Breeda Looney Steps Forth by Oliver Sands

The story is of Breeda who has spent the last few months caring for her dying mother and then grieving for the loss. She is adrift, and this is a sort of coming of age story for Breeda because she may finally be able to shake off the weight on her heart. The setting is…

The Break Up by Tilly Tennant

In the middle of reading other genres, I usually slip in one of the more romantic ones periodically just to keep it different. I started with that thought in mind. This was not as light-hearted as the cover indicates but maintains an upbeat steady pace throughout the narrative, sometimes amping up the situation with breakneck…

How Not To Be A Loser by Beth Moran

Book is available for request till the 24th of March Can I start by saying how deeply annoyed I was with this books cover( as seen above)? The writing was so great, and the depiction of a thirty-two-year-old woman was so realistic that it irked me even more (considering I am turning thirty-two myself this…

The Minokee Mysteries #1 #2 by Iris Chacon

This series put me in mind of the tone of another Florida based series: Jeopardy in July (Jamie Quinn Mystery #5) by Barbara Venkataraman and even the more recently read The Tarot Mysteries #4,#5,#6 by Bevan Atkinson.

Still available to request on NetGalley as of the writing of this post. March seems to be my month of introspection. The books I have read till date, and therefore the forthcoming reviews will indicate how much thought triggering happens due to the content and the storyline. This is a book that has you reflect…

Whitsborough Bay #2 #3 #4 by Jessica Redland

I only downloaded one book of the series to test the waters but enjoyed it so much that I ended up requesting the other two immediately. This is a review of an Advance Reviewers copy but is wholly based only on my reading experience. I am a sucker for a well-told leading lady. Sarah Peterson…

New Beginnings At Glendale Hall by Victoria Walters

This is second in a series but has enough story to stand alone. Since I was on the lookout for a light read, I decided to give this a shot. It had a few excellent points and few that did not work for me. I will elaborate. We meet our leading lady, Emily, who is…
