Novel Kicks Book Club: To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
Scholastic Press, Aug 2014
Hello September.
When I was growing up, I really love this month. Yes, it meant going back to school which I never really minded, but it also was a chance to get new stationery. Fellow addicts will know what I am talking about.
The excitement over new pens and pencils, the feeling of a new notebook. All that potential. In-fact, I still have that feeling now.
Keeping with the theme of stationery and school, the book I have chosen this month is To The Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han.
I’ve posted a question below to start the discussion. Anyone can take part so if you fancy reading along and commenting or have read it, I am looking forward to seeing you in the comments section.

Novel Kicks Book Club: The Flatshare by Beth O’ Leary
Hello August. It’s excellent to see you.
This month, I have chosen The Flatshare by Beth O’ Leary.
Tiffy and Leon share a flat
Tiffy and Leon share a bed
Tiffy and Leon have never met…
Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the rest of the time.
But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work, wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the window…
I have heard many good things about this book and I am looking forward to reading it and discussing it with you.
As usual, I have posted a question below to start the discussion. Anyone is welcome to join.
by 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 . . .

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?
