Novel Kicks Book Club: Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
“I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers.”
Hello October.
I will always have a soft spot for October. OK, i’m a little bias as it’s my birthday month but I adore the changing colours of the leaves, the build up to Halloween (I blame a Canadian in my life for my love of this holiday. I am very much a Christmas girl normally. Haha). October gives me the perfect excuse for a comfortable blanket, a hot chocolate and a book.
As you would have already seen from the title, this month’s book pick is Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery.
The quote above is from this novel and I’m ashamed to say, it’s a novel I have never read. This month, I want to change that and I hope you’ll also join me.
As usual, anyone can join, whether you’ve already read the novel or will be reading along with me. I have placed a question in the comments below to kick off the discussion. I really hope to see you there.

Novel Kicks Book Club: The Guilty Couple by C.L. Taylor
Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Book Club.
Hello September.
The beginning of the ‘ber’ months is upon us. Although I am shifting to Autumn in my head, we are due another heatwave here in the UK apparently. Whether the weather is giving us warmth or showing us rain, there is always an excuse to settle down with a book. I am hoping you’ll enjoy this month’s book club pick.
The Guilty Couple by C.L. Taylor.
I have long been a fan of this author but am yet to read this novel from 2022. I can’t wait to get started. It sounds amazing.
So, how does our book club work?
It’s fully online so there is no reason to move from the comfortable spot you find yourself in to read. You can also join the discussion at any time in the month – whether you’ve already read it or, like me, will be reading it for the first time. I have put a question in the comments below to start the conversation.
I look forward to talking about this book with you.

by Novel Kicks Book Club: The Wedding People by Alison Espach
Hello. Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Book Club.
I’m so happy to be greeting August. We are in the middle of a heatwave here in the UK and, although we are all wanting air-con we don’t have, it’s been nice to see the sun.
For me, there’s nothing better than sitting in a garden/comfortable chair with a cool drink and a good book in the other hand. I hope, with the book cub pick for this month, I have given you one of those.
This month’s pick is The Wedding People by Alison Espach.
This book sounds compelling and I can’t wait to get started.
So, how does our book club work?
Whether you’ve already read the book or will be starting it this month, all are welcome. The added bonus of our book club is that you don’t have to leave the comfort of your sofa/garden/terrace/bed to take part. I’ve added a question below to start the discussion.
I’ll see you in the comments.

by Novel Kicks Book Club: Every Summer After By Carley Fortune
Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Book Club.
It’s July. Halfway through the year. Summer is definitely on its way which hopefully means some lazy moments and a chance to read in the sun. All you need is a book. I have just the one for you.
I am so intrigued by the premise of this novel. It promises romance, emotional moments and two interesting main characters. I can’t wait to start, and I hope you’ll be joining me.
This month’s pick is Every Summer After by Carley Fortune.

About Every Summer After –
Six summers to fall in love. One moment to fall apart. A weekend to get it right.
They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser that has felt too true for the last decade, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life. Instead of glittering summers on the lakeshore of her childhood, she spends them in a stylish apartment in the city, going out with friends, and keeping everyone a safe distance from her heart.
by Novel Kicks Book Club: The Alchemist’s Secret By Clare Marchant
Hello everyone. Welcome back to the Novel Kicks Book Club.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but June is here and we are almost halfway through 2026. With the weather not being able to make up its mind here in the UK, I am hoping the book club title this month will be one you’ll enjoy. It’s an historical fiction novel by an author I love.
The Alchemist’s Secret by Clare Marchant.

About The Alchemist’s Secret –
Now: When Paige returns to her ancestral family home, Woodham Hall, she’s nursing an unbearable heartbreak. The man she’d thought she loved has told her the most terrible lie, one she feels she’ll never recover from. The only thing that seems to be able to hold her interest is the story of a poisoning that once supposedly happened in the house – depicted in brutal detail in a painting by an unknown artist…
