Review: The Reluctant Midwife picks up about 5-ish years after The Midwife of Hope River, still in Union County, West Virginia. The story focuses on Nurse Becky Myers and her ex-boss, Dr. Isaac Blum. This book reads just fine as a standalone, but in my opinion it is much better if you’ve read the first […]
Review: The Midwife of Hope River by Patricia Harman is one of my favorite books from one of my favorite series, and Patience Murphy is one of my all-time favorite characters. I love stories set in Appalachia, Depression-era stories, and stories with characters that are nurses. This story has all of those things and is […]
Review: I loved this book. Summer at Willow Lake is the beginning of a series of family saga stories with a lot of time spent focusing on the main characters, there is also much (maybe equal?) page time given to introducing the secondary cast for future installments. In this case, the entire extended Bellamy family […]
Review: It’s almost a little bit funny to me how I found Summer by the Sea by Jenny Hale: I was browsing the internet, searching for “summer” books to add to my summer reading list for this year, when I saw that some of Jenny Hale’s titles are set on the North Carolina beaches. Oh […]
Review: My first experience with Brandon Sanderson was a success! I loved The Way of Kings. More than the story, I loved the experience of reading it. I read it over four weeks using an ebook, an old beat-up second-hand paperback (the best kind of book), and the audiobook. An epic fantasy reading experience literally […]
Review: A couple of months ago, I read Burn For Me by Ilona Andrews and I liked it. I didn’t fall hard in love with it like so many of my friends did, but I did like it. I liked Nevada and Mad Rogan a lot, and they were the biggest reason that I […]
Review: Once upon a time, I read a book by Ilona Andrews and I didn’t really love it. So when a couple of friends recommended Burn For Me to me, I took them seriously. But I remembered that last book that I didn’t love and I didn’t rush to read this one. I know, I […]
Review: The Cottage at Firefly Lake by Jen Gilroy is a second chance romance set in the small town of Firefly Lake, Vermont featuring Charlotte Gibbs and Sean Carmichael. As the book opens, Charlotte is back at Firefly Lake with her sister Mia in order to sale their parents’ lake cottage. It has been a […]
Review: I do not think that my thoughts on Thicker Than Blood by Madeline Sheehan and Claire C. Riley are in line with the majority here on Goodreads. I have to wonder if we all read the same book, with the same characters. Listen, it’s super fun to read zombie books during October, which is […]
Review: One Snowy Night by Jill Shalvis is a quick and super-cute novella that is part of her Heartbreaker Bay Series, featuring two characters in the secondary cast. Rory works for Willa at her pet shop. Max works for Archer. The two are on a road trip from the San Francisco area to Tahoe, up […]
