Jan 2019 Books vs Moods

Welcome to the first books vs moods post of the year. I did post a lot of 'lists' and I will put them down here for the last time this year. I have had a few new followers recently (Thank you!!), so I thought I would make it easy for them to get a birds-eye…

Quilt Big by Jemima Flendt

I have not reviewed any of my usual food/craft books in a long time. Mostly because I was travelling and then trying to beat release dates in the month of January. I should have reviewed this earlier because I actually did go through it completely and actually contemplated buying it so that I could own…

The Mad Ship by Robin Hobb

The previous books I reviewed by the author are as usual linked to the covers below. The review show how I happened to start reading the author's books and where I am at in terms of emotional commitment before you venture onto this review. I did enjoy writing the review of the first book in…

And Death Came Too by Richard Hull

I was approved access to this book quite recently and by my self-imposed rule, I should have either read it before its release this year (original release 1939) or pushed it further down the queue.

From Mum With Love by Louise Emma Clarke

This was just the kind of entertaining read I needed to start the february releases with. I realised that I had noted a few release dates wrong on my spreadsheets so there are at least two books I missed in January(than originally estimated)! Maybe I will try to get to them in the remaining few…

The Forgiving Kind by Donna Everhart

I should be happy that I kept to my schedule of Advance Review Copies for January as planned and reviewed them accordingly. Then of course all well laid plans go awry. I added a few more books to my NetGalley queue (I am now terrified of looking at my reviewed percentage on my profile). There…

Just After Midnight by Catherine Ryan Hyde

Narrator : Kate Rudd I have read a lot more of the author's books than just the ones I have reviewed on the blog. I discovered the author a couple of years ago, the writing and the stories have continued to enthrall me since. This could be called a bias but it also sets a…

The Woman who kept Everything by Jane Gilley

I have been good, and worked on my backlist (books older than three months that I received from NetGalley) and now it looks a little better than a few months ago! This is another of the books that released last year in december, and the paperback is set to release on Feb 7th.   This…
