I have read quite a few books by this author. The one most connected to this one was: Snowflakes Over The Starfish Café. Although I have read quite a few books by this author and some continuing and connected series', I have a hit and miss with some of them. In the previous series that… Continue reading Spring Tides at The Starfish Café by Jessica Redland

Murder Under Her Skin by Stephen Spotswood
This is a highly engrossing series. It veers a little away from my more traditional historical fiction reads, which have a sleuthing duo, but they have happier lives (or at least histories).I would not recommend reading this without having read the first. WillowJean has had a non-traditional upbringing, and in this installment we get to… Continue reading Murder Under Her Skin by Stephen Spotswood
The Room in the Attic by Louis Douglas
I have read one other book by this author and reviewed it: here Psychological/horror drama is not that high on my to-read list, but this author's previous work (that I read) was quite satisfying. This is what had me interested in picking this up in the first place.It is hard not to compare, and I… Continue reading The Room in the Attic by Louis Douglas
Jane Darrowfield and the Madwoman Next Door by Barbara Ross
I have read and reviewed the first book in the series : here It is, as always, a very satisfying experience to be greeted well by the second book in a series. The first book had potential, I liked the overall presentation, but it felt stilted at times. The author has since found the correct… Continue reading Jane Darrowfield and the Madwoman Next Door by Barbara Ross

The times are different, and the behaviour of the people around the 'youngsters' to them rather than their own behaviour sets the scene better. It… Continue reading Speak Easy by Lori Adams
Non-Bookish Saturday Post # Card Game: Fluxx
I have been trying something new this year, with my previous post being Non-Bookish Saturday Post: Wingspan. I have been heavily invested in the industry and have been enjoying my forays into board game-related content. It has been energizing and exciting. It is a field that has gained prominence in the last decade, but for anyone… Continue reading Non-Bookish Saturday Post # Card Game: Fluxx
A Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
Truthfully, it was the cover that drew my eye to this book. There was something very haunting about the presentation. Coupled with the title, I knew I wanted to read it. It took me a while to get to it, but once I did, I really enjoyed it.It was a highly unexpected setting. I would… Continue reading A Spell of Rowans by Byrd Nash
Sisters Behaving Badly by Maddie Please
I recently read and reviewed another book with three sisters left in charge of an old building in France. This time it is just the two, and they are older than the average demographic of books of this ilk. It is also a deeper look into their individual lives and into their relationship than the… Continue reading Sisters Behaving Badly by Maddie Please
