Mod Mob: Tuesday's Top 5 for your Bookshelf




A good book can sometimes be just as therapeutic as any pampering session!
I can’t think of anything more relaxing than curling up with a good book to switch off...and sometimes nod off!

This week I've put together a few of my top reads for you this summer. 

Set in remote Yorkshire during a hazy summer of 1920. This is  short uplifting romantic tale of love, loss and restoration.

A story of a girl from London and an American with a hidden agenda. They meet and embark on a road trip through Kennedy-era America in search of a medical guru. 
If you fancy a bit of scandal, this is a shocker and in parts sometimes very sad. It covers the suffering, disloyalties and love between Oscar and his long suffering wife. She was no angel herself, but was admiringly involved in women’s rights and ideals.

More than just an emotional soppy love story for the beach! This story that will make you laugh out loud and cry. A totally distracting tale of courage and making difficult decisions in life. I couldn't put it down.

A book that stays in your mind for a while after you've read it. A slow starter, but then takes your breath away with its shocking and sometimes disturbing twists. It questions motherhood and the responsibility as a parent. Kevin’ s horrific rampage is just the tip of the iceburg!

We would love to hear all about your favourite reads and authors, any recommendations welcome too!




Enjoy Emma X

  1. I loved We need to talk about Kevin when I read it. Even now, years later, I still think about it sometimes. Must give the others a try.
