NEW BEGINNINGS FOR BRYONY BENNETT- Katy Lilley
Bryony has inherited from her godmother. She thought maybe a few thousand
which would boost her bank balance nicely. When it turns out to be rather more
she up sticks and moves house to a village. She soon makes a friend in Maddie
who warns her that newcomers are not always welcomed by the locals as they
are seen to be “doing the youngsters out of housing”. The fact that they could
have bought is besides the point. They also think that she is hanging around
Maddie’s ex in order to get his money when nothing could be further from the
truth. This is a wonderfully relaxing read and you take to Bryony and Maddie
very quickly .Lottie however is another matter- infuriating to say the least.
That said she is very well written and you can imagine just how she would be.
 A summers read, perhaps if you have just moved house, or know the
stresses of doing so.Of being new in a crowd. Of wanting acceptance for
who you are (not what). A delightful, pick-you-up read with a smile.

Blurb:

When Bryony Bennett’s godmother dies and leaves her a huge inheritance, Bryony jumps at the
chance to get away from it all and start again.
She packs up her life and moves into the (almost) idyllic Cliff Cottage…only to find that starting
over is never quite as simple as you imagine. Faced with grumpy neighbours, hostile locals
and more than her fair share of disasters, Bryony embarks on a mission to make sure her
new life is everything she wants it to be…but will she ever win over the locals and truly be
 happy in her new life?

Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud- Cafe- Richard Dee-  4* Andi has landed on a mining station a week away from Mars. She takes on the “ucky strike cafe” (the “L” fell off) - its previous owner having disappeared leaving outstanding debts. Her business partner Cy is right behind her. Much to her surprise they find the previous guy in the freezer - in a body bag. Being on a different planet means there are rules about refuse and hence they decide to leave him there having little choice in the matter. Andi wants to find out more about a secret book that he had and who murdered him. This is a wonderful, lighthearted read to make you smile. Characters that are well portrayed and you take to easily. Descriptions are vivid and you can easily picture “the planet” in your minds eye. An excellent plot line with a little humour and even romance along the way. A highly enjoyable read.

  More Life as a Dog by LA Davenport- memoirs/humour This is the second in the series (both happily stand alone) about Kevin the dachshund, the “meat seeking missile” and his adventures with his human. Human has a new girlfriend and it’s a nervous time when Kevin is taken to be introduced to her dog. Will he behave or let them both down? This is written in the first person from the humans point of view and tells of outings they have such as a trip back to London after a day out,  but turned into an adventure due to running out of petrol. From meeting Amy Winehouse to poor Kevin being kicked there are the highs and lows of their lives. This is a fun,  light hearted read especially for any dog lover.  Although told from the human perspective, it's told with Kevin at the heart of things. It's heart-warming, it's very touching and also that for some of us, we have overcome much due to having that canine companion at our side. A short, beautiful read. One for over a coffee or t

Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson

  Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson-mystery thriller Oh wow! A book I wanted to devour in one helping but didn't want it to end. Holmes, Marple and Poe are PI’s and have just started their own agency together. Each one has particular talents although all are highly attuned to finding out the whys and wherefores to solve a crime. Holmes for example is hyperosmic and can detect scents amongst the normal ones the rest of us can. Are they their real names? Of that we are not sure but what we can be certain of is that they are good at their job, very good and the police department calls them in when things are starting to get beyond them or where they would rather not be involved. Each one has their own secrets from their lives before they got together. Can they solve the crimes and stay under the radar? This is my first James Patterson book. I know , I know, I must have been hiding under a rock. Brilliant and page turning doesn't do this justice. It looks like I have rather
