"I found myself feeling jealous of the girls in these fabulous locations" Book Addict Shaun "Misbehaving in Miami was a light, easy, humorous and hot short read and I really can't wait for the troubles the girls are for sure going to put themselves into at their next stop. Roll on, Point us to Paris!" On My Bookshelf "this Summer Flings series is getting even better" Reviewed the Book Part 2 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories.

Not to mention Ciara finally comes up with a way to have her cake and eat it too! The ideal summer treat for those relaxing days soaking up the sun!

"If it was possible to give Point Us to Paris more than a five star rating, I would, because it's definitely my favourite of the three so far." Reviewed the Book "So far I'm really enjoying this series" Lost to Books "Okay so I don't like Paris but I did really like this book. I think that's more to do with Aimée's writing and the characters that she has created more than the city itself though... This installment to me felt shorter than the others, or maybe it's the fact that I'm now so addicted to the series that I'm reading them too fast." Book Addict Shaun Part 3 of Summer Flings - a fun, flirty and laugh out loud rom com series of short stories. Ciara would rather be anywhere else in the world than Paris. All the gooey eyed couples and handholding are making her miserable. But Elle doesn't have time for moping - not when she's got the three of them on the guest list of an exclusive club. So Ciara tries her best to enjoy the free champagne, the loft party looking over the Seine and a little harmless sexting - until they realize they've stumbled into a nightmare none of them were prepared for. The ideal summer treat for those relaxing days soaking up the sun!

Oisin McGann
¥9.71
A moving short story from the collection, BEYOND THE STARS, written and illustrated by a great Irish talent in children’s fiction today When his brother goes missing in action, Charley knows he has a duty to enlist for the army himself. Soon dispatched to the Somme, he and his comrades are far from home and living in fear of a faceless enemy. Cold and wet, letters from their loved ones in Ireland and well-meaning banter with each other are the only things that keep the soldiers going. But just at the moment the troops are given the command to go ‘over the top’ and cross no-man’s-land to face the enemy, Charley realises the precious letter from home that he’s been saving to read could have been about his brother and that maybe he should have read it after all. Terrified, Charley knows that whatever decision he makes at that moment could change his life for ever… A moving and affecting tale, brought to life by evocative illustrations. Look out for the other eleven stories - also available as e-shorts!
Margery’s Story
Margery’s Story
Duncan Barrett,Nuala Calvi
¥9.71
From the bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls and GI Brides, this is Margery’s story, one of three true accounts from the book The Girls Who Went to War. “‘Who does that man think he is?’ Margery muttered to a girl standing next to her. The words had slipped out before she could stop herself, but she realised, to her horror, that the warrant officer had heard them. ‘What was that?’ he demanded, striding over and fixing her with an angry stare. Margery gulped – but there was no going back now.” In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against Germany. The British Army stood at just over one and a half million men, while the Germans had three times that many, and a population almost twice the size of ours from which to draw new waves of soldiers. Clearly, in the fight against Hitler, manpower alone wasn’t going to be enough. Margery Pott signed up for the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, leaving her quiet home for the rigours of training, the camaraderie of the young women who worked together so closely and to face a war that would change her life forever. Overall, more than half a million women served in the armed forces during the Second World War. This book tells the story of just one of them. But in her story is reflected the lives of hundreds of thousands of others like them – ordinary girls who went to war, wearing their uniforms with pride.

From the bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls and GI Brides, this is Kathleen’s story, one of three true accounts from the book The Girls Who Went to War. “Boxing Day was cold and frosty, and by the time Kathleen and the lads arrived at the football pitch she was already shivering. As they stood watching the game, Arnold silently took her hand and put it inside the pocket of his greatcoat. It was a small gesture, but it told her that she belonged to him now, and to Kathleen nothing had ever seemed so romantic.” In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against Germany. The British Army stood at just over one and a half million men, while the Germans had three times that many, and a population almost twice the size of ours from which to draw new waves of soldiers.
