January – Lesley Pearse
Why did I pick this book as my Book of the Month?
Well that is really easy for me to answer .. Belle was my favourite book of 2011 and I jumped at the chance to read an advanced copy of sequel The Promise when Lesley asked if I’d like to. I adore the way in which Lesley can capture the attention of her readers right from page 1 of her books and keep you turning the pages as you get sucked into the story!
February – Gabrielle Kimm
Why did I pick this book as my Book of the Month?
At the end of 2011 I was talking with my good friend, Sue Uden about a book she was reading, His Last Duchess and how much she was enjoying it. I realised that I purchased this book a few months back so decided to give it a try and I loved it. As a huge fan of historical fiction I was gripped (you can read my review on this blog). It was only natural that I would then rush to buy Gabrielle’s next book, The Courtesan’s Lover and I have to say I loved it even more than His Last Duchess, which I didn’t think possible!
Also .. being the Month with Valentine’s Day – seems the perfect time to feature it!!
Why did I pick this book as my Book of the Month?
When I decided to have a Book of the Month it was for a couple of reason, the obvious being that I wanted to help support Authors of books that I adored last year and show my thanks to them by promoting their latest book. But also, to try new Authors that I hadn’t read before as in this case with Elizabeth Buchan. I was delighted when I received an email from the Publisher’s Michael Joseph at Penguin asking if I would consider reviewing this book. It seemed a perfect time what with Mother’s day coming up this month to feature a book called Daughters!
April – Carole Matthews
Why did I pick this book as my Book of the Month?
When looking for something for April, I wanted to select something that would cheer me up, just like the coming of Spring does to me and I knew without a doubt the latest Carole Matthews would do exactly that. Whilst the paperback is not available until 24th May (Kindle and Hardback are now available!) I don’t want to be that (April) fool and not include this book in this years Books of the Month!
