Well, this was a disappointing reading month for me. Only 8 books. Two hard copies, two audiobooks and four Kindle books. One five-star read, two four and a half-stars, and five that ranked from pretty good to ick. My reviews in order of preference below: Raft of Stars by Andrew J. Graff. This book was […]
October was a very good reading month. I read nine books this month. Three hardback books, three audio books, and three books on my Kindle. Five books were excellent, three were varying stages of good, and one was just weird. "The Lost Girls of Devon" by Barbara O'Neal was pretty good. The plot of this […]
I know I am so lucky to have such a lovely reading nook. I do enjoy it, whenever I can slip in when Ozzie isn't ensconced in my chair. This week has been kind of a bust sewing-wise because whenever I have a free moment, I want to sit down and read a few more […]
I am a bit distracted this week, because I started a new book that I have been eagerly anticipating. "The Lincoln Highway" by Amor Towles. O.M.G. I loved his previous books, "Rules of CIvility" and "A Gentleman of Moscow". This one may be my favorite of all. If you liked WIlliam Kent Kruger's "This Tender […]
I read 9 books in September and enjoyed most of them quite a bit. Grab a cup of coffee, this post is a long one! "Forever, Interrupted" by Taylor Jenkins-Reid was very sad for me. I loved the author's other books "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo", "Daisy Jones and the Six", and most recently […]
Eva and I do a cooking project every Tuesday and this week we made Sugar Cookies. Melt-in-your-mouth-delicious sugar cookies! My Great Grandma Tillie made sugar cookies all the time and they were such a favorite of mine when I was growing up in Michigan. Hers were kind of puffy and each one had a big […]
Do you struggle to get your quilting books to lie flat? Me too. I have been known to use all sorts of objects to hold my pattern books open while I read the sewing directions. For some reason, the Sampler Spree book seems to be especially stubborn about staying open. I took matters into my […]
If you are looking for a lighter, engaging summer read, I have some recommendations for you. I found the following books entertaining and rated them all 4 to 4.5 stars. People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry is a "friends to lovers" contemporary romance. Poppy and Alex have been best friends for 12 years. […]
It has been too long since I have done any book reviews. Not that I haven't been reading, though. I read 12 books in May, 9 books in June, and another whopping 12 books so far in July. So get out your pen and paper and let's get started with the best of them. The […]
"You Can't Catch Me" by Catherine McKenzie is a clever psychological thriller with a revenge plot. Twelve years ago Jessica Williams was rescued from a cult. She has re-entered society and adjusted as well as one can with her past experiences. She has just lost her job as a journalist and has received a large […]
