AS WEEKENDS GO by Jan Brigden

What if your entire life changed in the space of a weekend?

But no matter how amazing a weekend is, it’s always back to reality come Monday morning – isn’t it?
We hear that Alex's football opponents retweeted Jan's Tweet this week. Thank you Crystal Palace football club. You're stars!

 Personal Message from Jan Brigden:
When I was writing As Weekends Go, it hit home to me how isolating the whole process can be at times. Being my debut, I’d get anxious about how well it would be received and hoped with all my heart that if I was lucky enough to get published, people would enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed creating the characters. Well, I couldn’t have wished for more cheerleading and encouragement, so to all you lovely readers and bloggers, I thank you for your wonderful support, feedback and for any reviews you’ve kindly taken the time to write. It is all hugely valued and appreciated . And to any future readers of my book, thank you, and I hope you enjoy it,
Jan x

 Girl Having a Ball by Rhoda Baxter

Can Stevie learn to stand on her own two feet and follow her dreams? Or will she always be seen as “poor needy little Stevie”?

This is what people are saying:
~ This book gave me such wanderlust. I have been wanting to take another trip to London and while I was hearing about all of these places in Europe all I wanted to do was book a flight. Kirsty.
~ I enjoyed the different locations and kept expecting Brendan from the TV show "Coach Trip" to emerge at any second. If you fancy a little "get away from it all" read, this is your book. Tracey.
~ You're The One That I Want was a treat to read, a book that I thoroughly enjoyed, by an author that I am really loving every book I read of hers. Rachel.
