(I did go to a ball at the Ritz and that brought back memories). The Misinterpretation of Tara Jupp
The post-war era was of interest to me, and so I wanted to give a new author a try and read a book outside my specific genre, and I'm glad I did, but I honestly can't recommend the book as much as some of the avid readers have done in the Goodreads reviews that led me to it in the first place. It is unashamedly 'girly' and romantic, but a cut above some popular chick-lit. I loved this book. I Capture The Castle (Vintage Classics) Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.

I gave this book to my friend for Christmas because I wanted at least one more person to find delight in reading this story, and to feel as uplifted and have such a big smile on the face like I did and had.
The History of Love (Penguin Essentials) Very charming coming of age tale set in 1950's London.
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice is a book I discovered in the bargain section. Charming coming of age romance with a little mystery thrown in. In the midst of this, Penelope meets Charlotte Ferris and her life is changed forever.Nothing earth-shattering, and no secrets whatsoever Enjoyed the era and the Johnny and Elvis references haha I generally don't buy Kindle books in that price range on a whim and so I had high hopes for the book.

The Island: The million-copy Number One bestseller 'A moving and absorbing holiday read' The summary on the book make it seem light-hearted or silly (not that those are bad thigns), but I have to say that this is one of the most engagingly, beautifully, thoughtfully written books I’ve read. The sort of book that you can't put down because you just have to know what happens next. Please try againSorry, we failed to record your vote.
And that's good news, because you'll come to care about the flawed but likable people you meet here. I am always in love with books that involve amusing characters, a little history, a smatter of fashion, and of course, love. Easy to read. Absolutely charming. I love this book so much - best comin of age story I have ever read - even great as an adult! Well, written perspective of a girl on the verge of womanhood in post-WWII England.
