The Staycation: the perfect romantic escape with the bestselling author of the Cornish Cream Tea series The Staycation: the perfect romantic escape with the bestselling author of the Cornish Cream Tea series by Cressida McLaughlin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You know how some books you start to read, and you just immediately feel at home? This was one of them. I clicked with the characters really quickly, and wanted to get more involved in their lives. I really liked Hester and Jake, and I liked them together.

I don’t really know what else to say, I just loved the whole book. The plot was great, I know how hard it is to have to stay in one place all the time. I thought the staycations were a lot of fun.

There were lots of amusing or silly moments, as well as the more serious ones. And romantic ones too (though some of those were silly too, in the best kind of way).

Overall, this book was simply a joy to read. Romantic, and silly, and just like a big warm hug. It really lifted my day and made me feel so happy. I really recommend it, if you fancy a happy escape.

I was given a free copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Review: Sweet Mercies

Sweet Mercies by Anne Booth My rating: 5 of 5 stars I loved Small Miracles, so I was thrilled to be offered a copy of Sweet Mercies (the sequel) to review. I was such a joy to return and spend time with the Sisters of Saint Philomena again. I loved the sense of community, both in the convent, and the wider area. It’s wonderful to see how all the characters are getting on, they feel like old friends. I especially loved the kittens, and their interactions with Sister Cecilia. The plot was great, I loved all the different threads running through the book, and the way they intertwined. I enjoyed the sense of history, and the way it all comes together in the end. Overall, this book was a joy to read, full of community and kindness. I really hope that there will be more books in the series. I’d love to learn more about Sister Cecilia’s past.

Review: The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter

The Christmas Love Letters: a gorgeous, heartwarming new Christmas romance to cosy up with this winter by Sue Moorcroft My rating: 5 of 5 stars I love Sue Moorcroft books, and Christmas books, so I was excited to be invited to read The Christmas Love Letters. I was not disappointed! I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I loved the story relating to the love letters, and how they (eventually) brought people together. I loved the setting. Nelson’s Bar is clearly a beautiful place near the sea, and all the snow made the book seem extra Christmassy. The characters were also great. I loved Maddy, and the way she’s coped under difficult circumstances, and given Lyla such a lovely childhood. I really liked Raff too, and in fact all the other characters, with the exception of Harris. I understand his reasons, but that is not how you treat anyone you care about! Sue Moorcroft has produced another beautifully romantic and Christmassy story. I highly recomme

Review: The Ice Garden

The Ice Garden by Guy Jones My rating: 4 of 5 stars A magical tale. I really enjoyed this book. I so felt for the main character, as I’m allergic to the sun too (though not to anything like the same extent). It is nice to see a book where disability is not magically fixed, but seen as something you have to learn to live with. View all my reviews
