Book Review: Life Skills by Katie Fforde
Of the 46 or so novels written by British author Katie Fforde, Life Skills is my 6th. Life Skills was published in 1999 and has been reprinted several times since, so I chose this light, breezy rom-com from Fforde’s back list. Quite a few of her novels have been adapted for German TV, but I…

Book Review: How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley
How do you feel about books that start with an epigraph? Yea or nay? I generally like it, but sometimes I have no idea of its relevance until deep into the book. Not with this one, however. Last night I finished How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley. This book is VERY popular right now.…

My Top Ten of 2024
With only two days of 2024 left, I think my reading stats are pretty set in stone, unless I finish off one more book before the ball drops on New Year’s Eve so I can end on an even number. I had a good reading year but my total number of books is a bit…

Book Review: Lost in Thought by Deborah Serra
First of all, I finished this book at 11:00 pm last night, and I lay awake far too long thinking about the ending. Today, I had some things I needed to take care of in preparation for a school play I am directing, and I found myself repeatedly day dreaming about this book. I think…

Book Review: I’ve Got Your Number by Sophie Kinsella
In preparing for a trip overseas this past summer, I purchased a few ebooks for my Kindle. I wanted to be sure that once I boarded the plane, I had some choices of what I could read. Sophie Kinsella’s book I’ve Got Your Number was one of those books. I ended up reading this towards…
