Five Ladies Go Skiing by Karen Aldous-+ Giveaway **********
Five friends are “Flowers”- Fun-loving older women embracing life with a renaissance
of spirit- which is their philosophy. Ginny lost her husband Mike a year ago to cancer.
She knows he held a secret. Kim now lives in Australia with her consultant husband Will.
She longs to return to the UK and her friends but Will isn’t finished with his work yet.
Cathy is now living her dream having given up her teaching post and is now writing.
Angie is married to Rob and has a voracious appetite- not for food- much to the
surprise of her husband. Lou when packing is remembering one of her first loves whom
she has now dug up on social media. They have all met up for a skiing holiday- four of
them never having done this before- however each is holding their own secrets in one
way or another. It looks like there could be more than just skiing on the agenda.
I enjoyed this. I loved the camaraderie between the ladies. Some had tough beginnings
in life and owed others for being there when they needed them- even as children.
I felt for Ginny and her predicament and for Kim- I won’t spoil it- but being between
the devil and the deep. A story of life and loves and how friendships help the world
an easier place when sometimes all it seems to throw at us appears to want to knock
us down. A wonderful enjoyable read.

Five Ladies Go Skiing A delightful new novel of love and friendship from Karen Aldous… Ginny is alone now after losing her husband, so her friends (her F.L.O.W.E.R.S) decide with his first memorial imminent, learning to ski in the Swiss Alps would be a great distraction for her. What Ginny’s friends fail to add into the equation however, is their own distractions! The baggage they carry with them not only threatens their skiing but scales mountainous emotions throughout the trip. The questions then are…can their friendships survive, and can Ginny ever trust enough to love again?

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 L.A Davenport

  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
