AudiobookThis book was sweet, kind of meandering for a while, and the ending left me a little confused. SPOILER [Was that a proposal or not? (hide spoiler)] I think this is the first time I've read this author. I went through a period only reading classics about 20-25 years ago and there was no Good...
I’ve been in a reading funk lately, trying to read some holiday themed books to put me in the Christmas spirit and finding myself left more Grinchy than jolly by the experience. So I decided to take a break from the holiday stories and get in some light entertainment in the form of my favorite littl...
I think I'd have phrased things a bit differently, but in the interest of time, I'm just going to copy and paste from my thoughts when I read the book a couple of years ago and add in a bit for the audiobook: The plucky young chemist with a nascent obsession with death is back in action. The case ...
"Banished!" After Flavia is sent to Miss Bodycote’s Female Academy in Toronto to put some order in her life and to complete her informal studies, she is forced to face the outside world (even if it's just inside a school) for the first time without her family, her beloved Dogger, and her trustworthy...

What a wonderful literary chocolate hot fudge brownie. I couldn't put this down; it was just wonderful. I loved Poppy. She was conflicted and impulsive. She was optimistic to a fault and definitely a people-pleaser. And top all that with British and you have a character that I wouldn't mind hav...
This wasn't as much fun as other books by Sophie Kinsella but it wasn't terrible, either. It seemed to have more ridiculous points than funny. I also felt more of a connection with Fliss than with Lottie, who, I think, was the main character. But, it wasn't bad, just not great.
Poppy Wyatt was having tea with some friends at a hotel, celebrating her upcoming nuptials, when the fire alarm went off (fire drill). When it was over, her engagement ring was missing and her phone snatched. She finds a phone in the trash can and it becomes her lifeline to the hotel finding her rin...
I may have enjoyed this more had I not been such a fan of Bridget Jones' Diary. This book seemed quite similar, in fact, though with less of the zaniness and a little more eye-rolling on my part.I know it's a cute story; there were parts I even found charming. Mostly, though, I found Poppy to be a m...
