The Wake Up by Catherine Ryan Hyde

While the end of the year approaches, a day away in the part of the world that I write this,and I am plodding away with my own list of 2017 ( To come next, hopefully by tonight) I did not imagine I would end the year with a good enough book to make the cut.…

Her Best Friend by Sarah Wray

This is a complicated review to write for one main reason. The reason being I am on a holiday with other demands on my time ( considering my current lack of posts to any who follow, makes it obvious). That being said, I found the book good as a stepping stone. The plot and the…

The Promise Between Us by Barbara Claypole White

There are times when reading something uncomfortable and not altogether happy still gives you an admiration for how the human mind and spirit work. This book is one of those times. The story is not of one person but of a family. This family is not traditional in any sense. Each individual of this family…

Killer Jam (Dewberry Farm #1) by Karen MacInerney

I found a new series! There are only four books at present in the series but I enjoyed the tone of the book and Lucy Resnick , ex-journalist and now small time farmer is someone I am looking forward to following into more escapades. This book is women centric to a large degree with women…

There is also the Muirwood series which I have not reviewed in its entirety since I discovered it even before 2017 began before this blog took…

Finding Philippe by Elizabeth Edmondson

After stumbling upon the fact that there are to be no more books by the author ( ref :A Matter of Loyalty (A Very English Mystery #3) by Anselm Audley) I felt the urge to make the best of things and read what is left of her books. The first on this list was this…

Save Our Shop by Michael Wilton

I found this book on NetGalley and because of good Goodreads ratings, I decided to give it a shot. Unfortunately, it was not something that I could enjoy. The plot is relatively simple, Albert's shop is under financial strain, and despite personal issues, family and friends band together with quirky ideas to save the shop.…
