Thank you to Rachel from rachel's Random Resources for inviting me to participate in the Publication Day for the second instalment in Liz Davies's Ticklemore series. Happy Publication Day to the Ticklemore Tattler! The Ticklemore Tattler Sometimes you have to write your own future… The life of former journalist Juliette Seymour has been quiet and unassuming. Up until now, she’s been concentrating on running the local newspaper and raising her daughter. But all that is about to change when Juliette is informed that the Ticklemore Tattler is to fold and that she’ll be out of a job. She begins to wonder whether she can buy the newspaper and try to make a go of it herself. Aware that she needs some advice she contacts Oliver Pascoe, little knowing that when her old colleague re-enters her life, his help isn’t the only thing she wants him for! As she begins to fall in love, however, what she doesn’t realise is that Oliver has something he’s keeping from her. A gorgeously uplifting story, perfect for fans of Holly Hepburn, Heidi Swain, and Isabelle Broom. Purchase Link - mybook.to/TicklemoreTattler My thoughts: It was such a pleasure to come back to the wonderful village of Ticklemore and find out how the characters from Liz Davies's The Ticklemore Toy Shop are getting on with their life. This book tells the story of inimitable Julliette Seymore, The Ticklemore Tattler one and only journalist/ photographer/ reporter /editor-in-chief and her fight for the newspaper she couldn't imagine her life without. Of course, the Ticklemore community is going to rally behind her and pull all the stops to help her save this important part of the village history and present life. The characters Liz creates are so well-written: we get to know everything about Juliette's life, her likes and dislikes, her motivations, what made her the person she is now, her thoughts and her feelings. Juliette gave up the hectic life of a London political reporter, once she gotpregnant and came back to her home village to give birth to and raise her daughter. Now that Brooke has left the nest, Juliette may be feeling a bit lonely, but she has her paper to keep her busy. Until the owner gives her the dreadful news. He is going to close the newspaper that has been struggling to break even for years and Juliette needs to start looking for anew job elsewhere. Juliette asks her former colleague, Oliver Pascoe to give her some ideas on how she can save the paper. With both of them free and unattached and quite similar in their atttudes and values, perhaps, a bit of romance is on the horizon? I loved everything about the setting ( I hope Liz continues adding more books to the series), but what I appreciated the most about this book was the choice to focus on the protagonists in the age category that doesn't getmuch attention: both Juliette and Oliver are in their early fifties, but they need love, respect, understanding, support, and romance in their lives as much as anybody else. Fans of Liz Davies are going tobe delighted with this heartwarming story and I am wishing the book all the success it deserves! Thank you to Rachel from Rachel's Random Resources and the author for the complimentary copy. All opnions are my own and were not influenced in any way. Author Bio Liz Davies writes feel-good, light-hearted stories with a hefty dose of romance, a smattering of humour, and a great deal of love. She’s married to her best friend, has one grown-up daughter, and when she isn’t scribbling away in the notepad she carries with her everywhere (just in case inspiration strikes), you’ll find her searching for that perfect pair of shoes. She loves to cook but isn’t very good at it, and loves to eat - she’s much better at that! Liz also enjoys walking (preferably on the flat), cycling (also on the flat), and lots of sitting around in the garden on warm, sunny days. She currently lives with her family in Wales, but would ideally love to buy a camper van and travel the world in it.
