I am a big fan of Ms. Cambridge's Three Tomes Bookshop series, which is written under the name Colleen Gleason. So, when I learned she was doing a book tour a few months ago and had a stop fairly close to where I live, I jumped at the chance to go. I even brought my... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Disenchanted by Susan Carroll
This is by far my favorite retelling of Cinderella. Although "retelling" may not be quite the right word. This book has so many wonderful twists and turns that I found myself thoroughly enchanted by Ella's story…but it is definitely a tale of its own! Ms. Carroll's writing style captivated me from the start, reeling me... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Art of the Chase by Tracy Brogan
Art of the Chase is utterly charming and a lovely diversion from everyday life. Ms. Brogan's writing style is delightful. This is the first I have read of her work, and I will definitely be reading more! From the moment they met, I knew Chase and Jo's story would be a joy to read. I... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Monkshood, Tea, and Murder by Joni Folger
Oh, my goodness, Joni Folger has turned me into a mystery reader! Sure, I read Nancy Drew as a kid and devoured every Phyllis A. Whitney book I could get my hands on. But, as an adult, I shied away from mysteries. I mean, yes, I've watched a few mystery series and adore Father Brown…but... Continue Reading →
Book Review: The Duchess Gamble by Sofie Darling
I just closed The Duchess Gamble and jumped right into this review. I knew if I waited longer it would be harder to write because once I've finished a review, the story is well and truly over. The dialog between Celia and Gabriel, mixed with the feelings they don't say aloud builds perfect tension as... Continue Reading →
Lighting: Lamps, and Reading Lights, and More!
I've had the opportunity to review a few different types of lights. Here are some I liked! Gritin LED Neck Reading Light As an avid crocheter, I'm constantly looking for ways to see my stitching under different light conditions. I had been using a craft light overhead, but it gets very warm after it's been... Continue Reading →
Book Review: White Heather by Jaclyn Reding
White Heather is a wonderful, well-crafted tale. Catriona's story is woven deftly with Robert's as we are drawn into their worlds. Each of their stories starts with unrelated, heartbreaking situations. As we get to know them and they get to know each other, we're drawn into mystery and adventure with twists and turns in just...

Book Review: A Race to Splendor by Ciji Ware
Let me start by saying I loved this book. However, my timing for starting it left something to be desired. This is by no means the fault of the author. I blame my husband. You see just as the sun was setting while we were away for a conference he attended, he declared that the... Continue Reading →
