I'll introduce Jo. Introducing romance author Jo Thomas Jo Thomas Best selling author of feel-good fiction featuring food, love and family... Hello there Jo, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. Jo Thomas: Jenny, great to be here. Jenny Wheeler: You say up front that the sorts of books you write are about food, love, family, and fun. You like to have happy endings. And they are for people who like sunny and funny. Is that's how you started out your writing? Jo Thomas: It's really yes, because they were the books that I loved to read. And I would read authors like Katie Fforde, Jill Mansell and Milly Johnson. I wanted books that would take me to somewhere different where you felt that you would join in old friends? Like in the evenings, I can remember reading a Jilly Cooper and getting into bed at night and thinking, ‘I'm going to visit old friends down the pub.' And it's a nice place to be. I want people to feel that they care about the characters in my books and that they're with them through adversity and that they leave with hope and a smile on their face. When you start writing, people say, oh, write about what you know, and I thought, I don't know about anything. The only thing I like is food really. But I'm not a chef. I'm just someone who's interested in where their food comes from and then I thought why not write about the thing I'm interested in? I was in a restaurant in Galway, in Ireland with my husband and I was like, ‘I dunno what I'm gonna write about.' A perfect setting for Jo's first best seller I'd ordered some oysters and they put down this platter of oysters in front of me. And just for a moment, it stopped raining for a while. And I looked out the window and I was looking out over Galway Bay and the moon came and shone silvery shadow across the water and the candle was going in the window and it was like being in someone's front room eating these oysters. And I thought, this is sexy.

One minute Lou is happily employed, with a perfect flat. The next, her home and job have gone. Suddenly she has to start over. The last thing Lou wants is to move to a tiny Cotswolds village. She certainly doesn't intend to work for curmudgeonly eighty-year-old Edgar Allsopp. But Edgar is about to make her the kind of promise nobody could ignore. In return, she secretly vows to help him fall in love with life again. Foxwell is also home to Remy, whose charm and charisma are proving hard to ignore. But Lou hasn't recovered from the last time she fell for a charmer. She needs a distraction - and luckily one's about to turn up. Secrets never stay hidden for long in Foxwell, nor are promises always kept. And no one could guess what lies ahead...

Het probleem met een geheim is dat je nooit kunt voorspellen wat de gevolgen zijn… Een romantisch en ontroerend feelgoodverhaal van Danielle van Helden. Voor de lezers van Jill Mansell.Uitgegeven door Luitingh SijthoffSpreker(s): Denise Lukkenaer

Jill Mansell writes romantic comedies and is on her 35thbook. (35th!) She's sold over 14 million copies of her books all over the world. (14 million!) But what you may not know is that for 18 years Jill worked for the NHS in the field of Clinical Neurophysiology. Then everything changed all because of a magazine article. Jill talks about swapping careers with a young baby, keeping going when the going gets tough – being asked if she's friends with Madonna and what happened when she met her own heroine, Jilly Cooper. It meant such a lot to be able to interview one of my own heroines and inspirations here on the Next Chapter. Jill is so humble and modest about her incredible achievements. She's also open, warm and full of joy and hope… just like her books. Jill's latest book “Should I tell you?” is out in paperback now.

Gilly and Holly talk to Sunday Times bestseller of over 30 books, Jill Mansell, about how she writes her novels...

From the queen of feelgood fiction, an uplifting new novel of friendship, families and finding love.... Amber, Lachlan and Raffaele met as teenagers in the seaside home of kind-hearted foster parents. Arriving in glorious Cornwall was the best thing that ever happened to them - and now, as adults, their bond is stronger than ever. But Amber has a secret. She's in love with Lachlan. She can't confess her feelings because that would never work. Restless Lachlan dates a lot and definitely isn't the settling-down type. Surely it's better to keep him as a friend than to risk losing him for good? Raffaele has his own dilemma. He had the dream girlfriend in Vee, until it all went horribly wrong...and he still can't understand why. Is Vee hiding something from him? Now their widowed foster dad, Teddy, thinks he's found love again. Younger, charming and strikingly beautiful, is Olga as perfect as she seems? Or will she end up breaking Teddy's heart? Against a backdrop of sparkling seas and sunny skies, the unexpected is always just around the corner. Welcome to Lanrock! Gloriously romantic and completely life-affirming, Jill Mansell's wonderful new novel set in sunny Cornwall will make you believe in love again.

If you know me at all, you know that when someone asks for a book recommendation the first words out of my mouth are, “Have you ever heard of Jill Mansell?” She's been a powerhouse since 1991 writing the feel-good, behind closed doors, Love Actually style romcoms for the world to enjoy after leaving work at the NHS. Thirty years later, it's time to get into all 32 of her books (plus a look ahead at her newest one coming out early next year) and telling you which ones to definitely read and which ones you should still read but aren't my favorite. Let's face it, if it says Jill Mansell, I'm reading it and telling you to do as well. Head over to the website sockbunstudios.com and check the blog for links to my top 5 (plus a few) that you ABSOLUTELY must read. Then just work your way past that through the list! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Sorry that the July wrap-up pod is actually coming out in August but it's the Olympics. Sorry not sorry! There was only one new Hallmark movie this month during Christmas In July, Crashing Through The Snow. I made it through six books before the games came on and my life was consumed with sports so let's get into them! Book club pick And Now You're Back by Jill Mansell wasn't my favorite of hers but I still liked it. Beth O'Leary had another hit in The Switch. Finlay Donovan is Killing It by Elle Cosimano really did kill it: get that book! How no one told me to read The Hating Game by Sally Thorne is beyond me, but it and The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata from 2016 were both good reads. And then there was How To Love Your Neighbor by Sophie Sullivan. You can't read it until next January so major thank yous to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the advance copy, but put it on your Christmas list! You won't want to miss that. Want links to these books? Head over to sockbunstudios.com and check the blog for them! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We are officially halfway through the year and WOW where is the time going? There was a full slate of Hallmark movies to get into - but can we first talk about how they axed June Weddings this year and went straight to Summer Nights?! From meh You Had Me At Aloha, to the downright bizarre The Baker's Son, they pulled it together with a Galavant cast for Her Pen Pal before finishing strong with Sand Dollar Cove featuring Chad Michael Murray and Aly from Aly and AJ. Then it was a brief June book club addition since there was already a full podcast all about The Soulmate Equation by Christina Lauren and a look ahead to And Now You're Back from my absolute favorite author, Jill Mansell. Finishing the podcast I got into the other books I read in June: from what I liked the least My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren and People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry, to an okay YA Kisses and Croissants by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau, to YOU MUST READ THESE: How To Fail At Flirting By Denise Williams, The Road Trip by Beth O'Leary, Much Ado About You by Samantha Young, and Plot Twist by Bethany Turner (it's a better version of People We Meet On Vacation).

Amanda and Jenn discuss pageturners, novels with a strong sense of place, some romance, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by The History of Literature – A Podcast, Amulet Books and Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko, and Sweet Sorrow by David Nicholls. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Questions 1. I’m in the mood for a steamy pirate romance, but not one that’s cheesy or over the top ridiculous (which unfortunately is all I’ve been able to find.) My favorite romance authors are Tessa Dare and Sara Maclean, mostly because of the feminist tone and whimsy. Thanks for keeping me company while I commute to work! -Brooke 2. I’m reading Where The Crawdads Sing. Omg! I’m flying through this book. I love that the marsh is a character. Can you recommend a book that has that same feel? I’ve also read Moloka’i and loved it! I live in NC but have spent some time in Hawaii. I would love southern/beach/island. I also wouldn’t mind something set in Europe or Africa but please no middle America. I like something I can spend some time with so please no graphic novels or short stories. Thank you so much! -Jessica 3. I’m 47 and went thru a divorce two years ago. I’m looking for romance novels that involve women that have been married for many years and are rejoining the dating world and finding love. I’ve not been brave  enough to do so yet and need inspiration.  -Lee 4. Hello! I’ve been a chick lit fan since I read the first Bridget Jones book in 2000ish.  I’ve read many of the popular authors from the last 20 years or so.  I mostly like ones set in the United Kingdom, that are contemporary and of the romantic comedy type.  No dukes, lords or highlanders, not too much graphic sex, not too much real high stakes drama.  Just fun, wacky, romantic comedy hijinx!  Some popular authors I’ve read and enjoyed in the past are Helen Fielding, Marian Keyes, Jojo Moyes, Sophie Kinsella, Jill Mansell, Katie Fforde, Jenny Colgan, Jane Green, and Louise Rennison. Pretty much all of the early 2000’s chick lit staples.  I’ve been looking for something light and fun to read this summer,  and would love to discover some new chick lit authors and titles. Hopefully some with a bit more diversity!  I recently read and loved Queenie. Thanks so much! I’m a big fan of the podcast and looking forward to your suggestions.   -Tamara 5. Hey guys! I was really hoping you could help me out of a reading slump I’m in. I’m in college, and reading usually two books for my classes a week (at least) that are pretty heavy and dense, as well as a bunch of academic articles. So, during the school year I find myself not reading as much for fun, save for comic books. Summer just started however, and I’ve been so excited to relax and read, but now I can’t find the motivations or want to read any of the books I have. I think I need lighter, more fun material; a page turner. I read pretty much any genre, but mostly sci-fi and fantasy, and sometimes historical fiction. My two favorite authors are Donna Tartt and N.K. Jemisin. Also, no graphic novel recommendations please, as I find myself still able to read those.   -Scarlett 6. My husband and I are considering adopting/fos-adopting a child. And like the reader I am, it always makes me feel more comfortable to read as much about it as I can before jumping in. I’m looking for books about the adoption process. Can be fiction or nonfiction. Memoir or biography would be great. I just recently read “Instant Mom” by Nia Vardalos and that really fit what I’m looking for. I’m looking for material from the perspective of the people doing the adopting, NOT from the perspective of the person being or having been adopted (which is what I keep finding). Books can be either book or audio format. Fiction is fine if it is something I can read to relate to or get inspiration from. Thank you so much for your help! -Ally 7. I have recently become a romance obsessed reader. I mostly read M/M romance and I love the jock and the “what is sports and who cares” guy trope. What I would like is an F/F version of this trope. I am thinking of something like a member of the US Women’s National Soccer Team and a woman who does not get sports. (Yes, I have a crush on Megan Rapinoe. Who doesn’t?) Although I love YA, I would really love it if these were adults so being an athlete is the job of one of the women. I am totally happy with sexy times on the page. (The hotter, the better.) Thank you so much! -DyAnne Books Discussed The Rogue Pirate’s Bride by Shana Galen Captured by Beverly Jenkins Land of Love and Drowning by Tiphanie Yanique (tw: rape of a child) All the Birds, Singing by Evie Wyld (tw: violence against women incl. sexual assault, harm to animals) The Switch by Beth O’Leary His Perfect Partner by Priscilla Oliveras (cw: family member with cancer) The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory Sofia Khan Is Not Obliged by Ayisha Malik Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan Rebelwing by Andrea Tang A Big Ship At the Edge of the Universe by Alex White  To the End of June by Cris Beam Motherhood So White by Nefertiti Austin Fire and Ice by Rachel Spangler Roller Girl by Vanessa North

Romantiek en geheimen – Heerlijk duurt het langst is de onweerstaanbare nieuwe feelgoodroman van Jill Mansell.Uitgeven door Luitingh Sijthoff 2020Spreker(s): Jantine van den Bosch

Jill's Mansell's heart-warming new book is the feel-good novel of 2020. A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who's had enough of romance - or has she? Not to be missed by readers of Katie Fforde and Millie Johnson. The trouble with secrets is that you can't guess what the consequences will be . . . Lainey has just lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps nail her dream job. Soon she's living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off obsessed fans for a retired - if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming but chaotic family. Yes, everyone thinks she's part of a couple and it's tricky keeping this secret. But at least she's not looking for love: with her disastrous relationship history, men are definitely off the agenda. Except Seth, the actor's grandson, really is very attractive. There's growing chemistry and a definite connection between them. What would happen if he knew the truth? But Lainey's not the only one with a secret - it seems everyone has them! And they're all about to start unravelling...

Friendly and funny Lois makes Mimi laugh. And seriously gorgeous Cal is welcoming and charismatic. Though Mimi loves her city life and her career, she’d be very happy to return to Goosebrook if it means seeing more of him.Life is about to take some unexpected and shocking twists and turns. And Mimi’s path and Cal’s are set to cross again and again – but will it ever be the right time for both of them?

If only Essie hadn't written that letter - the one that went viral... THIS COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING is the feel-good new novel from Jill Mansell, the bestselling author of MEET ME AT BEACHCOMBER BAY. Not to be missed by fans of Katie Fforde and Lucy Diamond. On the one hand, if Essie hadn't written that letter - the one that only her best friend was meant to see - then she'd still be living like an actual proper grown-up, tucked up with Paul in his picture-perfect cottage, maybe even planning their wedding... On the other hand (if her true feelings hadn't accidentally taken the internet by storm, that is) she never would have met Zillah and Conor - not to mention Lucas. And she'd never have found out just how much life there is to be lived... 'One of my favourite writers' Katie Fforde 'Reading Jill is always such a joy!' Veronica Henry
