Here are my answers to the questions A Couple of B’s asked

A book that freaked me out

Under the Skin by Michel Faber. This book really did get under my skin and creeped me out. I don’t know what I was expecting really, some kind of psychological thriller, which it was I suppose. However, it took many turns I was not expecting and I found it quite disturbing!

A book that made me ugly cry

What only one? I’m going for Last Christmas in Paris by Hazel Gaynor and Heather Webb which made me cry on the bus. Happy tears admittedly but a little embarrassing on the bus!

A book that made my heart flutter

Again tricky to choose one but a recent book I read which was so romantic and had such a gorgeous ending was All You Need is Love by Jessica Redland so I’m choosing that one.

A book that makes me feel like a kid

Anything by Enid Blyton. I loved her books as a child and read them to my own girls when they were younger. The Famous Five were probably my favourites of hers – I still have my old battered copies in my attic!

A book that makes me feel like an adult

I’m not sure that anyone ever feels like an adult do they? I suppose a sign of being a grown up is having cookbooks so I’m choosing my beloved and well used How to Be a Domestic Goddess by Nigella Lawson for this one.
