Top Ten Tuesday: A new start

 






Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Books for People Who Liked Author X


Rather than talk about a specific author X, I am sharing ten authors who write escape fiction. That probably isn't actually the right name for it, but generally it is books that feature someone making a new start in a new location. Often there are foodie elements, but not always. The covers are often cartoony in style, so it is relatively easy to pick them. I have a lot of books set in France or Italy so I am going to resist the urge to just have those on the list!






Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash - Read this a couple of weeks ago. Will have the review up later this week.


The Little Venice bookshop by Rebecca Raisin - Read this a couple of days ago! Will have a review of this one next week.





One French Summer by Gillian Harvey - Read this one a couple of months ago (review here)


Retreat to the Spanish Sun by Jo Thomas - I have read a couple of Jo Thomas books now. One was set in France, another at Christmas markets in Germany. This one is on my Kindle to read at some point






The Little Teashop in Tokyo by Julie Caplin - I haven't read either this author or the next one, but I do have both of these books on my Kindle.


Tilly's Tuscan Tea Shop by Daisy James - Tea anyone?






A Cottage Full of Secrets by Jane Lovering
- This one is set in Yorkshire!


An Escape to Remember by TA Williams - This is another book set in Italy, this time near Turin.




The Cafe at Seashell Cove by Karen Clarke - I'm not entirely sure where Seashell Cove is!


Snowflakes and Secrets in the Scottish Highlands by Donna Ashcroft
- Scotland! Yes, please!


Can you believe I haven't got a single Jenny Colgan book on this list and there are plenty of other authors that I have missed too! Do you have any recommendations for this kind of read?

Top Ten Tuesday - Last Ten Books I 1-clicked

 


 


Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection. I have limited my list to the last 10 books I 1-clicked.






The Proxy Bride by Zoe Boccabella - This book tells the story of Italian women who were married by proxy and then sent to Australia where they met the man they were already married to. It sounds really interesting.




The Beachside Christmas by Karen Clarke - One of the many Christmas books I 1 clicked recently.






Christmas at Red Robin Cottage by Sue Roberts - Oh look, another Christmas book!




Christmas in Paris by Tilly Tennant - And yes, another!







All's Fair in Love and Chocolate and You Had Me at Chocolate by Amy Andrews - Amy Andrews is an Australian author, but these book are set in US.







Becoming Beth by Meredith Appleyard - I can't remember why I bought this  one, but it does sound interesting



Snowflakes and Secrets in the Scottish Highlands by Donna Ashcroft - Sneaking another Christmas book in.






A Baby on the Doorstep and 

A Home for Unloved Orphans by Rachel Wesson - The second book was on sale for cheap, but I had to buy the first book as well. Yes, I am a marketers dream customer!


Have you read any of these?
