Mummy's Favorite by Sarah Flint
Please note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. Not too much to say here. I thought this was a strong debut. I think the biggest issue was the fact that we had two separate plots going on here that ended up confusing things. It would have been better to just stay on the main story-line (women and their son or daughter are being abducted) since there was a lot going on there. I also was left […]
Sorry Not Sorry by Sophie Ranald
Please note that this book will be released on February 13, 2019. Also note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. So this was actually really good. I laughed, cried, and laughed some more. The character of Charlotte was written well and so were all of the secondary characters. I really liked the overall plot of Charlotte trying to do more with her life and meet someone and the subplots of her changing relationship with Maddy, and […]
Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World by Pénélope Bagieu
I have to say that this was a really one of a kind book to get. I bought this last year at the National Book Festival and was intrigued by it once I took a look inside. The graphic art pops and the stories are wonderful. I actually wanted even more information than I got once I got done with this. I would say that you may want to read this over a couple of days/months. Trying to read it straight through like a book […]
Every Day in Tuscany by Frances Mayes
Well, this was disappointing. I haven’t read it in years, and am now recalling why I haven’t. I really loved Under the Tuscan Sun and this one was painful to get through. I kept falling asleep. Mayes makes the decision to write rambling passages in this one and includes poetry and her musings on random things when she is supposed to be telling you about the days she spends in Tuscany starting in the Spring through the Summer. It’s been 20 years since Mayes […]
From Mum With Love by Louise Emma Clark
Please note that this book will be released on February 5, 2019. Also note that I received this ARC for free from NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I ended up giving this three stars because I think the author can definitely write. I just think that I was more interested in Jess’s sister and her best friend more than I was with her and her trying to find fulfillment writing a mommy blog. I think it didn’t help that Jess was […]
The Happiness Project by Pippa James
Please note that this book will be released on February 12, 2019. Also note that I received this book via NetGalley. This did not affect my rating or review. I have to say that I dithered on a rating for this one. I think it would have been five stars if we actually followed the three women (Alison, Frankie, and Kate) for the whole year. They make resolutions for New Year and we stop in March/April timeframe. Also Alison’s storyline felt like something was missing. […]
