Louise Walters' debut novel Mrs. Sinclair's Suitcase is a touching work of historical fiction that is sure to tug at your heartstrings.

I finally got around to reading Graeme Simsion's The Rosie Project and it's follow-up The Rosie Effect. I devoured the first book, and while the second didn't quite live up to my expectations, it was still a great read.

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah has been one of my favourite reads this year. It is a captivating story about two French sisters trying to surive the German occupation of their country during the Second World War.
