If you’re a fan of psychological… Read More »

Tessa Harris is becoming a fairly regular guest on Being Anne, and it’s always a real pleasure to welcome her. I’ve never managed to plan in the reading of one of her books, but my summer break will give me that much wished for opportunity.

I know I’ve mentioned before – several times! – that I’d love to read every single book published by those lovely people at Choc Lit, but there just aren’t enough hours in a day. I really love the look of Summer at the Art Café by Sue McDonagh, published as an ebook on 15th May and… Read More »
