Novel Kicks Book Club: The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty
Penguin, August 2013
July is here and I hope we will see more of this lovely weather.
Is anyone else completely obsessed with the TV adaptation of Big Little Lies? I am.
As we’ve discussed Big Little Lies in a previous book club, this month, I’ve picked another book by Liane, The Husband’s Secret.
A little about the book….
Mother of three and wife of John-Paul, Cecilia discovers an old envelope in the attic. Written in her husband’s hand, it says: to be opened only in the event of my death.
Curious, she opens it – and time stops.
John-Paul’s letter confesses to a terrible mistake which, if revealed, would wreck their family as well as the lives of others.
Cecilia wants to do the right thing, but right for who?
If she protects her family by staying silent, the truth will worm through her heart. But if she reveals her husband’s secret, she will hurt those she loves most . . .

Novel Kicks Book Club: The Man I Think I Know by Mike Gayle
Hodder, 2018
Well hello June. It’s nice to see you.
A new month means a new book club title.
This month, I am reading The Man I Think I Know by Mike Gayle. I love this man’s novels and am pleased to be reading this one. It’s been on my TBR for a while.
Fancy coming and joining me? Anyone can take part in this book club (in your pj’s on your sofa if you like.)
I have posted a question below to kick off the conversation.
About the book:
Ever since The Incident, James DeWitt has stayed on the safe side.
He likes to know what happens next.
Danny Allen is not on the safe side. He is more past the point of no return.
The past is about to catch up with both of them in a way that which will change their lives forever, unexpectedly.
But redemption can come in the most unlikely ways.
by Novel Kicks Book Club: One Last Summer by Victoria Connelly
Lake Union Publishing, February 2019
Hello May.
Here we are, into May already. This month, I have chosen One Last Summer by Victoria Connelly as the focus for our book club.
Harriet Greenleaf dreams of spending the summer in a beautiful ancient priory on the Somerset coast with her two best friends—but her dream is bittersweet. On the one hand, it’s a chance to reconnect three lives that have drifted apart; on the other, she has a devastating secret to share that will change everything between them forever.
First to arrive is Audrey—the workaholic who’s heading for a heart attack unless she slows down and makes time for herself. Then Lisa, the happy-go-lucky flirt who’s always struggled to commit to anyone—or anything. Ever the optimist, can Harriet remind them of the joy in their lives and the importance of celebrating good friendship before it’s gone?
by Novel Kicks Book Club: The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris
Hello April.
Better still, hello to British Summer Time.
This month, the book club title is The Tattooist of Auschwitz by Heather Morris.
This is a book I have been meaning to read for a while. As usual, I have posted a question below to start the discussion. If you’ve read this, I’d love to know what you think. If you haven’t, there is plenty of time to read it. Come join me in the comments below.
Anyone can take part in this book club and you can be in your favourite chair with a cup of tea.
About The Tattooist of Auschwitz:
I tattooed a number on her arm. She tattooed her name on my heart.
In 1942, Lale Sokolov arrived in Auschwitz-Birkenau. He was given the job of tattooing the prisoners marked for survival – scratching numbers into his fellow victims’ arms in indelible ink to create what would become one of the most potent symbols of the Holocaust.
by Novel Kicks Book Club: The Last by Hanna Jameson
Viking, 2019
Hello March and greetings to a brand new book to discuss.
I personally am very excited by this month’s pick which, if you’ve not already guessed is The Last by Hanna Jameson.
When I read this one, I couldn’t put it down and I am looking forward to talking about it. I do at any opportunity. As normal, I have added a question below to kick off the discussion.
Remember, anyone can take part in our book club and it can be from the comfort of your sofa, bed, whatever.
About The Last:
Historian Jon Keller is on a trip to Switzerland when the world ends. As the lights go out on civilisation, he wishes he had a way of knowing whether his wife, Nadia, and their two daughters are still alive. More than anything, Jon wishes he hadn’t ignored Nadia’s last message.
Twenty people remain in Jon’s hotel. Far from the nearest city and walled in by towering trees, they wait, they survive.
Then one day, the body of a young girl is found. It’s clear she has been murdered. Which means that someone in the hotel is a killer.
