I had a birthday recently, and got some gift certificates to Fat Quarter Shop and to Amazon. I have an Amazon wish list four pages long, so I have been ordering some books that I have been wanting. I redeemed some of my gift cards for four quilting books, all of which look super good. […]
Welcome back to Part Two of my Winter 2017 Book Reviews! Thanks for checking in, and I hope my reviews will add something to your list of books to be read. The Tidal Zone by Sarah Moss. Can we first just talk about the art work on the cover? That is a painting. Not a […]
Time for some book reviews! Once again, I read some really good ones and some that were just ok. I read these books in January, February and March of 2017. Grab a cup of coffee and your notepad and lets get to it. The first book I finished in 2017 was Swimming Lessons by […]
Isn't this a beautiful book? It is a British edition, that I bought from a used book store. The Brits seem to take so much more care and pride with their editions. This cover is exquisite, but just look at the inside– Inside the cover, the book is lines with gorgeous wallpaper like yellow paper. […]
I thought it would be fun to rank some of the books I read in 2016 according to various categories. I read 82 books this past year, and some I definitely enjoyed more than others. This was one, if not the most, prolific year of reading I can recall. Let's get right to it, shall […]
Time for some Fall book reviews! I read these books in October, November and December and hope you will enjoy some of them as much as I did. By the author of "Wayward Pines", "Dark Matter" is a suspenseful and strange novel that takes place in not just one, but several parallel universes. I've never […]
Another psychological thriller, What She Knew by Gilly MacMillan is about a mother's search for her son. Rachel Jenner is walking in the woods on clearly marked trails they have been on many times, when her son asks if he can run ahead. This is not an unusual request, so the mother agrees. Then her […]
Can we just talk about Lucinda Riley? I am obsessed with her books. They are all big, fat, juicy family sagas, with compelling (and sometimes frustrating) main characters. Most of her books go between the present time and various periods in history. The Olive Tree is an exception, and takes place completely in the present […]
It has been far too long since I have posted a book review. I know some of you enjoy hearing about what I have read and enjoyed (or not!), so over the next three blog posts I will give you some brief reviews of books I have read since last March. I am a voracious […]
I picked up a new book recently that I wanted to share with you. If you enjoy Civil War Reproduction fabrics and quilt projects, I think you might really appreciate these books by Carol Hopkins. The first book I ordered was the most recent one, Civil War Legacies III. I enjoyed it so much I […]
