Lunch in Paris - Elizabeth Bard
Oh to be in love in Paris and to be cooking and eating such delicious food. I was afraid that this might be a bit 'Eat-Pray-Love-ey' however it was much better written and Bard is a much more likeable character

Book Number Twenty Six - Mini Shopaholic
Another light easy read. You can't help but laugh when Becky Bloomwood is around.

Book Number Twenty Five - Shopaholic Ties the Knot
Shopaholic Ties the Knot - Sophie Kinsella
Perfect end of night shift/adjusting back to daylight hours easy and gratifying reading. This is no Pulitzer or Orange Prize winner but it provides likeable characters, an easily readable plot and a laugh or two.
Book Number Twenty Four - Olive Kitteridge
Olive Kitteridge - Elizabeth Strout
The 2009 Pulitzer winner is a collection of short stories connected by the central character of Olive Kitteridge. Although it was very well written the stories could have been in a different order at times as the book seemed to jump from one place to another almost too quickly. The writing, the development of the characters and the ability to evoke emotions are faultless.

Book Number Twenty Three - The Swimmer
The Swimmer - Roma Tearne
One of the best books I have read all year with a subject closer to my heart than I expected
Book Number Twenty Two - Touchy Subjects
Touchy Subjects - Emma Donoghue. A nice collection of short stories - most of them entertaining but certainly not to the standard of Jhumpha Lahiri
Book Number Twenty One - Pieces of my Heart
Pieces of my Heart - Sinead Moriarty
A nice light hearted read - but certainly no Marian Keyes
