Books to Herald New Beginnings

When you read about someone starting over in a book, it gives you a sense of wanting to do something different yourself or go somewhere different yourself doesn’t it?

These books will make you want to try something new that’s for sure!

Piglet – Lottie Hazell

The ultimate book of reinvention – Piglet has a childhood name that has stuck and she wants to shake off her old life and start anew. So she does….with unexpected consequences.

And if you don’t want to change, maybe get a different donut than the one you are used to – that cover will make you drool!

Man of Her Dreams – Sarra Manning

They say food is the way to a man’s heart, so if you want one of those, maybe use Piglet to attract the Man of Your Dreams? Sarra Manning knows. She’s tracked him down in London and so why not head there to see if you can find yours?

The Running Grave – Robert Galbraith

There’s a cult in this one. Now, I’m not suggesting a cult of course, but if you go somewhere for a while and then return home, you feel different don’t you? Robin certainly does. She enters the cult of her own free will but is there to study what goes on and report back to Strike. I needed a lie down in a nice hotel after reading this, so a new beginning of sorts. And one for the two leads possibly with THAT cliffhanger….

Mary – Anne Eekhout

You can’t argue that there is some kind of new start in this book. A new beginning indeed – a new character for one! When Frankenstein is born, there is now a monster where before there was not. A new being that has not been born but created. Can’t get any newer than that!

This is the story of Mary Shelley and how she came to write her iconic book.

Happiest Ever After – Milly Johnson

Now here is a woman who needs a fresh start – Polly Potter is surviving, not thriving. She used to love her job – until her mentor died and her new boss decided to make her life hell. She used to love her partner Chris – until he cheated on her, and now she can’t forget.

Milly Johnson does it again!
