Complete Book of Sewing Techniques: More Than 30 Essential Sewing Techniques for You to Master by Wendy Gardiner

I know this book is jarring in the tone of all the other reviews in the blog so far but since this new hobby is taking a chunk of my time away from my original reviewing , I have decided to put in my two cents about the books that help me with my new…

The Black Cat (Richard Jury, #22) by Martha Grimes

Previously reviewed Richard Jury books : The Old Fox Deceiv’d (Richard Jury Series #2) by Martha Grimes Dust ( Richard Jury #21) I realised yesterday how woefully ignorant I am at researching. In the previous blogs about this series I had mentioned the old-timey feel of the books and the style of writing. In contrast…

Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance by Ruth Emmie Lang

This book was an advance copy I received via NetGalley and had a myriad of different impressions throughout the book. My first thought was that the book's title was a misnomer but the final conclusion I arrived at was that this book does not just mention Weylyn Grey (our lead) as a beast but that all…

Brilliance (Brilliance Saga, #1) by Marcus Sakey

The gap between my last post and this is relatively long considering my pace since the start of this blog.

This particular book is a series that I should…

There are times when a nice bright cover and a fresh looking book feels like it would be a good read with only the author as a known factor. This was one of those cases. As a policy, I try to borrow as much variety as possible from the library in order to add a…

Blue Smoke by Nora Roberts

This book was one of the few that seemed to have slipped through my fingers while I used to read only Nora Roberts. Unfortunately I don't know if it was the time since that my tastes have changed or if this book did not tug at the heartstrings enough, I gave it only three stars…

Death around the Bend (Lady Hardcastle Mysteries #3) by T E Kinsey

This is the third book and unfortunately the last available at this time. (#1,#2 are the previous ones rated). It was so disappointing to know that I will not be out traipsing around with Lady Hardcastle and her ever socially improving, lady's maid Flo any time soon. This is another fun tale with unfortunate murder and…

Death in the Stocks by Georgette Heyer

There is something utterly enjoyable in spending time with the intelligent wackos of the Georgette Heyer world. Considering this book was written initially around the time my grandparents were born and the fact that I enjoyed it all the same today seems to be a testament to the beauty of its writing. This book is…
