Since November 2009Author of the Week: Martina Reilly
Posted on Thursday, June 11th, 2009 by Leah
Martina Reilly, also known as Tina Reilly, is one of my favourite authors. I’ve read Something Borrowed, Wish Upon A Star and All I Want Is You and loved all three. Once I get the chance to re-read them, I’ll review them. Here’s a bit about Martina:
Martina wrote her first few novels under the name Tina Reilly before her publishers suggested she should use Martina Reilly. Apparently, it’s to make her books sound more serious. I personally think her new book covers do that perfectly well! Martina is married with children and is also a qualified drama teacher. She is the author of 10 novels.
Her novels are: Flipside, The Onion Girl, Is This Love?, Something Borrowed, Wedded Blitz, Wish Upon A Star, All I Want Is You, The Summer of Secrets, Second Chance and her 10th, out in October, The Wish List. You can read a review of Second Chances here, reviewed by Chloe.
Martina is a brilliant writer and I highly recommend you read Something Borrowed or All I Want Is You or Second Chance. If you’re new to Martina, those are the ones I’d recommend you start with but all her books would be worth the read. Martina takes serious topics and inserts humour into them to make them more light-hearted and they are very easy reads.
