About Me

Louise Gregory is writer, coach, and facilitator, and with a background in psychology Louise balances writing with a full time job developing organisational leaders and teams and looking after two daughters. She finds rare moments of peace while reading and running (sadly impossible to do at the same time), and is on social media far more often than she should be.

I really enjoyed This Time Next Year. It’s reall I really enjoyed This Time Next Year. It’s really interesting reading as a writer. I could really see the individual journeys of the characters, even minor ones. The MC had backstories that explained their behaviour. There was tension & conflict, but in a nice, safe, domestic way. I mean that completely positively. I’ve talked before about The Archers, the worlds longest running soap, which is masterful at creating realistic tension & conflict out of everyday things. 

If I have one teeny tiny criticism it’s that party of the MCs journey was getting fit & slimmer. It’s a bit of a trope & wasn’t really necessary. But it wasn’t dwelt upon, so no biggie. As well as being a romantic comedy & accessible, read there was some really gorgeous language in the book. Definitely recommend.

I’m not generally a fan of thrillers, but Ruth W I’m not generally a fan of thrillers, but Ruth Ware’s always sound interesting, though this was the first of hers I’ve picked up. I liked the exploration of relationships, and the characters were unusually likeable for this genre. Will try some more of hers.

Yesterday before tier 4 kicked in I made a quick t Yesterday before tier 4 kicked in I made a quick tour of some charity shops. They were the thing I missed most during Lockdown 1. I found this gorgeous leather case for £4 in @glosemmaus along with an Agatha Christie I haven’t yet read. Don’t worry, I’ll make up for it when they reopen.

But I picked this one to read because it’s quite short & I have a short attention span at the moment 😁 I really enjoyed it, well written & evocative. Can’t wait to read her others.

This was another reread for me. I love @mhairimcf This was another reread for me. I love @mhairimcf books. The characters are always real, with real jobs & real problems; very different to the Louise Bagshawe rereads!. She’s a definite auto buy for me (or auto borrow - sorry Mhairi - hope you’re registered for PLR 😁)
