MORE BOOKS I'VE ENJOYED READING RECENTLY

June 26, 2015 in LIFESTYLE, Uncategorized


A couple of months ago, I shared with you some of the novels I had been enjoying recently (here); so I thought I’d share my next round of reading material with you also…


Always The Bridesmaid by Lindsey Kelk

Lindsey Kelk is the chick-lit Queen. I adored her famous I Heart… series; so couldn’t wait to read this as soon as it was released. In her latest novel, Maddie is a wedding and events planner with an insufferable boss. Add to that her own relationship dramas, and the fact she has just been appointed bridesmaid to her best friend; she isn’t going to be walking down the aisle herself very soon. This is a funny book that all modern 20 to 30-something women will relate to, as it features the career, friendship and relationship dilemmas that we all experience.


Summer Loving by Allie Spencer

Allie Spencer’s books are entertaining and very easy reads. They are the sort of books for lazing by the pool on holiday, without much thinking required. That’s not to underestimate them, as we all need a light and reliable read sometimes. This novel follows a group of female, reunited college flatmates on a group holiday to Greece; where one thing after another goes wrong. Expect everything you would expect when you put a group of women in one place- tears, bonding, relationship woes, laughter…and a tale of a missing historical artefact which just doesn’t belong in this book,


Techbitch by Lucy Sykes & Jo Piazza

The description of this novel was right up my street- it’s about a print magazine editor, Imogen, who returns to work from sick leave to find out that her traditional fashion magazine has been changed to a digital app format. She has new colleagues to deal with that seem to have risen through the ranks without any hard work, and new technologies to work with that she doesn’t understand. It reminds me a lot of The Devil Wears Prada– lots of fashion magazine one-upmanship and scheming; with a clearly identifiable ‘devil’. If you are a blogger, or work in digital media, you will love this. It is surprisingly educational too.


Don’t Tell The Bride by Anna Bell

I think Anna Bell is a hugely under-appreciated chick-lit writer. Her books are very very funny; especially the ones in this series, of which this is the latest. In this novel, we follow the latest adventures of mishap-prone Penny Robinson, a wedding planner for budget brides. She is very comedic- along the lines of Becky Brandon from Sophie Kinsella’s Shopaholic series- well-meaning; but always gets herself into scrapes- including nearly losing her business in this novel. This is a wonderful, feel-good read and if this type of book is your thing, I’d definitely give this series by Anna Bell a try.


Into The Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes

I do like a good thriller now and again, such as Girl On The Train, and this one by Elizabeth Haynes was recommended to me. It is really gripping, and a seriously ‘can’t put down’ read. I don’t want to give too much away; but it tells the story of Catherine, who starts a relationship with a new man; however, he starts to become controlling and frightening. She eventually manages to escape her life of domestic violence; but years later, the phone rings…


The Long Weekend by Veronica Henry

This is not normally a book I would go near. I would have deemed it as, no offence, a book for 50 to 60-somethings. For a start, it’s set in a quiet beach town in Cornwall, and features an array of characters that are all a lot older than me. However, it was on a very special offer and I needed something to read, so I bought it. I was rather surprised as I actually quite enjoyed it. It’s not the style of book that I would probably go back to any time soon as it lacked any of the frivolity of chick-lit women’s fiction that I enjoy. This is a lot more of a serious read, following the stories and turmoil of several groups of characters as they all come to stay, for different reasons, at the same seaside hotel. It really explores the human condition and makes you think about life and our relationships with others.

5 products you help you look and feel more confide 5 products you help you look and feel more confident & attractive 💕
Neom Wellbeing Pod Mini Diffuser & Calm + Relax Essential Oil - Fill your room with calming essential oils as you get ready for your date night. A blend of 16 of the purest essential oils including Moroccan blush rose, lime and black pepper. All chosen to help bring a feeling of calm. Use my affiliate link for 20% off - https://community.neomorganics.com/s/alifewithfrills
Cosmoss @cosmoss The Sacred Mist - A gorgeous fragrance of empowerment. This scent created by Kate Moss & Homeopath Victoria Young, is deeply calming and uplifting. The perfect fragrance to soothe your date night nerves and balance your anxious emotions, whilst uplifting your mood. A blend of beautiful earthy and floral botanical notes.
The One @theone_personalcareofficial - This unique rollerball product has been designed with the findings of two scientific studies. A study of 50 young women found humans produce the same copulins as nonhuman primates. The concentration of these copulins increases during parts of the menstrual cycle in which women are more likely to be fertile.
Another study exposed men to copulins and asked them to rate the attractiveness of women’s faces. During exposure to the copulins men had higher testosterone levels and rated women as more attractive. A follow-up study validated the findings.
This product combines two ingredients - it is a blend of jasmine flower, whose fragrance increases the testosterone in men, and carob tree, whose fatty acids mimic the composition of copulins - those pheromones secreted by women that stimulate men subconciously. Could it make you more attractive to the opposite sex? Use the code Laura for 20% off.
Charlotte Tilbury @charlottetilbury Glow Glide Architect Highlighter in Gilded Glow - Get a breathtaking glow that will make you shine, even if you don’t feel like it inside.
