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 ...

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.

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...

Another free first chapter from Audible. It seems like a fun story, I'll probably pick it up at some point.
