I am surprised that I have not gotten to this game earlier! I must admit I purchased this game initially because of the cost factor. I was trying to build a base collection - this was rated well, cheap, and travel-friendly.I have learnt a lot about this game since then.

The Nutmeg Trail by Eleanor Ford
Usually, a book of recipes is not one that I manage to completely read and review. It is hard to gauge how to talk about a book like this. This time around, when I started reading this book, I was pleasantly surprised by its format and content.It has a lot more non-vegetarian content than is… Continue reading The Nutmeg Trail by Eleanor Ford
Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen
Something about the magical realism and the light brush of family drama draws me to the writing. The books are usually of a size that, for me, they are almost single sitting reads.I have read a few, but they predate my blog.This story stuck with the author's winning formula, and I enjoyed every minute of… Continue reading Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen

Something Quite Beautiful: Seven short stories by Amanda Prowse
I did not know what to expect from this collection, and once I got started, I was mesmerised by the variety here. No two stories were alike - there was always some kind of twist at the end, and each of them threatened to make me tear up in public when I was listening to… Continue reading Something Quite Beautiful: Seven short stories by Amanda Prowse
What the Flock! by Sally Urwin
I listened to this audiobook a while ago. It was almost right after another farm-focused one, so I decided to give some time between the two. That said, they are completely different to each other. This particular book focuses on a very different aspect of living a life on a farm.The author does not come… Continue reading What the Flock! by Sally Urwin
