Book News: Ella Harper
Pieces of You by Ella Harper was released today by Avon. It’s available to buy digitally from 14th August with the paperback being released next month.
A couple of weeks ago, mysterious post began showing up at my door. First, I got a box containing a picture frame and a letter. This was followed by another letter. Eventually, a copy of Pieces of You by Ella Harper arrived. I love it when publishers send little clues and I now can’t wait to read the book. Going by the clues and the blurb, this book sounds brilliant.
About the book:
The perfect marriage.
A devastating secret.
An impossible choice.
Lucy was always sure of one thing – her future with husband and soul mate Luke. But after eight long, heart-breaking years trying to have a baby, that future is crumbling before her eyes. Continue reading

Book News: Matt Dunn
Matt Dunn is the best-selling author of A Day At The Office and The Ex-Boyfriend’s Handbook. The next book from Matt Dunn is called What Might Have Been. We love Matt Dunn here at Novel Kicks and I have to say, we are adoring this book cover too.
It’s due to be released on 12th August 2014 by Lake Union Publishing (so not long to wait,) and is available to pre-order in paperback. It will also be available in e-book.
About the book:
A year ago, Evan and Sarah shared one incredible night. Then Evan’s music—the thing that brought them together—suddenly tore them apart.
Since then, Evan’s not been able to forget about her. And try as she might, Sarah can’t seem to get over him either.
With time running out, Evan’s got one last chance to convince her that the two of them were meant to be. But is one night enough for Sarah to make a decision about the rest of her life—even if it was the best night of her life? And if she doesn’t believe in love at first sight, how can Evan persuade her that what they had will last?

About Shopaholic To The Stars…
Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is in Hollywood! It’s as if all her life has been leading to this moment. She’s hanging out with the stars . or at least she will be, when she finally gets to meet movie superstar Sage Seymour, whom husband Luke is now managing.
There’s so much to see and do! And getting Minnie through the hurdles for her A-list Hollywood pre-school will require some.er.help.
by Book News – Liane Moriarty
Liane’s new book is due for release this month.
We LOVED The Husband’s Secret (if you haven’t read it yet, we can’t recommend it enough. Read our review here.) We are very excited about Liane’s new book which is due to be available from 31st July. It’s being released by Penguin and it’s called Little Lies.
We are also liking this cover. Very pretty.
It’s now available to pre-order from Amazon.
About Little Lies:
Jane hasn’t lived anywhere longer than six months since her son was born five years ago. She keeps moving in an attempt to escape her past. Now the idyllic seaside town of Pirriwee has pulled her to its shores and Jane finally feels like she belongs. She has friends in the feisty Madeline and the incredibly beautiful Celeste – two women with seemingly perfect lives . . . and their own secrets behind closed doors.
But then a small incident involving the children of all three women occurs in the playground causing a rift between them and the other parents of the school. Minor at first but escalating fast, until whispers and rumours become vicious and spiteful. It was always going to end in tears, but no one thought it would end in murder . . .

Hodder & Stoughton, August 2014
On 4th August, Jodi Picoult will be releasing a novella exclusive to eBook. It’s called Larger Than Life and it’s available now to pre-order.
This book is focusing on one of the characters who will then feature in Jodi’s new novel, Leaving Time which is due for release in November.

About the book:
Alice is a researcher studying memory in elephants, and is fascinated by the bonds between mother and calf – the mother’s powerful protective instincts and her newborn’s unwavering loyalty. Living on a game reserve in Botswana, Alice is able to view the animals in their natural habitat, as long as she obeys one important rule: she must only observe and never interfere.
Then she finds an orphaned young elephant in the bush and cannot bear to leave the helpless baby behind. Alice will risk her career to care for the calf. Yet what she comes to understand is the depth of a parent’s love.
