Aunt Dimity and the Enchanted Cottage by Nancy Atherton ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

About five years ago I read Aunt Dimity's Christmas which I had picked up at a charity book sale. All I really remember about that book was that there was a spirit that gave advice. Even though I haven't read any other books in the Aunt Dimity mystery series, I decided to pick up the latest book in the series Aunt Dimity and the Enchanted Cottage. It's book 25 in the series but I don't need to read the previous books.

The Sweet Shop of Second Chances by Hannah M. Lynn ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

This first book in the Holly Berry Sweet Shop series was a fun easy read.  I enjoyed the characters and the plot is convincing that you can go home again but not without complications.  Another bonus - there's lots of chocolate.  The book is set in a sweet shop in a small city in the Cotswolds so I wasn't familiar with all of the candy that was mentioned but I googled most of it and I'm ready for a trip to England to try some of them out (I wish!)

by Susan Roberts

 

"I have also come to believe that telling other people's stories is one of the most important ways to build empathy and connection in a world that can often feel diverse and factioned. ..If I can write those stories in a way that makes readers care, then I feel like I have done a job worth doing."

Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey ~ A Review

by Elisabeth Scherer

In the game of Monopoly any time you make a trip around the board past the square that says Go, you get paid $200. Greenlights is a concept kind of like this idea. I listened to the audiobook of this title after seeing so much about it online. I don’t know about you, but I am becoming more and more interested in biographical and autobiographical writing. I like getting to peek inside someone else’s world.  It’s a reminder that we are all individuals, and we all have stories to tell that are uniquely ours and ours alone.

by Donna Huber

The wait for Mary Kay Andrews's new beach read is over! I'm a relatively new fan of Andrews but I wouldn't miss her new book for anything. And this year's is a great read.

We'll Always Have Venice by Leonie Mack ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

When I first started this book, I thought it would be a sappy romance that takes place in Venice.  I'm glad that the scenery kept me reading the book as it ended up being more than a romance.  It's a story of love and rejection, sisters and mothers along with wonderful descriptions of the sights and people of Venice.
