  • UPROOTED BY: NAOMI NOVIK

    I’ve recently discovered Naomi Novik and I can’t seem to get enough. Another wonderful book by Novik.She has a way of telling stories without overwhelming the reader. I’m amazed she invented a world, told a story in less than a 7 book series. I really enjoyed this book. I enjoyed reading every word, diving into…

  • THE STAR-CROSSED SISTERS OF TUSCANY BY: LORI NELSON SPIELMAN

    More than I expected .. Reviewers mentioned this was an amazing walk through Italy … which is great, but kind of didn’t make me want to pick up the book for *just* that. But WOW – it’s so much more than that. This is a love story, a coming of age story, an adventure and…

    There is something about this book .. I can’t quite put into words … but whatever it is, it’s great. I loved this book. I loved how long it was, I love the journey I went on, I loved how I slowly found out about each characters, I loved how I bounded around in time…

  • MAGIC LESSONS (PRACTICAL MAGIC, #0.1) BY: ALICE HOFFMAN

    I’m sorry it took me so long to write a review on this one because it really was so so good. Sometimes there are books that you finish reading and just whip out a review, easy peasy. This one felt different. It stuck with me. I couldn’t dive right into another book easily. I had…

  • THE TURN OF THE KEY BY: RUTH WARE

    Not sure why so many low stars from my fellow readers for these excellent book? Okay yes, it was a little weird. A little odd. Not your normal thriller – BUT HOW MANY TIMES CAN AUTHORS RE-WRITE AN AGATHA CHRISTIE BOOK? This was different and I loved it. It was weird, odd and had lots…

  • THE FOUR WINDS BY: KRISTIN HANNAH

    4.5 stars rounded up to 5. HUGE FAN of Kristin Hannah. This book was a tough one. Same wonderful writing you’d expect from the author but dang, it’s depressing. There was never any happiness, which honestly made it hard to read. But also, where is there happiness in ‘The Great Depression’. I mean … it…

  • THE LOST APOTHECARY BY: SARAH PENNER

    Loved it! I loved the characters and the way Penner weaved present time and the past together. I really loved how everything was tied up in a neat little bow at the end. I am knowingly giving this story 5 stars although I don’t think it will ‘last’ with me. I don’t think this is…

  • THERE IS A TIDE BY: AGATHA CHRISTIE

    I am in FULL agreement with all other reviews that you should not read the last 3 pages of the book. Yet, that does not stop me from giving the book a full 5 stars. I really enjoyed this story. I thought it WAS overly complex but it kept me confused enough to not see…

  • CHURCHILL’S SECRET MESSENGER BY: ALAN HLAD

    Another WWII book that blew my mind. I ADORED this book. I love the story, love the characters and cried at the ending. I was yelling at the pages through my tears. Alan Hlad was messing with me! (ha) This is a well done story. It weaves between characters perfectly. Wonderful, unique depiction of Churchill.…
