Currently Reading – I Never Lie by Jody Sabral
Is she the next victim? Or is she the culprit…?
Alex South is a high-functioning alcoholic who is teetering on the brink of oblivion. Her career as a television journalist is hanging by a thread since a drunken on-air rant. When a series of murders occur within a couple of miles of her East London home she is given another chance to prove her skill and report the unfolding events.
She thinks she can control the drinking, but soon she finds gaping holes in her memory, and wakes to find she’s done things she can’t recall. As the story she’s covering starts to creep into her own life, is Alex a danger only to herself – or to others?

Finished Recently – The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane by Emily Harvale
Escape to the seaside village of Little Pondale with Part One of this heart-warming and romantic, four-part serial.
Mia Ward is amazed to be told she has inherited her great-aunt Matilda’s thatched cottage in the tiny seaside village of Little Pondale – especially as Mia didn’t know she had a great-aunt Matilda.
She’s even more astonished to discover she’ll only inherit the place if she actually lives there for one year. Mia’s a city girl at heart, not to mention she’s afraid of water, so the fact the cottage backs on to a sandy beach, is not, in her opinion, a bonus.
But Mia’s struggling to pay her rent since being fired for inappropriate behaviour at the office party, and her boyfriend’s also dumped her. When her best friend, Ella and Ella’s brother, Garrick offer to help her move and settle in, Mia decides to see this as a new beginning.
It may also be the start of an exciting adventure because now Mia wants to know just who, exactly, was great-aunt Matilda. And she’s determined to find out. But it soon becomes clear that someone is trying to make sure Mia doesn’t stay in Little Pondale….

Reading Next – The Woolgrower’s Companion by Joy Rhoades
Australia 1945. Until now Kate Dowd has led a sheltered life on Amiens, her family’s sprawling sheep station in northern New South Wales. The horrors of war have for the most part left her untouched. But with her father succumbing to wounds he’s borne since the Great War, the management of the farm is increasingly falling on Kate’s shoulders.
With only the sheep-rearing book The Woolgrower’s Companion to guide her, Kate rises to the challenge. However the arrival of two Italian POW labourers unsettles not only the other workers, but Kate too — especially when she finds herself drawn to the enigmatic Luca Canali.
Then she receives devastating news. The farm is near bankrupt and the bank is set to repossess. Given just eight weeks to pay the debt, Kate is now in a race to save everything she holds dear.

Since I don’t read many romances I haven’t read any of your books.

Thank you for visiting. I tend to go through a spate of romances and then none for a while. I read more thrillers theses days.
All are new for me 😀
Glad I can showcase a few new authors to you.
I love your selections! I have to read The Woolgrower’s Companion. Here is my WWW: https://silverbuttonbooks.com/2018/06/20/www-wednesday-june-20-2018/
Thank you. I’m yet to start The Woolgrower’s Companion. It has some great reviews though, so hoping it is a wonderful read.
Haven’t read any of these, but that’s an adorable cover on The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane. https://teripolen.com/2018/06/20/www-wednesdays-what-am-i-reading-amreading-3/comment-page-1/#comment-13918
Agree the cover is gorgeous – very summery.
The Woolgrower’s Companion sounds interesting because of the time period and the setting. It sounds a bit like a cross between A Town Like Alice and a couple of other historical fiction novels I’ve read set in WW2 – Shelter by Sarah Franklin and Mussolini’s Island by Sarah Day.
Here’s my WWW link: https://whatcathyreadnext.wordpress.com/2018/06/20/www-wednesdays-20th-june-18/
I’ve not read any of those books. I’m not normally one for historical fiction but thought I would give it a go as it sounded very intriguing.
The Cottage on Lily Pond Lane looks like fun. I love when someone inherits a cottage…and usually there are conditions to keeping it, which add to the story. Thanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
You’re very welcome. It was a great read. Can’t wait to get started on the other parts of it.
