Good morning everyone. Today on Two For Tuesday I’m featuring my two new library books. Yes I was very good and only chose two books for once! I’ve been a huge fan of these author’s previous books so I’m very excited to read these soon.
On Saturday we went to our Library’s Family reading group. It’s on every fortnight and the kids absolutely love it – my little girl in particular as I think it’s a bit too old for my little boy really. They discuss what they’ve been reading and do activities to get them thinking about certain books. This week they had to build a Lego scene that told a story and then tell the group their story. If you’ve got kids I’d definitely recommend seeing if your library has one too. I’ve included a few pictures below!
What was the last book you got out of the library?
Prize Women by Caroline Lea
Toronto, 1926.
A childless millionaire leaves behind an astonishing will: the recipient of his fortune will be decided in a contest known as ‘The Great Stork Derby’. His money will go to the winner: the woman who bears the most children in the ten years after his death.
Lily di Marco is young, pregnant, and terrified of her husband. Fleeing to Toronto, she arrives on the doorstep of glamorous free spirit Mae Thebault. At a time when men hold all the power, Lily and Mae look out for each other. But as their friendship grows, Lily wonders if there’s more to Mae – and her past – than she has been told . . .
And as the Great Depression bites, the Stork Derby contest – with its alluring prize – proves too good to ignore for Lily and Mae, each living hand to mouth.
These best friends are now fierce rivals. But if only one woman can win, what will the contest cost the other?
The Other Mothers by Katherine Faulkner
You want to be one of them. Until you know them.
Ex-journalist Tash has been searching for a story to launch her freelance career. But she has also been searching for something else: new friends to help her navigate motherhood.
She sees them at her son’s new playgroup. The other mothers. The sleek, the sophisticated, the successful mothers. The women she wants to be.
And then one day they welcome her into their circle and Tash discovers the kind of life she has always dreamt of; their elegant London townhouses a far cry from her cramped basement flat and endless bills.
They seem to have everything. But they also have their secrets.
And it’s soon clear that not everyone at the playgroup can be trusted.

Love the idea of a family reading group. My library has bookbug sessions for wee kinds then a teen book group but don’t think it has anything in between.
