Sewing Shirts with a Perfect Fit by David Page Coffin

I saw a copy of this come up for review last year but I did not try to get it then because I was nowhere close to sewing a shirt. In 2018 though, I did take a basic sewing course and then followed that up by taking apart a shirt of my husband's that he…

The Atlas of … (Two books)

I have been saving this review for a day when I do not have any ready reviews and do feel like posting something and contributing to improving my dismal feedback percentage on NetGalley.

The Art of Inheriting Secrets by Barbara O’Neal

Narrator: Stina Nielsen After a lot of audibles back to back at the end of last year, there has been a significant drop in them here on the blog. Mostly since I am with family, I keep my ears free even if I am actually reading a book. Also I mention yet again my post 2018…

The previous book of the series that I reviewed was :(you can check out I love the fact that I am starting my reviews this year with a five-star read.
