One of my favourite things to do on a summer holiday is to get stuck into a good book. There is no better feeling than the sun on your face, the sand between your toes, and an unputdownable book in your hands. Today we’re introducing our summer book club reads which will be reviewed by the lovely Emma Kingston from Year of the Yes, our very own editor Lauren, and RMS founder Mrs O’Shea.
The Life and Death of Sophie Stark | Anna North | {Contemporary Fiction}
“It’s hard for me to talk about love. I think movies are the way I do that.” Sophie Stark is a film maker who creates films based on the stories of her loved ones. But will she pay a price for doing so? Find out by reading the book here.
The Mistake I Made | Paula Daly | {Thriller}
Roz is a single mum whose life is a mess. Her business has gone under and she is thousands of pounds in debt. Then a stranger makes her an offer she can’t refuse. A modern day Indecent Proposal? Find out here.
Without a Doubt | Marcia Clark | {Biography}
I don’t know about you but I was hooked on the BBC2 series ‘The People v OJ Simpson’ and cannot wait to read the chief prosecutor’s version of events. You can buy it here.
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy | Helen Fielding | {Literary Fiction}
The nation’s favourite singleton returns with her hilarious tales of online dating and parenting mishaps. The film is out later on this year…stay ahead of the game and read the book first, which you can buy at Amazon.
Join us in the first week of June for Emma’s review of The Life and Death of Sophie Stark. Do let us know if you plan to read along.
Really need to get back into my reading. Work and home are so busy at the moment, I find I get into a book but abandon it halfway through! Hoping some time away will help me get back into it. I’m heading to the states on Friday so have stocked up on some books for the journey; The Mistake I Made is one of them
I’m exactly the same Rach…I recently abandoned Game of Thrones halfway through the last book!
Have an amazing time in the states, look forward to you joining us when Charlotte reviews The Mistake I Made x
All books sound good, especially the Marcia clark one. Love reading things I may not normally choose so looking forward to all the summer reads! X
The Marcia Clark one is top of my list too Emma 🙂
Yup I really want to read Marcia Clark’s book after watching the TV show!
I know Lynn…she’s a fascinating lady. I’m intrigued to see how true to life the TV series was.
Thanks for the recommendations! I will certainly try a couple of these. Love a good book over the summer. 🙂 If anyone needs another option for a holiday or something I would highly recommend Behind Closed Doors by B. A. Paris. A thriller that I read in 24 hours! Such a gripping page turner.
Just googled Behind Closed Doors, it does look gripping! Thanks for the recommendation and do join in when we review the others 🙂
I read Sophie Stark a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it. Looking forward to hearing what you think!
Ooh good to hear Juliette! Make sure you join us in June when Emma reviews it x
I was tempted by the Marcia Clark book too, I thought the TV series was brilliant and am still really pleased the good old Beeb managed to acquire it!
