We did it! We did it! We finished our final book club selection, making it twenty books in one year. Yay us! Well technically, it’s twenty one as #3 of the Hitwoman series, The Hitwoman gets Lucky is a novella of 80 pages so it made sense to continue on to #4 which is a…

Book of the Month: Gone with the Wind
Ah yes, the book that has lived for almost a hundred years and it makes one feel like they’ve lived through a hundred years.

Today I’m going to focus on her Foodie series which is just as the title implies- A collection of stand-alone novel focusing on how sweet and…

Book of the Month: Hemlock Island
Yep, we’re already on the next book of the month. It was a quick read thanks to Armstrong’s exciting cliffhangers and short chapters that make one want to keep going, and going until it’s 2 in the morning and the mystery is revealed. The titular Hemlock Island is owned by author/writer, Laney. Well the cabin…
