The Facebook page, in particular, has become a place for mums and dads to share their hilarious stories about the reality of life with children. I was confident that there would be further undiscovered gems out there - hysterical things that children have said, embarrassing things that they have done - so I invited my followers to send their own tales to me.

Must-read books of 2016
 five top predictions
·        The High Mountains of Portugal, Yann Martel
·        This is Yann Martel's fourth novel and it already has everyone buzzing. It's not hard to understand why - he won the 2002 Man Booker Prize for his breakthrough title Life of Pi, which became a Hollywood film. Starting in Lisbon in 1904, The High Mountains of Portugal tells the story of a young man called Tomas, who finds an old journal hinting at a deep secret. The book weaves three different stories into a road-trip across four centuries and two continents, exploring themes of love, loss and heartbreak along the way. It could turn out to be a serious awards contender – even those who weren't pleased with Martel's last book, Beatrice and Virgil, are putting this on their must-read lists.

  •         Thus Bad Begins, Javier Marias

·        In 1980s Spain, Juan de Vere, the assistant to famous film-maker Eduardo Muriel, finds himself trapped in an unsettling love triangle. As Muriel's wife flits in and out of the book -and other people's beds - Juan is tasked by the jealous husband to find out all he can about one of her mysterious old friends, who seems to be inexplicably linked to the Franco regime. Javier Marias has a knack for exploring disquieting relationships and this looks to be a similar affair.

·        What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours, Helen Oyeyemi
·        With five novels under her belt, as well as a Granta nomination for Best Young British Novelist of 2013, Helen Oyeyemi is one of Britain's new powerful voices. What Is Not Yours Is Not Yours is her first short-story collection, inspired by fairy tales and dark secrets, all magically reworked throughout the book.
·       Out on 8 March
·        The Pier Falls, by Mark Haddon
·        Mark Haddon, of The Curious Incident of a Dog in the Night-time fame, will have his first collection of short stories published this May. The tales touch upon themes such as war, abandonment and natural disasters, all leading to a death of sorts, although his wife apparently asked him to write at least one where no one dies. Haddon says the stories "are bound together by an empathy for sometimes unlovable people in difficult situations". If your interest is piqued, you can read the first of these, The Pier Falls, in the New Statesman.
·        Out on 10 May
·        Barkskins, Annie Proulx
·        Brokeback Mountain author Annie Proulx has spent ten years working on Barkskins and it looks set to become a bestseller even before publication. Set in 17th-century New France and reaching all the way to China and New Zealand, the book tells the story of two settlers and their trials and sorrows. The book has already been picked up by Scott Rudin Productions and a mini-series set to premiere globally in 171 countries and 45 languages is planned. Could it be as successful as Brokeback Mountain?

Me Before You Kindle Edition





  Me Before You Kindle Edition
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick.

What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane.


Review
Poignant . . . heartfelt . . . Me Before You, at it's heart, is about two people who properly listen to each other; it is something good (The Independent on Sunday)

Another powerful love story. A deftly plotted narrative populated with likeable engaging characters . . . a bittersweet story about love, learning and letting go. It's a tremendous read and I loved it (Daily Mail)

When I finished this novel, I didn't want to review it: I wanted to reread it . . . An affair to remember (The New York Times Book Review)

At last, a new Moyes novel - and it's a triumph. Her story of love blossoming in the most unlikely of ways packs such an emotional punch, you'll need a box of tissues (Elle)

Compelling, moving and absorbing. It's also a real weepie (Daily Express)

Keep the tissues close as Jojo Moyes returns with Me Before You, a heartbreaking yet ultimately uplifting tale about the relationship between an embittered quadriplegic man and the carer who is trying to give him a reason to live (Good Housekeeping)

A compelling novel of life and death decisions and unlikely affections. It's magical and heartbreaking, but doesn't shy away from difficult emotional realities. Waterproof mascara essential (Marie Claire)

A disarmingly moving love story . . . a lovely novel, both nontraditional and enthralling (Publishers Weekly)

This truly beautiful story made us laugh, smile and sob like a baby - you simply have to read it (Closer)

Heartbreaking, soul-searching and utterly compelling (Easy Living)

Destined to be the novel that friends press upon each other more than any other next year, it is a tremendous example of what commercial fiction can do when in the hands of an expert. Moyes does a majestic job of conjuring a cast of characters who are charismatic, credible and utterly compelling; Lou and Will are a couple who readers will take to their hearts as they didOne Day's Emma and Dex (The Independent)

Poignant and beautifully written, this book will stay with you long after you've put it down (Star Magazine)

Funny, believable and heartbreaking, this is sure to be the weepy of 2012 (Woman's Own)

A compelling portrait of an unlikely couple (The Independent)

Me Before You is a page-turner that sucks the reader into caring about the fate of the heroine . . . By turns funny and moving but never predictable. The plot contains a number of surprises and raises thoughtful questions (USA Today)

A perceptive and moving tale (The Independent)

Funny, surprising and heartbreaking, populated with characters who are affecting and amusing . . . This is a thought-provoking, thoroughly entertaining novel that captures the complexity of love (People)

Beautifully written (The Sun)

An unlikely love story . . . To be devoured like candy, between tears (O, The Oprah Magazine)

Read it and weep: Heartbreak collides with humour in Jojo Moyes's Me Before You (Good Housekeeping USA)

Jojo Moyes has done it again with this funny, touching tale that is impossible to put down. Make sure you have a box of tissues to hand! (Candis)

When I finished this novel, I didn't want to review it: I wanted to reread it. Which might seem perverse if you know that for most of the last hundred pages I was dissolved in tears. Jojo Moyes, the writer who produced this emotional typhoon, knows very well that Me Before You . . . is a 'real weepy'. Moyes's story provokes tears that are redemptive, the opposite of gratuitous. Some situations, she forces the reader to recognise, really are worth crying over . . . An affair to remember (Liesl Schillinger, The New York Times Book Review)

Jojo Moyes's poignantly romantic tales have readers streaming their way through boxes of Kleenex . . . Me Before You is compelling reading...a profound, fundamental, thought-provoking conundrum lies at the heart of the story, a huge moral dilemma, explored with great fictional finesse. Devotees of Jojo Moyes and newcomers alike will settle into this entertaining book with gusto (Sunday Express)

Romantic, thought-provoking tear-jerker than you won't be able to put down (Woman & Home)

The Last Letter from Your Lover manages to be a both gorgeously romantic and partner-ignoringly compulsive read (Independent on Sunday)

Utterly absorbing and blissfully romantic (Daily Telegraph)

A small-life-big-dreams weepie that'll have you snivelling ecstatically into your cocoa (Daily Mail)
