Pru Parke, a Texas ex-pat, dreams of living in England as a head gardener. With her dreams about to crumble, she takes a job in Chelsea hoping for the best. Digging in the soil of a potting shed, Pru uncovers an ancient mosaic. A few days later, she discovers a corpse. Can she solve the murder & save her English dreams?

This was interesting and fun enough for me to check out book 2.

Another fun book in the Beachfront Bakery series. This one has a cliffhanger of sorts. Looking forward to the next book to get some answers.

read all 5…good premise but the stories were super redundant in my opinion…my two favorite stories were the lovers and the farewell… #unpopularopinion #audiobook #readinggoal #readinglife #aapimonth #serieslove2025

I was absolutely glued to the start of this book & the premise was intriguing, unfortunately it suffered from the tendency to prioritise romantic relationships over the Trials which made the middle section drag a bit. The ending almost made up for it though, I was surprised by that extra twist, & that doesn't happen often. I was 50-50 on carrying on but the ending caught my attention again, so I probably will read the next one. 3.75🌟

Bittersweet. This is the final book in the Eternity Springs series and The McBrides series. I have loved every minute I have “spent” in the communities, with the characters and reading the uplifting stories.

Both series heavily reference storylines from previous books so I highly recommend reading them in order.

Listened to this one for #riseupreads - soft pick
There were parts I really enjoyed (like the world building) and parts that got on my nerves (like Hani's annoying gumiho friend) but overall it was just so slow moving. I needed the pace to pick up a bit. The ending intrigued me though so I will pick up the sequel when it comes out
@Catsandbooks

This is a low pick for me. While I liked the characters, the plot didn't work for me. I get that it is fiction; however, as I have often stated, I want it to be at least a little bit believable. This story started out on a limb then just went on to be ridiculous. 3⭐️
Lots of triggers in this book. You've been warned. #Serieslove2025 #ShelfSweeper @Tove_Reads @Andrew65 #Read2025 @DieAReader #ChunksterChallenge2025 @Amiable

I finished this one, #4 in the series a couple of Sundays ago for #EBBR & I have got to start reviewing them right when I finish or at least take notes because of course I‘ve already forgotten the 2 cases (I think) that I didn‘t get right. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Even reading the list of cases, I don‘t remember at all. No matter, they still make for a great Sunday night #HyggeHour read.

Finished the 8th book in the Potting She‘d Mystery series for #ThematicCozies May #Flowers/Plants It was fun to get caught up with American Master Gardener Pru Parke living in the English countryside. Pru becomes involved with a group creating a Medieval herb garden at a local hospital & when the chief donor dies, she‘s on the case. I can‘t believe I waited this long to read the latest book. I enjoy Pru & her friends

I‘m really enjoying the Hope‘s Crossing series. They‘re well written, have some conflict or hardship but remain positive and uplifting. Another great small town setting.
