CELEBRATE today with an Irish author!
I first encountered Cecelia with her debut novel, P.S. I Love You, back in 2004. Although I loved the book, I never got around to reading more of her work. Mostly because with my favorite authors, I take them for granted and figure that I could go back to them later. So, Cecelia got put on the good old backburner (kinda like the tbr pile). Also, authors on my backburner are those I know that if I pick up their book I will most likely insta-love.
After looking at Cecelia's bibliography, I was surprised at how much more she has written that I missed. Some of her works have also been adapted to film and tv. Today is prompting me to revisit this author. I most especially want to read her debut YA novel, Flawed which will be out in April :-)
