THE STORY: 'The Pretty Delicious Café' reminds us of the joy and hazards to be found in family, friends and good food and that being a little bit weird isn’t necessarily a bad thing. On the outskirts of a small seaside town, Lia and her friend Anna work serious hours running their restored café. The summer season is ...upon them, they have Anna’s wedding to plan and Lia’s ex-boyfriend seems not to understand it’s over. When a gorgeous stranger taps on Lia’s window near midnight and turns out not to be a serial killer, she feels it’s a promising sign. But no one comes without a past, and his arrives in the form of a four-year-old son. And what with an ex who thinks he can just take what he wants, and a brother who thinks he shouldn’t even want what he wants, life starts to get a little complicated.

06.01.2022 HOT READ: 'Nine Days' by Toni Jordan is one of our hot reads on #BorrowBox right now. THE STORY: It is 1939 and although Australia is about to go to war, it doesn’t quite realise yet that the situation is serious. Deep in the working-class Melbourne suburb of Richmond young Kip Westaway, failed scholar and stablehand, is living the most important day of his life. Kip’s momentous day is one of nine that will set the course for each member of the Westaway clan in the years t...hat follow. In 'Nine Days' Toni Jordan has harnessed all the spiky wit, compassion and lust for life that drew readers in droves to 'Addition' and 'Fall Girl'. Ambitious in scope and structure, triumphantly realised, this is a novel about one family and every family. It is about dreams and fights and sacrifices. And finally, of course, it is as it must be about love. BORROW: You can download the eAudiobook and eBook right now, for free on #borrowbox, with your library card. You can also reserve the book on our library app, website or at your local library. #clarenceregionallibrary #yourlibraryyourplace #bookstagram #booklovers #bibliophile #bookchat #bookaddict #booknerd #bookgeek #bookshelf #eBook #eaudiobook #audiobook #talkingbook #goodreads #greatreads #instabook #literature #lovetoread #lovebooks #readinglife #readinglist #nswpubliclibraries #librariesmatter
