Unravelled - Briony Marshall @lovebooksgroup #lovebookstours @brionywrites @thewritinghall

 


Excited to be a part of the book tour for this book today.



Synopsis:


“For crying out loud! I can’t even cast on now.”


Claire has never unravelled anything before, being a confident knitter. But now, to her dismay, everything she creates is a disaster, riddled with dropped stitches and glaring holes. It’s almost as if her hands have a mind of their own. Maybe it’s because her longest relationship to date has just ended, or perhaps it has something to do with the fact her career is on the ropes.


“Don’t get frustrated with your needles! The problem lies with the knitter, not the knitting,” said Adrian, owner of Oddballs wool shop. Following his advice, in the desperate hope it will cure her woolly woes, Claire begins to turn her life around. Her grand plan involves FishTank, the online dating site. She convinces Adrian that if they sign up and find love, their problems will be solved (and she’ll have at least one area of her life sorted!). The trouble starts when he has far more luck in the romance department than she does.


But it’s little wonder Claire can’t throw herself into dating. She’s already found her perfect match.


A must-read for avid knitters and those with a passion for crafting, this comical yarn will melt any reader’s heart.


Will they? Won't they? Romance enthusiasts will be rooting for the pair to be knitted together, forever!

Review:

Being a crafter and having done my fair share of knitting over the years this book appealed to me immediately. You don't have to be a crafter or knitter to enjoy the book though. But the bits where I melted at the description of yarns, their colours and a wool shop, might not be quite the same for you!

The book begins with Claire (28) having a domestic with her boyfriend of two years, it doesn't go well and so she's on Fish Tank (an online dating site) looking for Mr Right. But before that she goes looking for a self help book and literally bumps into Adrian. When she asked him what he did and he replied he owned a wool shop, I might have let out a little squeal of delight! 

What follows is a will they won't they romance of a novel between two knitters.Complete with a wool shop and a stitch and bitch group of which some maturer members even have knitting inspired tattoos! To say I loved it would be an understatement. Once the wool shop appeared I never put the book down until I had finished reading it to the end.

If you are looking for a crafting hug along with a comical look at life, then this is the read for you. If you are a crafter then really all I can say is just read it. Only don't get too downhearted that you don't have a local wool shop like the one in the book or even an owner like Adrian to go with it.

I'm giving this book four out of five stars. My thanks to Love Book Tours and Briony for my copy to review.

No One Would Do What The Lamberts Have Done - Sophie Hannah

The Girl on the Train - Paula Hawkins

Description THE NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER. YOU DON'T KNOW HER. BUT SHE KNOWS YOU. Rear Window  meets  Gone Girl , in this exceptional and startling psychological thriller Review I must be one of the last people to read this book. I did apply for a review copy but unfortunately wasn't successful. I then waited for the book to come down in price which it didn't - so I decided I would buy it and read it straight away! I'm sure it will be a film and before anyone gives away what happens I felt I really needed to get it read, so it jumped the TBR queue. There is not much plot outline from the publisher as you can see in the description above, so there wasn't a lot to go on when I began to read the book. First of all the book jumps around date wise - past and present and also between the main characters. I did have a little trouble remembering who was who and which time frame we were in - but that soon settled down. I also had to re-read the beginning because I th...
