The Road to Delano by John DeSimone

Once again, after almost a week, I am back online on the blog. 2020 is starting to show its true colours for me as well. I have not been this inconsistent since I started blogging. One ray of sunshine is that I have been reading/listening and the rhythm there has picked up significantly enough to…

Catching Currents by Kari August

Sagas come in different forms. This one had its own meandering and scenic route(literally and figuratively). I must say that the author's note at the end is a must-read because it elevates the content to a different level. We begin at the late teens of our protagonists. We have multiple main characters to focus on…

The Deadly Hours by Susanna Kearsley,C.S. Harris,Anna Lee Huber, Christine Trent

I have read novellas before (a few), and since it had been a while since my last historical fiction binge, I picked this one up. It is a collection of four novellas, written by authors whose work I have not had the fortune to read earlier. This last part is something I will remedy when…

The Sun Sister (The Seven Sisters #6) by Lucinda Riley

I have read and reviewed the previous books of the series on my blog in the post Seven Sisters- #2 #3 #4 #5 by Lucinda Riley Although I liked this book, it did not rank better than the ones I liked previously but I did like it better than Cece's story. This is my first book…

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

This is a book that has been discussed online a lot given the recent (and very delayed) focus on the lives of Black people in America. This book is a straightforward conversation of four different women, each with their own priorities and colours of skin as well as how they define themselves. This tale is,…

A Proper Charade by Esther Hatch

It has been a while since I read a 'regency romance' which had only romance and no mystery or additional plotline. I read quite a few in college and then reached a saturation point. It has been a decade since then, but I never binged like that again. I have seen quite a few available…

A Fatal Finale by Kathleen Marple Kalb

A strong, intelligent and multi-dimensional female lead character and set in an Opera company in 1899 has the capacity to enthral. The historical aspect in this was immersive in such a way that when I watched some police procedurals during my meals, between reading this book, I had to blink and caught myself wondering why…

The Binder of Lost Stories by Cristina Caboni

I have once again topped up numerous reviews to put out together because I cannot seem to maintain a good enough regime despite waking early and sleeping at my normal times! I did start a knitting project (my very first!) and I hope at least I will see that through. Translator: Patricia Hampton Narrators: Karissa…
