ARC Review – Something New at the Borrow a Bookshop by Kiley Dunbar @KileyDunbar @HeraBooks #PublicationDay #BookReview #SomethingNewAtTheBorrowABookshop

It’s impossible for me to not jump at the chance to read and review a book by Kiley Dunbar.  I adore her writing style and particularly love this series.  Of course, that then leads me to be more critical and ensure that my review is fair and honest.  This latest instalment certainly passed muster andContinue reading “ARC Review – Something New at the Borrow a Bookshop by Kiley Dunbar @KileyDunbar @HeraBooks #PublicationDay #BookReview #SomethingNewAtTheBorrowABookshop”

Blog Tour – Summer at the Green Valley Vineyard by Lucy Coleman @LucyColemanAuth @Tr4cyF3nt0n #CompulsiveReaders @emblabooks #BlogTour #BookReview #PublicationDay #SummerAtTheGreenValleyVineyard

I’ve read a few books by Lucy Coleman but must confess that it’s been a while. I’ve only read two since I started my blog, and they were both back in 2021. I was, therefore, thrilled when I was offered a place on this tour. If you’d like to look at my previous reviews, thereContinue reading “Blog Tour – Summer at the Green Valley Vineyard by Lucy Coleman @LucyColemanAuth @Tr4cyF3nt0n #CompulsiveReaders @emblabooks #BlogTour #BookReview #PublicationDay #SummerAtTheGreenValleyVineyard”

Blog Tour – A Scottish Country Escape by Julie Shackman @g13julie @rararesources @OneMoreChapter_ #BlogTour #BookReview #AScottishCountryEscape

I’ve had a busy few weeks and I’ve been pushing to get all my reading in so that I can schedule my blog tours. Having been part of some of the earlier blog tours and cover reveals in this series, I hadn’t realised that I had agreed to be on this tour, and I agreedContinue reading “Blog Tour – A Scottish Country Escape by Julie Shackman @g13julie @rararesources @OneMoreChapter_ #BlogTour #BookReview #AScottishCountryEscape”

Blog Tour – Kind Hearts & Carrot Cake, Little Duck Pond Café by Rosie Green @rosie_green88 @rararesources #BlogTour #BookReview #LittleDuckPondCafe #KindHeartsAnd CarrotCake

I make no secret of the fact that I love the Little Duck Pond Café series, in fact, I’ve been on every tour since I started blogging, or at least I think I have. There is something rather special about the construction of the series and the warmth that radiates from each story.  Each storyContinue reading “Blog Tour – Kind Hearts & Carrot Cake, Little Duck Pond Café by Rosie Green @rosie_green88 @rararesources #BlogTour #BookReview #LittleDuckPondCafe #KindHeartsAnd CarrotCake”

Blog Tour – Where We Belong by Sarah Bennett @sarahlou_writes @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #boldwoodbloggers #BookReview #BlogTour #NewSeries #WhereWeBelong

Having loved and inhaled Sarah’s previous series which was set in an idyllic location known as Mermaid’s Point,  I knew that I was in for a treat as I embarked on this brand new series, set on the Juniper Meadows estate. This felt like a change of style, to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed theContinue reading “Blog Tour – Where We Belong by Sarah Bennett @sarahlou_writes @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #boldwoodbloggers #BookReview #BlogTour #NewSeries #WhereWeBelong”

Blog Tour – The Venice Secret by Anita Chapman @neetschapman @RandomTTours #BlogTour #BookReview #DualTimeline #TheVeniceSecret

As soon as I heard about this book, I knew that I wanted to get involved.  I was part of the blogger team for the cover reveal and now I’m sharing my review.  Anita Chapman played a role in creating normality during lockdown.  I found her Insta-lives to be a welcome balm for my mindContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Venice Secret by Anita Chapman @neetschapman @RandomTTours #BlogTour #BookReview #DualTimeline #TheVeniceSecret”

Cover Reveal – The Cheesemaker’s House by Jane Cable @janecable@rararesources #CoverReveal #AnniversaryEdition #TheCheesemakersHouse

I absolutely adore Jane Cable’s writing, so it was natural that I would want to take part in the cover reveal for the new release of this book from her back catalogue.  It’s been ten years since it was first released and has received a makeover to mark the occasion. Let’s take a look atContinue reading “Cover Reveal – The Cheesemaker’s House by Jane Cable @janecable@rararesources #CoverReveal #AnniversaryEdition #TheCheesemakersHouse”

ARC Review – The Night She Vanished by Wendy Dranfield @WendyDranfield @Bookouture @NetGalley_UK #BookBlogger #ArcReview #Thriller #TheNightSheVanished

Wendy Dranfield is another one of my Twitter discoveries with the added joy of her being another cat mum. As you may know, I do wander into the realms of thrillers occasionally and have been impressed by all the books from this author. She writes in series as well as standalone stories, like this one.Continue reading “ARC Review – The Night She Vanished by Wendy Dranfield @WendyDranfield @Bookouture @NetGalley_UK #BookBlogger #ArcReview #Thriller #TheNightSheVanished”

Blog Tour – The Lady of the Loch by Elena Collins @judyleighwriter #ElenaCollins @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #boldwoodbloggers #BlogTour #BookReview #TheLadyOfTheLoch

This is the second of Judy Leigh’s historical books and it is another wonderful example of how good a timeslip story can be.  Writing as Elena Collins, the style is quite different to the more familiar comedic offerings that we have become more used to.  I love the comedies, but there is something quite specialContinue reading “Blog Tour – The Lady of the Loch by Elena Collins @judyleighwriter #ElenaCollins @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks #boldwoodbloggers #BlogTour #BookReview #TheLadyOfTheLoch”
