We recently moved to the Tidewater/Hampton Roads area of Virginia with the Army and I know it is going to be a great experience if nothing else for the field trips. We also just went through the death of a close family member that resulted in a longer than planned spring break, essentially ending ourContinue reading “Colonial Williamsburg”

Holly Jolly Diwali by Sonya Lalli
I love and I mean LOVE Christmas time. Not for the lights and decorations or even the music but those are all a great backdrop to my true love, Christmas movies and more importantly Christmas themed books. While I love the Hallmark(y) movies and books they can be a bit repetitive and predictable, so thisContinue reading “Holly Jolly Diwali by Sonya Lalli”
Damnation Creek by Ash Davidson
This was definitely a love it or hate book. I read this for several reasons. Book of the Month Club, Netgalley and a buddy read on Instagram, so I think I have a decent grasp on the thoughts of fellow readers. The opinions have been 50/50 and hard core on either side. I am onContinue reading “Damnation Creek by Ash Davidson”
The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth
The Good Sister was part of my Hepworth binge I mentioned in The Mother-in-Law post and I liked it even better than I did The Mother-in-Law! A favorite of September. This is another mystery thriller and I can usually figure those out pretty quickly but I was shocked (although some would say the title gaveContinue reading “The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth”

All Pets Welcome by Adele Griffin
I was asked to review the first book in this series, The Beckett List, and I fell in love with it! Actually, I decided to read it to the kids as a read aloud for school and we all loved it. When Algonquin Books reached out and asked me to review book 2, All PetsContinue reading “All Pets Welcome by Adele Griffin”
Mr. Right Across the Street by Kathryn Freeman
Mr. Right Across the Street by Kathryn Freeman was a perfect romance to kick off 2021. I also participated in a read along with One More Chapter. The photo featured was a challenge from the read along . We were prompted to use inspiration from the book to create something fun. I created a mocktailContinue reading “Mr. Right Across the Street by Kathryn Freeman”
Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid
I read Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid for my neighborhood book club but it had been on my TBR for awhile. I felt like it was an easy read in that I read it fast and it held my attention throughout, but it was not an easy read as far as content. IContinue reading “Such A Fun Age by Kiley Reid”
