When I first started “Favorites Friday”, my intention was to pull books out of my archives, dust them off, and share with you my undying love for them. That hasn’t entirely gone as planned. Why? Because there are SO MANY GOOD BOOKS. I keep finding new favorites. My blog, my […]
I am extremely honored and excited to have award-winning author Kate Breslin stop by the blog today!!

A little bit Scarlet Pimpernel, a little bit Beauty and the Beast, and a little bit Phantom of the Opera, Kate Breslin’s sophomore novel Not By Sight is more than a little bit perfect. Romance, espionage and friendship collide in this stunning tale set in England during the First World War. With Britain caught up […]
Welcome to this week’s Favorites Friday post! Yes, I’m quite aware that today is Saturday. Details schmeetails. The truth of the matter is that I fully intended to write this review yesterday and circumstances beyond my control prevented it. Namely… I have to work for a living lol. But books […]
When you read a book by Jen Turano, prepare to alternately laugh and swoon. Sometimes you skip the “alternately” clause and head straight for “simultaneously”. During the course of the book, you may also find yourself holding your breath, biting your nails, flailing dramatically, and grinning. So much grinning. Miss […]
I absolutely adore Christmas. It’s my favorite holiday, and each year around December (ok. October.) I load up my TBR stack/pile/tower with Christmas-themed novels and settle in for cozy holiday reads. To beat the crazy summer heat we are experiencing right now, I’m all for starting my yuletide readathon a […]

Don’t taste it / Don’t share it /Just throw it away / If you try my bakery pie / You won’t live to see another day. You wouldn’t think an Amish Artisan Village in Indiana would attract many violent crimes, but amateur sleuths Amber Bowman and Hannah Troyer know differently. […]
Earlier in the week, I reviewed the first book (Murder Simply Brewed) in this cozy whodunit series set in an Amish Artisan Village in Middlebury, Indiana.

I am embarrassed to admit that I am sorely behind in my Elizabeth Camden reading, so today I decided to play catch up and checked out the first one I hadn’t read, With Every Breath, from my county library’s Overdrive account. (Side note: if your library has Overdrive for ebooks, you need […]

I’m a sucker for cold cases. Back eons ago (last year) when we had DirecTV, I happily spent hours watching shows about solving long dead cases and putting away criminals who thought they’d gotten away with it. It’s true – Netflix could support my habit and I do still get my […]
My Review: Desperate Measures brings the Port Aster trilogy to a riveting finish, packed with suspense, faith, and a sweet romance. In this book, the small gossipy town near Niagara Falls seemed to be hosting “old home week” for all of Kate Adams’ enemies – with a few extra possibly-bad guys & […]
