First Frost
by Sarah Addison Allen
Delightful (11/18/2014)
Once again an enjoyable read with characters you would like to know. A good book to cozy up with a bit of a mystery, a bit of romance and a delightful dash of magic. The only fault being it ended much to soon.
Small Blessings
by Martha Woodroof
delightful (5/15/2014)
This book is full of people you might have met or hope one day to meet. Small town life that keeps you wanting to know what will happen next, I could hardly put it down. These are ordinary people that remind us just how amazing everyday life really is in the hands of a great story teller. Enjoy it - I did.
Doing Harm
by Kelly Parsons
a rollercoaster ride (11/5/2013)
Like the carnival ride this book starts out slow building toward the wild ride. I wanted the action to start a bit sooner but once it did it was a heck of a ride. Lots of twists and turns indeed a thrilling read.
How the Light Gets In: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel, #9
by Louise Penny
Another great read from Louise Penny (7/3/2013)
I immediately started to read as soon as this book arrived. Knowing the characters well from her previous books. It was hard to have to stop to work, eat and sleep. The mystery was top notch and the chief inspector his family and the community of Three Pines was great to visit once again. If you know these people don't hesitate to read this book. If you haven't met them you really should a great place to go can't wait till the next one.
