Secrets of a Wallflower by Amanda McCabe, first book in the Debutantes in Paris Series. I read a story by McCabe last year, part of 3 stories collection Tudor Christmas Tidings. I enjoyed her story the most, so I’ve decided to read this book by…
Peril at End House by Agatha Christie is the second mystery that I figure out! The first one was the previous book I read, Elephants Can Remember. I didn’t expect that at all. I enjoyed the book, but the low rating is because the style…
My rating for The Secrets of Ashmore Castle by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles must be one of the strangest I gave: 4 stars, but I don’t recommend it and I will not read the next ones in the series. I will explain why after I talk about…
Elephants Can Remember by Agatha Christie is the first murder mystery by her where I guessed the murderer. I am so impressed by me. While the book is not one of her best in terms of dialogue and some references to elephants are a bit…
Second Chances at the Board Game Café by Jennifer Page is the third book in the Little Board Game Café series. I loved this one, a definite 5 stars. What I don’t like about this series is that the 2 villages mentioned are not real,…
Love Letters on Hazel Lane by Jennifer Page is the second book in the Little Board Game Café series. I liked the first book and I was excited to read this one as well. Unfortunately this was not as good, hence the 4 stars instead…
The Little Board Game Café by Jennifer Page is the first book in a series of 4, thus far. I got it by chance from the library and loved it. It is funny and so readable. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes romance.…
Tudor Christmas Tidings by Jenni Fletcher is a collection of 3 stories. I rated them individually because the quality varies so much. I’m glad I read the last one, as it was the only one worth reading of the 3. Overall a disappointing book, but…

All We Want for Christmas by Phillipa Ashley is the second book I read by her. The first one was Christmas on the little Cornish Isles, which I took by chance from the library. I borrowed this one because it was published this year and…
Falling Fast by Jenni Fletcher is the first Formula 1 romance book I read. I had no idea there is such a thing, despite me watching F1 for a very (very) long time. I borrowed this book from the library and read it. Of course,…
The Flood by Yevhen Lyr is a fictionalised account of the flood resulted from the russian destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in 2023. It was an unforgettable war crime, one with serious consequences even now, years later. This is one of three books I bought…
Daughter by Tamara Duda must be one of the most difficult, thus more important books to read. It is a novel on the russo-Ukrainian war. It was first published in 2019, a novel based on real events, on stories from real people. The author, Tamara,…
Blood Formula by Illya Titko is a fictionalised biography of a Ukrainian soldier who served before the full-scale invasion. It was translated by Jeffrey Stephaniuk and it is the second book I bought from an event earlier this year. This is the story of Illya…
The Goodbye Cat by Hiro Arikawa – Seven Cat Stories – is a collection of stories. I gave the book 4 stars because it is a mix of good stories and ones that are not as good. One I really disliked. The readers who also…
We The People by Russell Razzaque and T. J. MacGregor* – A Premonition – is a political thriller, set in today’s US. There are very obvious similarities with what is happening today and I was engaged in the story quickly. There are 3 main characters,…
