For Everything There is a Season

Late Bloomer by Mazey Eddings

January 25, 2025 by Pooja Leave a Comment

Hounded by fairweather friends after winning the lottery, Opal impulsively buys a flower farm amid cottagecore visions of opening her own studio. But there is already someone living at the Thistle and Bloom – thorny farmer Pepper, who has no clue that her home has been sold out from under her, and is certainly not happy to learn about it.

The 25th Installment was My 1st – Aunt Dimity

Aunt Dimity and the Enchanted Cottage (Aunt Dimity Mystery #25) by Nancy Atherton

It’s pretty clear that’s what they think it is and – gosh darnit – I’m not going to not give them that tag. I’m not sure what genre it would be were it not classified as a mystery, to be honest. Is it a dreaded “women’s fiction” novel? (“Dreaded” because that somehow […]
