The Yorkshire Pudding Club - Milly Johnson

Sadly my to-be-read book list seems to be growing by the day, and a visit to my parents last week hasn't helped at all with the size of it...I ended up bringing another 5 books home with me! Luckily my mum had a book I've been wanting to read for a while so I eagerly started it this weekend. I've read rave reviews about it on a few book-sites I am a member of so I was expecting a pretty good read, and I certainly wasn't let down! The Yorkshire Pudding Club is the debut novel by Milly Johnson, and what a stonker of a debut it is too. Elizabeth, Helen and Janey are all in their late thirties, and happily settled in their careers and in their relationships. ...  Read the complete review

The story follows the pregnancies of three friends Helen, Janey and Elizabeth who ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit I had never heard of Milly Johnson a few weeks ago, I spotted this book on Amazon and the cover caught my eye. On closer inspection of the blurb the book jumped into my trolley. I am the type of person who judges a book by the cover, I know, I know, all wrong but chick lit books are just so pretty, all colourful and I love the feeling when you handle a new book for the first time. I was so excited when this book came through the letter box and I wasn't disappointed when I finally got to read it. I HAVE to go out and buy Milly Johnson's two other books tomorrow. The Yorkshire Pudding Club is her first novel followed by A Spring Affair and The Birds and the ...  Read the complete review
