Books I Meant to Read in September

by Donna Huber


Even though I have read more books this month than in the last few months, I still have books on my September to-read list that I just did not get to. A couple of these are Christmas books which I'm purposefully waiting to read for our 25 Days of Christmas Reading in December. Did you read all the books you planned to this month? Did you read any of these?

The Memory Tree by Heather Davey ~ a Review

by MK French


Kate accompanies her husband Ben on his first parish assignment in Hope-under-Barrow. It should be a fresh start for the family, but something feels off. The locals have odd rituals; a yew tree in the graveyard seems to bring on headaches and memories that aren't Kate's. She begins to investigate what's happening to her, delving into the town's history. The more she uncovers, however, the more she risks losing herself to something terrible.

5 Books to Read for National Comic Book Day

by Donna Huber


Today is National Comic Book Day. I'm not a big comic book fan, but I grew up reading the Sunday Funny Pages. It was almost as anticipatory as Saturday morning cartoons. I've tried a few graphic novels, but I'm just not a visual person, so I find that I don't always know what is happening in the story without more text. (I have a similar issue with emojis) I do better with illustrated stories because there is usually more text. Are you a comic book fan? Do you have a favorite graphic novel? 

Today, I'm featuring some comics, graphic novels, and illustrated stories that I've enjoyed.

The Oxford Guide to Scandal and Lies by Kate Westbury ~ a Review

by MK French


Ginevra Bishop went to Oxford in 1951 as her mother once did to prove she's more than a debutante. Sidney Braithwaite is studying there to avoid the mining village of his childhood and the nightmares of war. The two clash in just about every possible way, but MI5 needs their help. A Soviet spy is at the college, and their agent was poisoned. Gin and Sid now must join forces to track down the spy, if the sparks between them don't ruin the operation first.
