The Single Mums Move On - Janet Hoggarth

Buy Here Prologue The East Dulwich Forum 26 July 2014 Re: Loud House Party near Terry’s Tool Hire Posted by: Fiwith2dogs 10.58 p.m. Can anyone else hear the hideous party coming from behind Terry’s Tool Hire? WTF is it? Someone’s singing fucking reggae on a PA system at eleven at night. People need to sleep. Re: Loud House Party near Terry’s Tool Hire Posted by: Neighbour12 11.05 p.m. It’s those annoying people in the Mews behind the tool hire place. Call the noise police. Shut those idiots down. They’re always celebrating for no reason. Number seven is usually to blame. 27 July 2014 Re: Loud House Party near Terry’s Tool Hire Posted by: Linzicatlady64 12.04 a.m. It’s still going and I can hear it down by the Plough. I’ve called the noise police. Cannot believe people are so selfish. Re: Loud House Party near Terry’s Tool Hire Posted by Fiwith2dogs 12.11 a.m. As much as I want those fuckers to get in trouble, I don’t think you can hear i

Forget My Name - J.S. Monroe

Buy Here My bed is comfortable – white sheets that feel like expensive Egyptian cotton – and Laura has put a handful of freshly picked wild flowers in a miniature milk bottle on my painted bedside cupboard. The kindness of strangers. The room itself is just as I described it to Laura and Tony earlier. Perfect for a child, although the colours may be a bit muted.             Starting with my arrival at the airport, I begin to write down everything that I did: trying to report my lost handbag, travelling here by train, meeting Laura and Tony, visiting the surgery, going to the pub quiz tonight. I don’t record anything personal about anyone, as I already feel like public property and have no doubt that whatever I write down will be read by others – doctors, police, mental-health staff. They all mean well, I’m sure, but I need to be careful. At the top of the paper I write: ‘read this when you wake up.’             Laura is still downstairs. She’s behaving so strangely towards

The Garden on Holly Street - Megan Attley

Buy Here I really enjoyed this book. It was such an easy read with a great plot line, which is not something you always get with easy reads. I really loved the characters in this book, each of them had their own back story but it wasn't as though they were hiding or you never found them out. These were reviled so that you could get to know the characters more. The love between them all is so nice to see and makes you wish you had that relationship with your neighbours. Its great how something so small as a garden can bring people from the most unlikely backgrounds together. Throughly enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read more by this author. It would be a great addition to any holiday you are going on. Perfect summer read.  4 stars
