A heartwarming story about a mother and daughter in wartime England and the power of the books that bring them together. Emma Taylor needs to find a job to support herself and her daughter. She is a single mom and there is a war going on and Germany is bombing England. She signs up to send her daughter, Olivia, to the countryside to escape the bombs.

EadieB Books are mysteriously mis-shelved and disappearing, and her work forces her to confront the memories of her late father and the bookstore they once owned together before a terrible accident. I loved this story. There are many books mentioned throughout the book. Books that people are reading in order to not think about the bombs being shelled all over England. 1h
EadieB If you like stories about books and bookshops you will love this book. As the Blitz intensifies in Nottingham and Emma fights to reunite with her daughter, she must learn to depend on her community and the power of literature more than ever to find hope in the darkest of times. Highly recommended! 1h

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn‘t just any thirteen-year-old: she‘s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region‘s residents. And this isn‘t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara‘s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago

EadieB never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore‘s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore‘s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. This is a very good read. One child goes missing in 1961 and another goes missing in 1975. 2h
EadieB Both of them are from the Van Laar family who are owners of the camp. The story has multiple characters, scenarios and suspects. The setting is the Adirondacks. If you like stories about being lost in the woods then you would love this book. Highly recommended.

Lori's boys say they have seen a vampire - she investigates with help from Kit and Aunt Dimity. Lori uncovers the truth to several other mysteries and the identity of the vampire. The last few chapters were very good (the heart of the story). Overall, a good cozy read. ⬇️(for added thoughts)

Make a great day everyone ☃️

bthegood ⬆️(added thoughts) Lori makes ridiculous assumptions in this one - explained by Lori having a hard time adjusting to the boys being in school - theme seems to be about letting go of fear (for many of the characters). 15h
TheSpineView Awesome! 13h

Book 2 and it was just as enjoyable as the first in the series. Two single parents discover they can open themselves (and their children) up to new experiences, love and found family.

This is book two in a duology and it was better than book one. The angst and drama was over the top. This one made me cry. Loved the story and the characters tear at your heart, especially Nate. 5 ⭐

After reading the prequel, I had to know what happened between Rachel and Jake. Though the plot was unrealistic, I liked the characters, especially Mars, so I was able to get past that. I liked the idea of a found family and once all the secrets were out how everyone was on team Rachel. Total fluff and enjoyed every steamy moment.

TheSpineView #SeriesLove2024 @Andrew65 Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Currently at 292/300. 1d

Not nearly as good as the first two. The storyline wasn‘t too bad but the characters were kind of flat and there was no real build up to the end. It definitely wasn‘t thrilling and the ending fell flat. #SeriesLove2024 @TheSpineView

The new owner of the coffeeshop and the assistant mayor decide to fake date so the town will recognize that they are serious about putting down roots and will support their futures. Of course, real feelings become involved but I liked that both men were relatively open about it. Just another low angst happy ending in Christmas Falls
