Getting Organised
Anyone who knows me knows I am not exactly the world’s most organised person. I would love to be, but it’s not happening. Which is why I enlist the help of diaries.

Even though I read quite a few last year, the one that stands out in my mind is The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. I have been a fan of Kate’s books for several years now and a new release always goes straight onto my to-read list.
