Since You've Bean Gone by Lainey Davis (Farm 2 Forking)

Since you’ve been gone is the first book in an author collaboration project. It was written by writer goddess Lainey Davis - it’s safe to say this is going to be another success!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Lainey Davis for allowing me to be part of your secret ARC squad for this book! I am not 100% sure if I should post this review now or wait until closer to release day - 9 May 2024, but it's a FAB book, so here goes!!

Since You've Bean Gone by Lainey Davis is the first in the Farm 2 Forking series of books, each written by a different author. The authors are: Lainey Davis, Liz Alden, Karen Grey, Erin Mallon and Ember Leigh.

Bedd Fellows Farm, in the fictional town of Fork Lick, New Your is in trouble. The five Bedd siblings have inherited a heap of debt, along with Baa-bara the troublesome sheep, and they’re all too stubborn to accept the help they need to dig their way out of the compost pile.

The foreclosure is handled by Lia, the ex of Ethan, the oldest Bedd and there are tension all around, and some romance, some laughter and a lot of smiling, especially when the meddling grandma and her sheep are involved.

I have not come across the other four authors, but I'm looking forward to reading their contributions to Fork Lick!

Related to the Farm 2 Forking series by Davis and her author friends, is the recently released Against the Grain, the first book in the Planted and Plowed series.

Beginning of Forever Catherine Bybee

Bybee has written another fab book in the D'Angelos series - great holiday read, perhaps even more so if you're heading to Italy and love wine! Amazing combination of romance, travel, independence, life experience and wine. Oh, and not to forget the Golden Girls!! This is the third book in the D'Angelos series - you really ought to read them all!! - and it'll be available at the end of June 2023. My review of the second book in the series, Be your everything , can be found ## here ##. #BeginningofForever #NetGalley

More Than Just Mum by Rebecca Smith

I'll happily pay for a 'mum breakdown service' Title: More Than Just Mum (More Than Just Mum, Book 1) Author: Rebecca Smith In the reviews by others, this book is described as an "absolutely hilarious, laugh out loud novel of family chaos and reinvention". I wasn't that enamoured with it. Sure, it made me smile from time to time, but it wasn't incredible. Hannah is the mum of Dylan, Scarlet and Benji. She's tired of being 'the mum of...'. and she's longingly looking back at a time when she was Hannah, not the MUM. She decides she needs to find a job she loves and earn a lot of money. To earn lots of money she decides she should become a writer, because they apparently all earn a lot of dosh. She has a particular niche in mind... "... might ask for advice about how to handle being forty-three years old, permanently strapped for cash and doing a job I hate while trying to deal with three exhausting kids. That’s the kind of breakdown ...

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley by Rosie Clarke

Dark Secrets on Dressmakers' Alley is the latest instalment in the gritty, historical saga series set in London's East End in 1924. It builds on the first book in the series "Dangerous Times on Dressmakers' Alley" with many of the characters returning and coming further to life. The girls are enjoying their work at Miss Susie's, the dressmaker's run by a former maid. Recently there has been a series of women being attached and robbed, even in broad daylight. The Police seem too busy (and somewhat incompetent) so the men of the Dressmakers' Alley create a rota to keep an eye on the area and to keep their wives, girlfriends and sisters safe. The story felt a bit darker than the previous one, and some of the novelty from the first book was now just part of the back story (a Lady designing dresses, a former maid running a business, the Women's Movement, etc). Dark Secrets on Dressmakers Alley by Rosie Clarke is available on 29 October 2024.
