Hitched written by J F Murray and published by Pan Macmillan





Kate is all set to marry dental surgeon Norman and as the ultimate planner/control freak she has planned everything to a “T”!

With her three best friends, they head off on the hen part in Vegas – and the planning and itinerary fly out the window, especially when on the first night, she bumps into her ex Trevor, who is now a successful DJ. After far too many drinks and blacking out, Kate wakes up the next morning to find that in her drunken stupor she ended up marrying Trevor! Now all her perfect plans for the wedding to Norman have flown out the wedding. Trevour has agreed to sign annulment papers if Kate agrees to go out on three last dates with him. With her fairy tale wedding hanging in the balance, Kate agrees to his plan but will it end in happy ever after?

This book is absolutely hilarious!! I have often seen on Tik Tok and reading reviews of various books that people say "this was a real laugh out loud book for me!" but I've never experienced that until now!! I would be reading this in bed and laugh and then have to read the paragraph out loud to my partner and we would both be in fits of giggles. I especially adored "I knew Burger King when he was just a prince!!!" Fantastic!!

If I did have a few "icks" - the name of Norman aka Normie - for a character as strong as Kate, I hated the fact that she used "baby language" when talking to him, and the number of times she used it wound me up completely. Also Siobhan's constant sex talk and innuendos got a little tiring after a while, and she would have driven me mad if I'd been on a hen weekend with her!!!!

However! Saying that this book was wonderful and extremely funny and I could relate to it as I too, got married in Vegas, although my wedding was planned and the marriage lasted a little longer!!

When Life Interrupts Reading (And Why Books Always Wait For Us)

I've been very quiet on here over the last 18 months. Reading, something that usually anchors me, slipped quietly into the background, not because I didn't love it anymore, but because life asked me to put my energy elsewhere. The main reason is my mum. She's 89 and I adore her. Following a dementia diagnosis, she moved into residential care, a road I never imagined navigating, and one that came with a steep learning curve. In the early days there was a small silver lining, her care home was close enough that I could pop and visit her every day during my lunch hour and those visits mattered more than I can put into words. Over the last year though, her dementia has progressed very rapidly. There was pneumonia, and then on Christmas day sepsis. And as if that wasn't enough, a relative made the decision to move Mum to another care home further away from me, but nearer to her, meaning that I can no longer see her every day. Losing that routine felt like another quiet grief...

Maybe Next Christmas by Emma Heatherington

  Maybe Next Christmas" by Emma Heatherington was a delightful festive read that truly delivered in the end. While I found the beginning a little slow, once the story picked up, I was completely hooked and couldn’t put it down! Emma's storytelling and knack for building relatable, heartfelt characters shines through, making the journey worth it. The Christmas charm, along with themes of love and second chances, make this one feel as cozy as her other novels. Definitely recommended for fans of Christmas romances or anyone looking for a feel-good, warm festive read!
