Ok
I promise this will be the last chick-lit post for a while now. But I can't help but
to mention the latest book I've read from one of my favourite
authors, Sarah Addison Allen.
Sarah
Addison Allen is an author I come back to again and again. Her two
previous books The Sugar Queen and Garden Spells left me with such a
nice fuzzy feeling so I had high expectations of The Peach Keeper and
as always Addison Allen delivered.
To
me, that is what makes a favourite author, you can go back to them
over and over again, and they always deliver.

Coleman's best so far
I
go through periods when I read much from the same genre and a couple
of weeks over the summer, it was chick-lit. This time there was a mix
of authors I've read before and some new. First Cally Taylor's début
novel Heaven can wait, then there were books by Rowan Coleman, Sheila
O'Flangan and Sarah Addison Allen all authors I've read before.
Lessons in laughing out loud by Rowan Coleman is the third book I've read from her and I must say I think it is the best of her books so far. It had a bit of a dip towards the end, but then it picked back up again in the last chapters to end quite well.
I am still waiting for my library to purchase her newest book Happy home for broken hearts.

Supernatural excellence
If Sugar Queen left me with a craving for all things sweet, Garden spell definitely left me with a craving for a cosy, magical garden complete with a magic apple tree. I am always wary when it comes to stories about a magical world, so many times it can become childish and nothing more than a fairy tale. However, Sarah Addison Allen manages so well to keep it a natural, cosy, family story with strong emotions so that the supernatural elements comes naturally in the story rather than being forced.
A splendid read.
