  I loved this. I loved this and it's sparkly cover. Yes, sparkles!When I see books by Katie Flynn, and indeed other authors of the romantic-saga-type genre, I think Oh, I know what I'm in for. These are the books I turn to when I need something which will make my heart swell and put a huge smile on my face. But boy, this was different. Right from the first pages I knew that although it would still most likely follow the usual formula, there was so...

  this is the first Katie Flynn book I have read, and I didn't know of her subject matter when I started this - in fact I didn't even realise it was set in Liverpool! Stories set around WW2 aren't really my type of story, but I did enjoy this one. Unlike the Annie Groves saga I read earlier in the year, this has few ups and downs, and is set over nearly a decade rather than a few months. It is a gentle weaving story, intertwining the lives of sever...

  Loved this book by Katie Flynn. The artwork on the cover is really lovely and the story does not disappoint. The old adage of never judging a book by it's cover is so not true with this book.Recommended.

  Not one of my usual genres of choice, was tempted by Christmas in title (as it was Xmas), an easy read, but predictable once the love aspect came in.

  I gotta be honest, the only reason I have read this book was because of its cover. It is truly beautiful and has sparkles on it, which I am always drawn to. So therefore, I have read the book because it had sparkles on it, which is I agree, wrong. However, the book was quite boring, and nothing was really happening, but when the storyline become more interesting, the writer only gave us glimpses of the scenes I wanted to read, and then swapped to...

  Katie Flynn's A Christmas to Remember (Random House Adult Trade, digital galley) is one of several books by popular British authors to be released globally as e-books. Flynn's warm-hearted tale is a bit soapy and predictable, covering seven years after World War II as young Tess Williams grows up in Liverpool, where food is still rationed and times are hard. Living with her grandmother Edie above a hat shop, bright Tess makes friends with widower...

  All along, I had planned to give this book four stars. It is hard to describe what it is about...it doesn't necessarily have a plot. Most of the time when I was listening, it felt kind of like an Anne of Green Gables book. Not really "about" anything...just a sweet story of a girl and her gran. For the most part, it was really clean. Then about a half an hour before the end of the book, she put in a description that was totally unnecessary and re...

  I really enjoyed this book. We meet Tess, a young girl, just after the Second World War. She's bright and as a result she gets bullied by the popular girls. However that all changes when Snowy White comes to her rescue. As the years pass we see Tess come into her own, and she is torn between her boyfriend Snowy and her childhood friend Jonty. Not only that but she is extremely jealous of her gran's blossoming relationship with Albert. However dra...

  I have loved Katie Flynn's book since, oh...forever and never been disappointed.This story is about a young girl, her Grandmother, the kids that are bullying her and a shop owner. It all ties in nicely as all of Katie's previous books have also.Kept me enthralled through out, and definitely should be on your Christmas books to be read. The only downside to this story was the name she chose for someone, I didn't want know whether to laugh or defla...

  a really good read about a young girl living in the north just after the second world war and charts her growing up. through all the trials and tribulations she achieves what she wants and realises the worth of true friendship highlights the differences between the north and the south, the latter being so much more friendlier with their neighbours and those around them plus more family drivenperfect for putting your feet up and getting lost in be...

  This was a lovely read, set just post war. Tess comes back home from her evacuation to a farm in the country and struggles to cope with city children at school. A local lad takes her under his wing and any bullying stops. She runs a pet shop when she leaves school- helped by the animal husbandry she learnt whilst staying on the farm with Jonty. She goes back on a working holiday a couple of times.

  Charming novel set in post-WW2 Liverpool and rural Norfolk. An orphaned girl has difficulty settling into city life, but once she has done so, discovers her business acumen. She and the woman who took her in both find happiness, but only after taking a long time to sort out their feelings. There is lots of good period detail.

  This was an enjoyable holiday coming of age story. I really enjoyed the characters, especially Tess, and the storyline. I liked the small English village Christmas setting. This was my first book by Flynn, but I will be looking for more by her. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

  This was my first Katie Flynn book and I'll be reading more. I found it a little difficult to get in to to begin with, as I couldn't work out where the story was going, not knowing Flynn's style. Once I got in to the characters I really enjoyed it. I loved the Norfolk connection. I was willing Tess not to marry "xxxx"!! A real heart warming tale. Ps loved the sparkly cover!

  A gentle festive read , just the thing to relax with . Does not require much thought but tells a reasonable of a little predictable tale .

  Different from what I usually read but it was a sweet story if a little un-exciting.

  I loved this book. A tale of how family pulls together and how romance can blossom. A great Christmas read.

  I was rather disapointed by this story, albeit the actual story was ok, but it is not at all a christmassy book as the title rather promises.
