This was just what I needed to read - a fun, fast-reading romance with captivating banter and characters who were caring people who did kind things (despite what they believed about each other at the beginning). I loved that Liesel, the main female character was intelligent and Cooper respected it - thought it didn't stop him from being attracted to her or ribbing her. And the oversized dad and goofy brothers were great additions to the story.
The only thing I hate worse than Christmas is Cooper Freaking Kellogg.Liesel:My reason for hating Christmas is simple: my mom loved Christmas, and now she’s gone. My reason for hating Cooper Kellogg is also simple: he annoys the jingle out of me. The all-star, all-ego player is on the injured list, and—lucky me!—we’re assigned to work on a special project together. Between awkward team events, a Christmas escape room, and some very inconvenient mistletoe, Coop and I are getting way too close for comfort.Then we’re trapped in a blizzard overnight, and Coop’s cocky grin slips, showing the man behind the…

In reading this novel again as an adult I was looking for an understanding of what this book provided me as an eleven year old girl. The answers were still there; safety & security, feeling seen, kinship, and perhaps the understanding of duty vs desire. Jane is fiercely independent, which is a trait I have long admired and was as a child determined to emulate. She is determined to find her way, following her personal beliefs and struggling to rise above the status of abused orphan she started from. Beyond all of these deep themes, the story is engaging and moves along quickly.
Introduction and Notes by Dr Sally Minogue, Canterbury Christ Church University College.
Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.
She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.
A Duke with rigid opinions, a Lady whose beliefs conflict with his, a long disputed parcel of land, a conniving neighbour, a desperate collaboration, a failure of trust, a love found despite it all.
Alexander Cavendish, Duke of Ravensworth, returned from war to find that his father and brother had…

'In Persuasion, Jane Austen is beginning to discover that the world is larger, more mysterious, and more romantic than she had supposed' Virginia Woolf
Jane Austen's moving late novel of missed opportunities and second chances centres on Anne Elliot, no longer young and with few romantic prospects. Eight years earlier, she was persuaded by others to break off her engagement to poor, handsome naval captain Frederick Wentworth. What happens when they meet again is movingly told in Austen's last completed novel. Set in the fashionable societies of Lyme Regis and Bath, Persuasion is a brilliant satire of vanity and pretension,…
As a writer, I’m fascinated by relationships, what makes them work and what might make them fail. And I’ve always been gripped by the power of two people who try to love each other, no matter how different they may be or what obstacles they face. I honestly believe that two people in love are far more than the sum of their parts and can create something magical that wouldn’t have been there without them. So, yes, I’m a romantic at heart but, even in these cynical times, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. I hope you love the books on this list as much as I do.
I love this book because, even though it’s a crime story, it’s also a rollercoaster ride through the story of the marriage of Louise and Niall, who are both in various ways involved in the crime.
Each person is lying for different reasons and each of them is terrified to tell the truth to each other for fear of how the other person might react. The plot takes them through moments of dark despair, utter dishonesty, anger, and even hatred, all of which is somehow part and parcel of the marriage they have created.
There is hope, however, and they come to realise a deeper truth about themselves and their relationship which, for me, was incredibly moving in an unexpected way.

Just from the couple of books of hers that I've read so far, Moriarty has an amazing way of evoking emotion and fascination about her very real characters with all their virtues and flaws on display. She drops bits that seem like simple world-building but are relevant later in a way that looks effortless but grabs you when you put it together.
With Apples Never Fall in particular, the examination of one's life and choices through the lens of uncertainty, suspicion, and mystery was quite gripping and provoked some personally relevant emotions and life examination in the reader (me).
From Liane Moriarty, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers, comes Apples Never Fall, a novel that looks at marriage, siblings, and how the people we love the most can hurt us the deepest.
The Delaney family love one another dearly―it’s just that sometimes they want to murder each other . . .
If your mother was missing, would you tell the police? Even if the most obvious suspect was your father?
This is the dilemma facing the four grown Delaney siblings.
