Blog Update

 I hope everyone is enjoying the New Year. I just wanted to let everyone know that I will be taking a break from updating my blog and book reviewing for a while. The reason is because I am taking a Veterinary Assistant class online. I started it on August 18, 2020. I have until September 1st of this year to finish it. So I will be working hard on that. I promise I will update my blog again once my class is finished. Hope all of you have a lovely day. 

Review: Love Connection: A Second Chance Romantic Comedy(First Comes Love Book 1) by Camilla Isley

 

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Have you ever wondered what might have been? Gemma Dawson is at the airport, staring at two plane tickets to two different cities. Two different weddings. Two possible futures. She's at a crossroads. Be maid honor at her best friend's wedding to crash her ex's?

Gemma's decision, unknown to her, hinges on a delayed flight and chance meeting. Now her life is about to go down two parallel tracks-will Gemma fly toward a life with her first love or a future with a man she's not even met yet?

In concurrent storylines, Gemma lives out the consequences of each journey. Different stories unravel with unpredictable outcomes for Gemma and her loved ones.

I just love reading romantic stories. I found this book to be interesting because it was two different stories. I got confused times. I did enjoy reading this book. Loved the characters  in this book. Looking forward to reading more books by this author.

Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: Bunco: A Comedy about the Drama of Friendship by Robin Delnoce

 Here a summary of what the book is about. We all have those friends. Maybe you’ve known them since childhood, or met in college, or while waiting for a child’s practice to end. Maybe you found yourself living on the same street. There’s no single path to friendship. Relationships don’t follow a script and neither do the lives of  smart, funny, complicated suburban women.

Jill, Anne, Mary, and Rachel met years ago through a neighborhood group that regularly got together to play a dice game called Bunco. Although player’s  have come and gone, they continue to use Bunco as an excuse to abandon their day-to-day responsibilities and enjoy food, drinks, and the company of their best friends. When new neighbors move in under the cover of night the foursome sees an opportunity to expand their Bunco circle. But within hours, suspicions  run rampant as the odd behaviors of the newest residents are interpreted differently. Are they quirky, or kinky? Diabolical, or misunderstood? Time after time as the light sheds some secrets, more emerge. Each woman finds herself shocked by the friends she thought she knew. 

Through the friendly banter, intimate confessions, and tongue-twisting insults, you may see yourself or your friends in these characters. Wipe away tears of laughter and loss as you join the four metaphorical rounds of Bunco, and feel part of the conversation. 

Whether engaging in playful exploits, providing unconditional support, making uncomfortable sacrifices, or whining up in handcuffs again these ladies are those rarest friends who become true family. Of course families don’t follow a script either, unless it is a plot twisting, slightly off color comedy about the drama of friendship. and Bunco sort of. 

I didn’t know what to expect from this book. Turns out it grabs you from the very first page. It’s a real page turner. There are a lot of twists and turns in the story. I enjoyed reading this book. The only thing I didn’t like about it is that it is written in script format. 

Happy Reading Everyone!

Review: The Lost and Found Bookshop by Susan Wiggs

 

Here is a summary of what the book is about. Somewhere in the vast Library of the Universe, as Natalie thought of it, there was a book that embodied exactly the things she was worrying about. 

In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Natalie Harper inherits her mother's charming but financially strapped bookshop in San Francisco. She also becomes caretaker for her ailing grandfather Andrew, her only living relative-not counting her scoundrel father.

But the gruff, deeply kind Andrew has begun displaying signs of decline, Natalie thinks its best to move him to an assisted living facility to ensure the care he needs.  To pay for it, she plans to close the bookstore and sell the derelict but valuable building on historic Perdita Street, which is in need of constant fixing. 

There's only one problem-grandpa Andrew owns the building and refuses to sell. Natalie adores her grandfather, she'll do whatever it takes to make his final years happy. Besides, she loves the store and it's books provide welcome solace for her overwhelming grief.

After she moves into the small studio apartment above the shop, Natalie carries out her grandfather's request and hires contractor Peach Gallagher to do the necessary and ongoing repairs. His young daughter, Dorothy, also becomes a regular at the store, and she and Natalie begin reading together while peach works.

To Natalie's surprise, her sorrow begins to dissipate as her life becomes an unexpected journey of new connections, discoveries and revelations, from unearthing artifacts hidden in the bookshop's walls, to discovering the truth about her family. her future, and her own heart.

I enjoyed reading this book. I thought it was written very well. I just love the cover go this book. I enjoyed the characters in the story.  I would recommend this book.

Happy Reading Everyone!
