Escape to the French Farmhouse by Jo Thomas

There are times when the predictable is what you want. When you begin a particular book, you know how things will turn out, barring a few surprises. This only works if the writing helps hold the story together and make you want to root for the characters. I liked this enough to look forward to…

Laid Out in Lavender (A Garlic Farm Mystery #3) by Gin Jones

I have read and reviewed two other books in this series on the blog earlier. Although I have read two books of the series previously, my reaction to this one and the rating I decided to give show how much of a roller coaster it's been. I enjoyed the first, the second - not so…

Love Lettering and Love at First by Kate Clayborn

For some reason without proper checking I assumed the two books were part of a series and decided to read and review them together. Only when I started the second one did I realise that that was not the case! I really enjoyed this book! I need to preface the review with this statement because…

On the lookout for something light to read, I picked this up. The writing was heavier than what I expected from a story along these lines but was well done if slow going. The pace never picked up, but a lot of time is covered, making reading it quite entertaining.It is a third from a…
