'After I Do' by Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the BLURB: When Lauren and Ryan’s marriage reaches the breaking point, they come up with an unconventional plan. They decide to take a year off in the hopes of finding a way to fall in love again. One year apart, and only one rule: they cannot contact each other. Aside from that, anything goes. Lauren embarks on a journey of self-discovery, quickly finding that her friends and family have their own ideas about the meaning of marriage. These influences, as well as her own healing process and the challenges of living apart from Ryan, begin to change Lauren’s ideas about monogamy and marriage. She starts to question: When you can have romance without loyalty and commitment without marriage, when love and lust are no longer tied together, what do you value? What are you willing to fight for? This is a love story about what happens when the love fades. It’s about staying in love, seizing love, forsaking love, and committing to love with everything you’ve got. And above all, After I Do ...

The Secret

The Secret

MWF and ROMA 2016


Hello Darling Readers!

Have you noticed - I'm slowly getting back into the swing of reviewing things? Yay for me! I have missed updating the blog :) 

Just thought I'd interrupt the (now!) regularly scheduled reviewing to share some good news and events that are coming up ... 

I am very lucky to have FIVE session at this year's Melbourne Writers Festival - I get to chair events for the enviably talented duo of Vikki Wakefield and Claire Zorn, plus two authors you might have heard of - Rainbow Rowell and David Levithan? I get to ask Clementine Ford and Amy Gray their opinions on opinion writing - I think they'll have a few. Myself and Myke Bartlett will talk all about reviewing, and then I'll be teaming up with Sonia Nair for a fun and intense workshop on exactly how to write digital content and get your work published. Phew! 

All details of my MWF session can be found here: http://mwf.com.au/writer/danielle-binks/



And in other news ... I'm a finalist in the 2016 ROMA - the Romance Writers of Australia Media Award! Two of my Wheeler Centre Notes pieces are nominated this year - “It Takes a Village to Write Romance: The Surprising Rise of Collaborative Fiction” & "By Any Other Name: The Secret Lives of Romance Authors”!

And in extra good news, the third ROMA finalist is yet another Wheeler Centre creation - “The F Word: Romance” panel, featuring the wonderful Kat from BookThingo!

'Who’s That Girl?' by Mhairi McFarlane

From the BLURB: When Edie is caught in a compromising position at her colleagues' wedding, all the blame falls on her – turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different from your schooldays. Shamed online and ostracised by everyone she knows, Edie's forced to take an extended sabbatical – ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen. Easy, right? Wrong. Banished back to her home town of Nottingham, Edie is not only dealing with a man who probably hasn't heard the word ‘no' in a decade, but also suffering an excruciating regression to her teenage years as she moves back in with her widowed father and judgy, layabout sister. When the world is asking who you are, it's hard not to question yourself. Who's that girl? Edie is ready to find out. ‘Who’s That Girl?’ was the 2016 rom-com novel from UK author, Mhairi McFarlane. Okay – well – I broke my own damn rules with this one. I’d been so happily ploughing through Mhairi M...
