My review:🌟🌟🌟🌟

The Keeper of Stories has Janice, a cleaner, who collects the stories of people she meets.  She feels it’s the way to really understand someone.

When she starts cleaning for Mrs B, a crafty widow in her nineties, she finds someone who wants to hear her stories.  But Janice doesn’t think she has a story to tell, or at least not one that she wants to tell anyone.

Janice’s collection of stories is entertaining, along with the names she gives people like Mrs ‘YeahYeahYeah’, and is a mostly light hearted read.

The Keeper of Stories was published on 28th February 2022, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:🌟🌟🌟

Revenge Wears Prada is the second book in the series, and it’s set 10 years after the first book.  Andy and Emily work together, and hae a wedding magazine called The Plunge, that they started 3 years ago, which has been a very popular magazine with the audience they’re trying to attract – people who like Runway!

Andy has fallen in love and is getting married.  With that, and a popular magazine, what more could she want in life?  And you know this is when things start to go wrong!

I find these books to be quite hard to read, as I hate the way the character’s treat each other.  I will be finishing the series with the third book, but I probably won’t read anything else by Lauren Weisberger.

You can read my review of The Devil Wears Prada.

Revenge Wears Prada was published on 4th June 2013, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

Adults by Emma Jane Unsworth is about Jenny McLaine hitting rock bottom – she has a social media addiction, a home that she can’t afford on her own, a famous ex-boyfriend, and she can’t get out of her own head.  

It’s a hard book to read in places when Jenny’s having so many issues, I did enjoy the story as a whole!

Adults was published on 30th January 2020, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

My review:????

The Cancer Ladies Running Club by Josie Lloyd has Keira discovering that she has cancer, which makes her head spin – she has children, a husband, and a business to run!  And running isn’t something that she expects to get into, but a chance offer sees her life change.

There’s also issues at her business – it’s an independent high street shop, which she runs with her friend, whose husband has recently joined the company.  Keira doesn’t know how she feels about that, and then things start going wrong.

This is a heart warming book, with lovely friendships, hidden talents and love.  There are high and low points throughout the book, and it is trying to show us the reality of cancer.

The Cancer Ladies Running Club was published on 13th May 2021 and is available from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.

The Best Things by Mel Giedroyc has Sally Parker, a wife and mother, and also a woman struggling to see where she fits in life.  Her husband, Frank, has always provided well, and so there is a nanny, housekeeper, driver for Frank and so on.  

When Frank’s business goes belly up, life changes suddenly and dramatically, and Sally has to see if she too can change

I found this book to be quite slow in pace, I liked the ending, but found the story to be very full of characters and story arcs that didn’t need to be there.

You might know Mel Giedroyc a little better as Mel from Mel and Sue on Bake Off.

The Best Things was published on 1st April 2021, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones (signed edition) and Bookshop.org.

I’m afraid I couldn’t find anywhere where you can follow Mel Giedroyc.
