A great deal of money had been spent to find out what happened to her and the conclusion was that she was dead, mainly because there was no evidence to suggest otherwise. Kitty has come to terms with this and in 1933 she was running the Dolphin Hotel in Dartmouth with her grandmother, when her grandmother had to leave to look after her sister who was ill. She was reluctant to leave Kitty in charge - and Kitty could not understand why. She's always coped with the mix of holidaymakers, boating people and the naval college on the edge of town before - and she's done every job in the hotel. And she particularly cannot understand why her grandmother's friends have been roped in to keep an eye on things ''and'' why Captain Matthew Bryant has been hired to take charge of security at the hotel.}} =='''31 DECEMBER23 MAY'''==

|isbn=0753553236|title=Tiny Habits: The Small Changes That Change Everything|author=B J Fogg|rating=5|genre=Lifestyle|summary=Go on, admit it - you're not quite perfect. You still have those odd, quirky even loveable (to you) habits which seem to annoy other people. Other people, of course, are sorely afflicted with some dreadful flaws which they could so easily correct, if only they would make just a little bit of effort. Or put another way, I get cross with myself because I forget to do things or do some actions more than I should and no matter how I try to make what seem to be quite monumental changes I never quite seem to get to grips with the concepts. I constantly fail and then I get cross with myself for failing. Lack of willpower is another burden to add to the list.}} =='''7 JANUARY 2020'''=={{Frontpage|author=Leigh Bardugo, Louise Simonson and Kit SeatonOnyi Nwabineli|title=Wonder Woman: Warbringer: The Graphic Novel|rating=3|genre=Teens|summary=Diana, being unique on her island, is the victim of a lot of taunts, and claims of nepotism.
