Up with the Larks: Starting again in Cornwall - Tessa Hainsworth: Tessa had a hectic job with global company The Body Shop in London which involved 12 hour days and not spending much time with her two children and husband, when finally she realises that she can't carry on like this anymore they decide to relocate to South Cornwall, the scene of many idyllic family holidays.
However, like many people before and no doubt after them they discover that 'living the dream' is not as easy as is seems. House prices are sky high due to 'second homers' and jobs are few and far between, Tessa lands herself a job as a postie and their lives begin to turn around.
As she goes about her rounds and slowly becomes accepted by the locals they realise that their dream has indeed become a reality. Following the quirky customers, pets and not to mention letterboxes, this is a lovely wander down Cornish country lanes that will leave you feeling refreshed.
What to do when Someone Dies by Nicci French: Ellie Falkner's world crashes around her ears the day the police arrive at her door to say that her husband's car has left the road and been found burnt out, with two bodies inside.
Ellie's husband Greg Manning is one of the victims, but who is the female passenger and what relationship does she have to Greg?
Ellie descends into a world of grief and doubt - how well does she know her husband, has he been having an affair, why does everyone think he has, can she account for all his movements and work contacts, and how can she prove that he was an innocent, loving husband?
As she tries to come to terms with everything, and descends into an unreal existence, everyone begins to doubt her sanity, and the more she questions, the more the police begin to doubt her innocence. Another very atmospherically thrilling and compulsive read from the Nicci Gerard and Sean French partnership - you wont be able to put this down!
Vision in White - Nora Roberts: Childhood friends Mackensie, Parker, Laurel and Emmeline have formed a very successful wedding planning business together but, despite helping thousands of happy couples to organise the biggest day of their lives, all four women are unlucky in love.
Photographer Mackensie Elliott has suffered a tough childhood and has a bad relationship with her mother, which makes her wary of commitment, so when she meets Carter Maguire, she is unable to trust him.
A nice "girly" read, this is the first in the new Bride Quartet ,and we are already looking forward to the next title - A Bed of Roses.
Rhymetime: All the tots and minders helped staff celebrated National Bookstart Day at the last meeting on September 30. Rhymetime is currently on a break over the school tattie holidays - the next session will take place in Kirrie Library on Wednesday, October 28 at 9.15 am. All welcome!
