A Lady in Attendance by Rachel Fordham #excerpt

Excerpt: A Lady in Attendance By Rachel Fordham “You two looked rather friendly,” Ina said when Gilbert was out of earshot. “What were you whispering about?” “We were only jesting about the red ear of corn.” They were being flippant, weren’t they? She looked around the barn, searching for women with red hair. Hers hardly […]

The shell Collector by Nancy Naigle

I really enjoyed this novel. It was light-hearted, fun and a cozy read.

On Tràigh Lar Beach Stories by Dianne Ebertt Beeaff

This was a fun and different read for me. On Tràigh Lar Beach is a book of stories – some that make you think, some that are a bit sad and some that can be read again. I really liked that the author also had flower illustrations and definitions to go with each little storyline, […]
