Novelicious Picks...Five Books with a Lovely Location
Books allow you to escape your own life, to delve into the life of another and to be elsewhere. There are some books that pull you in more than others - you just want to lift yourself up from where you’re sitting and immediately find yourself in the exact setting. It doesn’t have to be somewher...

I'm so pleased this has inspired you all.

Feasting on Romantic Comedy – Bara Brith from Eden's Garden by Juliet Greenwood
He placed something else by my side: a fat square slab of fruitcake. I swallowed. “I can't...” “Yes you can. Cook's best bara brith, all the way from Plas Eden. Best thing for those recovering their strength from a fever.” One of the things I love about a good book is when you get a merest w...
Fantastic, Anna. Big congrats!

The Secret Dreamworld of an Aspiring Author by Anna Bell – I Have News....
Regular readers of my column will know that one of my writing resolutions for this year was to get an agent, and I’m delighted to announce that I’ve just signed with Hannah Ferguson at the Marsh Agency. When Hannah first told me on the phone that she wanted to represent me I was flabbergasted...

No worries, Margaret. It is actually one of my favourite films of all time.

Feasting on Romantic Comedy: Raspberry Pavlova from Bridget Jones's Diary
I don't know about you, but I get such a buzz when a writer includes food of some description in her book, film or TV series. From tempting shortbread dunked in cocoa in Sally by Freya North, to brightly coloured cupcakes in Sex and The City, and that amazing chocolate cake in It's Complicated...
I love the sound of Pear Shaped. 'A novel about love, heartbreak and dessert.' Perfect.

Ten Books...About Body Image
With January and February being such hard, cold months, it's rather bizarre that we insist on punishing ourselves with New Year's resolutions to eat less and exercise more. No wonder many of us give up in the first week. For those who wish for a healthier life or for those that have already s...

Ten Books...Inspired by Austen
