The Pet Shop at Pennycombe Bay by Sheila Norton

The first thing I need to comment is the cover. I like the fact that our leading lady looks like her descriptions inside. An average comfortable thirty year old. The tale begins simply enough, woman runs into another man on the beach also with a dog and they have a 'meet cute'. Things may not…

Match Made in Heaven #1 #2 by Danielle Blair

This is unexpectedly turning out to be the year of light-hearted reads, or if I curtail my exaggeration it has been a month and more of predominantly such titles I had the first book of the series pending and when I saw the second available as read now on NetGalley (I am linking that below…

I Will survive & The Happiness Project by Pippa James

This was pretty much unplanned, the reading of these books back to back. The second book (something I had not realised was part of a series) is set to release on the 12th and since I have been diligently keeping to the schedule whenever I can I decided to tackle it first. Then suddenly realised…

I Owe You One by Sophie Kinsella

I started this book with some qualms (I know I am repeating a version of how I began my previous review, but it is true!) because of the conflicting number of reviews available online. I understand why that might be because I was annoyed with Fixie in the first quarter of the book because she…

The Year of Starting Over by Karen King

I have an overflowing stack of virtual books clamouring for my attention, and I read two books yesterday and enjoyed them. I should have started this review one hour ago, I arranged all of the surroundings as one does to delay the inevitable. Then I sat and browsed NetGalley for almost a whole hour and ended up…

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…

Wildflower Park 1 & 2 by Bella Osborne

I received an advance copy of the first three parts of the series thanks to the publishers and NetGalley. I am reviewing only the first two here, so that I can review the next two when I get my hands on the fourth. The only error I made was not to check the size of…

The Hopes and Dreams of Lucy Baker by Jenni Keer

I have to start this blog post by saying that I finally found a friendship done right, in a way that I could sympathize and empathize with in this book. The last year had quite a few such relationships, friendships between octogenarians and young reclusive women. There will be more such in the coming year also (I…
