years.' I love this premise!

Cathy Rentzenbrink Francesca Main Phoenix Books I absolutely adored #OrdinaryTime and can imagine reading it over & over again & I wouldn’t say that about many novels! Congratulations on a fantastically charming, funny & deeply touching novel: I bet it will be read & loved widely xxx

Today only! Kate Mosse’s fabulous bestseller Labyrinth is the Audible Daily Deal — treat yourself to a truly immersive and spellbinding novel

Sometimes people ask if it’s worth lugging a suitcase of books when I travel. YES! I just finished another brilliant novel: #OrdinaryTime by Cathy Rentzenbrink & it’s been heaven! Funny, tender, sad, marriage, love, motherhood in shades of a 21st century #BarbaraPym . Perfection!

#OnlyHereOnlyNow by Tom Newlands - I came (at least partly) for the 90s nostalgia but I stayed for the unique voice and huge heart. Oh, Cora Mowat. So real and now tucked away in my heart. Highly recommend if you like slice of life fiction, with all the emotion that entails.
