This Is Hawkward by Joelle Evans

This Is Hawkward by Joelle Evans is part of the shared Tuft Swallow world series written by seven different authors. All the stories are set in a cosy, small town full of charming people, all keen on bird jokes and minding each others' businesses... 

This Is Hawkward is the sixth story in the series, and we get to meet Callie a first grade teacher and cornhole champion who's recently arrived in Tuft Swallow. She loves her new town and is fast making friends. including with the Goat Mayor Winston. 

Leo has had to return back home, to get support from his parents, after his relationship broke down. His 12 year old daughter is not too happy about the move... Leo is currently working as sports coach at the local school.

Callie is fighting her attraction to Leo as she's not planning on staying in Tuft Swallow and she doesn't want to give the wrong messages to Lexie, Leo's daughter.

Lexie is hell bent on getting Callie and her dad together and sets up a fundraising competition with a series of contests throughout town.

This is Hawkward is another fab story in the Tuft Swallows series - old friends return and we meet new ones. I am sad this is the penultimate book, as the series has been a hoot (pun intended) so far! Make sure you read them all!

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.
