Stedman
This nod to bookshops by Woods and Gaughan was whimsical and charming. I'm always a fan of a book with magical realism, especially one with a bookstore! ‘The thing about books,’ she said ‘is that they help you to imagine a life bigger and better than you could ever dream of.’ On a quiet street… Continue reading The Lost Bookshop by Evie Woods, Evie Gaughan
This is was based off the true story of Belle da Costa Green's story. This was an interesting piece of history that I got an inside view of. She was JP Morgan's personal librarian.

Nick is a reporter from Brooklyn but he is also a closet gay. It is the 50's and… Continue reading We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian

This goes back and forth thru time to tell the story. In the present time frame, a famous movie star… Continue reading The Sunshine Girls by Molly Fader
Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline had been on my TBR for a long time. We read this for book club. This was a very touching story. If you like historical fiction this one is for you. Families looking for servants, farm labourers, or occasionally more children would come check out the orphans and see… Continue reading Orphan Train by Christina Baker Kline
I thought the first half of this book was very slow and could have had 100 pages taken out. The last half of the book was amazing. If this wouldn't have been a book club book, I may have DNF'd this one, but I am glad I stuck with it. This was a slow burn.… Continue reading The Island by Victoria Hislop
I am a Weyward, and wild inside. Weyward by Emilia Hart covers three main characters and three different time periods. I think Hart did an excellent job weaving together these stories. All three women are connected by blood. The author describes the setting down the the earthy smells at the family's grand family estate in… Continue reading Weyward by Emilia Hart
