Livin' La Vida Llama ~ A Lighthearted Look at Life Over 60
You know those books you put down for a bit, but the story and characters call you back? That's how The Banished Bride was for me! You see, I picked up one of those yucky winter viruses. You know, the ones that wipe you out and boggle your concentration? Yet, this lovely story kept calling... Continue Reading →
Elven Council in Ashes is a perfect sequel to Elven House of Ivy. With surprises around every corner, this fast-paced page-turner grabbed me from the start. So much so that when I began reading it (at bedtime, of course), I thought the first chapter was strangely long….only to realize I was four chapters in and... Continue Reading →
Age 62 Retirement Status Retired How does Michele spend her time as a retiree?

I love this author's writing style so much that I picked up this book without paying attention to the fact that it was the second in a series, figuring I'd enjoy this one. I was right! The Rake's Convenient Bride stands wonderfully on its own. Elizabeth and Jasper's story grabbed my attention from the start... Continue Reading →
Intelligently written, Marry Me, Marquess is a wonderful tale that kept me engaged from start to finish. It is filled with deep emotion and detailed information about the main characters' first loves—his is antiquarianism, and hers is botany. I tend to expect to be frustrated with the story based on a fake relationship. Instead, my... Continue Reading →
If you're looking for a distraction from everyday life, this story may be just what you need! You may have to suspend your disbelief in a few spots, as I did, but Esme's tale has enough twists and turns to keep the reader's attention. Modern Fairytale takes a spoiled princess from a magical realm and... Continue Reading →
As one of the many people on this planet who have a book stuck in their head but can't seem to get it off the ground, I found this book inspirational. While reading along, just for enjoyment, new ideas for my main character popped into my head, and new thoughts on their journey began to... Continue Reading →
If you've been following the bouncing Llama (me), you'll recall I started physical therapy to gain strength after living with Long Covid for a few years. I'm not quite bouncing yet, but... Yesterday, I took my grandson to a corn maze and only had to stop once or twice. Now, mind you, this corn maze... Continue Reading →
