'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 ...

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!

Interview with Cecelia Ahern, author of 'Lyrebird'

Hello Darling Readers, I’m thrilled to bring you a very special Q&A on the blog today – with Irish author Cecelia Ahern!   She’s the author of bestselling book (turned into tearjerker movie) P.S. I Love You , and another favourite book and film adaptation of mine – Love, Rosie . She’s also responsible for one of my favourite (much-missed!) comedy shows, Samantha Who? Cecelia Ahern’s latest book is Lyrebird , which I’m reading now and absolutely loving!   So without further ado, here’s a special December treat for you … *** Q:     Earlier this year you totally switched things up and released your first young adult debut in Flawed . What made you want to write for teens? And how was it harder/easier than writing for adults?  The story decided it for me. While I’d been asked for years if I would write for Young adults, my response was, ‘I will if I get the idea’. I’m not the kind of writer who decides a genre first, I really follow the ideas. When Flawed ...

'Daisy Jones and The Six' by Taylor Jenkins Reid

From the BLURB:  There was Daisy, rock and roll force of nature, brilliant songwriter and unapologetic drug addict, the half-feral child who rose to superstardom.  There was Camila, the frontman’s wife, too strong-willed to let the band implode – and all too aware of the electric connection between her husband and Daisy.  There was Karen, ice-cool keyboardist, a ferociously independent woman in a world that wasn’t ready for her.  And there were the men surrounding them: the feuding, egotistical Dunne brothers, the angry guitarist chafing on the sidelines, the drummer binge-drinking on his boat, the bassist trying to start a family amid a hedonistic world tour. They were creative minds striking sparks from each other, ready to go up in flames.  It’s never just about the music… Late contender for one of my FAVE books of 2019 - 'Daisy Jones and the Six' by Taylor Jenkins Reid. I loved her other book, 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo' so I shouldn’t be surprised t...
