Postscript by Cecilia Ahern


If you loved P.S. I Love you, then you have to read this one. The Sequel to the original it follows Holly in the years after Gerry's death.
Holly is still living in the house she shared with Gerry but is about to embark on the next step of her new relationship, moving in with her boyfriend Gabriel, when a podcast she does on the death of Gerry and his letters leads her down a new path, helping others who are terminally ill.  The P.S. I Love You Club.
Gabriel isn't happy about it but it is something that Holly wants to do and so she sets out to helps others write their letters to their loved ones for them to discover after their deaths.  The story follows Holly and the members of the club that she helps, the friendships she forms and the help that she offers. 
An amazing story - though even though I felt that it was not as good as the original story it still had me desperate to read it and find out what happens to all of the characters.  Yes there are some really sad bits but there are also some lovely heartwarming bits too, some laughter and a few tears (from me). All of the characters were beautifully described, their stories realistic and the help that Holly gives them, touching to the end.

Four stars from me.

Can you see me? by Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott

Some books grip you, others don't. Some take me for ever to read and some I can plough through in a couple of evenings. This book I put in my amazon wish list and I published it on the Acts of Kindness UK group on Facebook, if you haven't seen it go and have a look, there's lots of loveliness out there in a world of such uncertainty at the moment. I received it in the post from someone I know (but not very well) and it was lovely to receive it. The story is written from the perspective of Tally (Natalia) an 11 year old with Autism who is about to start secondary school. It includes diary entries written by Libby Scott who is also autistic and sheds a real light into what it is like living with the condition. The story goes through the every day life of an autistic child, the things they face, the emotions and anxiety that goes through their heads constantly. This is put across as Tally' experiences, that no one likes her, that she's different from everyone e...

Sherbet Lane stationery box - May

I was actually away on holiday last week when my happy post arrived. It's always a nice feeling when you see it on your doormat but even nicer when you know it's at home waiting for you. We arrived home early on Monday morning and no I didn't open it straight away. Later onMonday afternoon i got to sit down and open it on my own. This months theme is Spring Clean, very apt for my house at the moment. We have been having lots of work done over the past seven weeks which includes a new kitchen which arrives this Monday! I'm a little excited about that! So in amongst all the chaos of my house - I get this, and as always its perfect. Inside wrapped in tissue paper as always, is a journal, a Paperchase pen, three organisation sheets to help you organise your life, a decluttering one, a cleaning one and one for things you like doing. There is also an art card with the quote, "This could be the beginning of anything you want." That's going i...

The 1000 Year Old Boy by Ross Welford

I read this with a student (Home Ed) that I teach. The story is about Alve (Alfie) who is 1000 years old. He is befriended by Aiden and Roxy who at first don’t believe him but there’s something different about this 11 year old that doesn’t quite make sense. From his knowledge of historical events, to the way he speaks. After a fire destroys his home and what little family he has, he gets put into care and has to rely on Aiden and Roxy to help him lead a normal life and finally grow up normally.  This book is amazingly well written and left so many questions that we were desperate to discover the answers to. We couldn’t put the book down and wanted to continue reading it just to find out the how’s and why. Lots of twists and turns, and lots of adventure to keep anyone happy.  Recommended for good readers in year 5 and above.  5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
