A decent historical romance with a unique premise that was a quick and easy read. It contains, however, the slimiest, most repulsive antagonist I‘ve run across in a long time. For anyone who‘s old enough to remember the Eddie Haskell character from Leave It to Beaver, think Eddie on steroids 🤣🤣

A lovely, poignant dual timeline story. Parts of the story are predictable, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Interesting, unique characters and an evocative setting. I can‘t resist a story set in an English village, especially with a cottage garden.

I admit it: the cover of this is what hooked me. But since I dabble at butterfly gardening, and it‘s a historical novel, so it pushes a lot of buttons. It‘s my next read.

I never thought I‘d combine cute and steamy in a book description, but that exactly sums this up. It‘s a somewhat predictable plot, but with really engaging characters, and a sweet little girl who adds an interesting twist to this romance. I‘d not read the previous books in the series, but that didn‘t seem to matter. I‘m looking forward to reading those earlier installments. No strawberry pictures, but since one of the MCs is a chef, a food pic.

This pretty clearly is the end of this series, as it wrapped up all the loose ends. Because of that, I didn‘t enjoy it as much as the other books in the series; there was less banter, and some of the secondary characters got short shrift. Still, I liked the series, and this was a pretty satisfying conclusion.

Bette I totally agree with your review, I was sort of surprised by the abruptness. 1mo

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, although I may have been influenced by the fact that I grew up not too far from where it‘s set, so l really related to that aspect of it. Intriguing story and characters, and it sent me down the research rabbit hole more than once. Hubby and I read this for our church book club; he loved his first book club experience 😄

Hubby read this book and enjoyed it. He decided we should go to the church book club meeting this Saturday, since this happens to be the book being discussed. So I am frantically trying to read as much as possible. I like it, just wish I could slow down and savor some of the beautiful writing. But he‘s so excited—he‘s never been to a book club. Not sure what will be more interesting, the discussion or his reaction 😄

Bookzombie That‘s adorable. I hope he loves book club. 1mo

I‘ve started this installment of The Glass Library series, and I‘m getting vibes that this will be the last book in the series, and it seems to be tying up loose ends. So I‘m going to savor this last visit with these characters.

A rather predictable Regency romance, but with a few twists that kept my interest. Not great literature, but a nice diversion. I wanted something light, and this fit the bill.

I have been in the worst reading slump, but this certainly pulled me out of it. My favorite author has done it again. A great story, and I‘m so glad she brought back these wonderful characters.

In addition to being in a reading slump, I‘ve been absent from Litsy for much too long. Thanks to @TheSpineView whose note woke me up to how many dear friends I have here and that I need to reconnect. So, I‘m back!

For anyone who likes WWII novels, or spy stories, this is a great read. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, the setting, the intrigue. I learned a good bit about aspects of the war with which I was unfamiliar. A new-to-me author, I thought this was well written and definitely worth the time. Recommend.

Picture has nothing to do with the book; we visited a nature preserve the other day.

What a delightful book! It‘s a story of friendship and life choices, with wonderfully drawn characters. The main characters are food and wine bloggers, and now that I‘m blogging, I appreciate the community that these women create. As with pretty much everything this author writes, food is integral to the story; maybe that‘s why I like her books so much. Definitely recommend. FYI, it‘s tomato bisque with Parmesan croutons.

I‘ve been in a horrible reading slump, in part because I‘ve had a hard time sitting comfortably since my fall before Thanksgiving. My back is still swollen and sore , and it‘s made it hard to concentrate on whatever I‘m reading. But this delightful book took my mind off the pain and focused it on this story of the importance of friendship. Loved the setting and the characters. It was just what I needed.

Well, it‘s been that kind of year. 48 hours ago, we were celebrating my birthday. Now, I‘ve spent the past 24 hours in the hospital, after a nasty fall in the shower. Not the way I wanted to spend the day before Thanksgiving, but at least they‘re sending me home this afternoon. I‘m okay, just badly bruised and sore. Our son is taking over most of the holiday cooking duties. Oh, well, it will add to our family holiday lore😄

#tlt #threelistThursday

Interesting twist! My score dropped from 93 to 48. I included three songs where I didn‘t see the movie, but did see the show the song originally came from:

Old Man River (Show Boat)
Luck Be a Lady (Guys and Dolls)
All That Jazz (Chicago)

Thanks for putting these together, @dabbe

IndoorDame You should check out the movie version of Chicago sometime. Broadway to modern movie musical adaptations can be really lackluster but I loved that one! It really has the same spirit as the stage version which is tricky. 9mo

So much fun! This has become a pre-order series for me, and I think this is my favorite installment so far. Jonathan Darcy and Juliet Tilney are summoned by Lady Catherine de Bourgh to investigate attempts made on her life. In addition to a fascinating mystery, I loved reading about the developing relationship between the two sleuths. The prose is so Austen-like. Mr. Collins is still a sniveling toady. And my brain heard Judy Dench whenever👇

Lynnsoprano Lady Catherine speaks 😄. I recommend this for any Jane Austen fan, or anyone else, for that matter. 9mo

My Magnolia Summer: A Novel | Victoria Benton Frank
post image
Pickpick

This is a pick, but with some caveats. The author is, I think, trying to carry on the legacy of her mother, Dorothea Benton Frank, and has written a similar style novel set in the Carolina low country. The idea is good, but it needed additional editing. There are just too many side plots, a number of which are left hanging. Parts are repetitive. I felt like it really needed to focus.

I picked this up on a Kindle deal. The author‘s mother was my favorite writer of Southern women‘s fiction. So far, although she‘s clearly trying hard, it‘s not up to her mother‘s standards. The premise is okay, but lots of really annoying characters, at least to this point. I don‘t think I‘ll bail, but I doubt I‘ll be raving when I‘m done.

Riveting reading. It‘s interesting because, pretty early on, you can figure out where this is ultimately going, but how it gets to the conclusion is fascinating. I loved these characters so much that I hated to see the book end. I wanted to know how things worked out. As with other books by this author, there‘s a basis in fact, and the author‘s notes are a must read. Definitely recommend.

The island is still recovering from the devastating hurricane two years ago, so we feel lucky to have found a place. Best news is that the marvelous Gene‘s Books is being rebuilt!

The Black Bird Oracle | Deborah Harkness

Pickpick

I finished this two days ago, but really needed to think about how to review it. Definitely a pick; this series is a favorite. But this takes some interesting turns that just sit a bit uncomfortably for me. It‘s wonderful to read about the twins as they grow, and I love the Proctor family, with their quirky witches and ghosts. But Diana‘s embrace of “dark” magic is changing the dynamic of her relationship with Matthew, and there‘s a lot 👇

Lynnsoprano Left dangling at the end. It‘s clearly setting up a sequel, and I‘m very impatient. Harkness doesn‘t churn out books, and I suspect we‘ll have a long wait until the next one. 10mo

TBH, I started this because I felt like a bit of brain candy. And it is a sweet romance. But there‘s also a lot of depth here, too. It‘s a story about not letting others define you, and the choices we make. Just a really nice read—great characters, evocative setting. There are some real gems to be found among those Kindle deals, and this is one. I don‘t have a picture of frozen yogurt (read and you‘ll understand), so sweetest of my camera roll.

I got 30, and a number of all time favorites were on this list. Hard to pick just three, but I‘m going with these:
⭐️ Gettysburg (we celebrated Little Roundtop Day yesterday and plan to watch this tomorrow)
⭐️ A League of Their Own
⭐️ 1776. Actually, I don‘t think the movie is nearly as good as the musical. And they cut my favorite song. I saw this on Broadway with the original cast in 1969, one of the 2 best musicals I‘ve seen.
