Fools’ Gold by Philippa Gregory. The third book in the Order of Darkness series: Changeling, Stormbringer, and Dark tracks. This too can be read as a stand alone novel. I’ve enjoyed this book less than the other books in the series. I feel the focus…
I received Angelica Stone by Susi Osborne as part of a Book Blog Tour*. It is the story of Angelica Stone, a victim of sexual abuse that resulted in psychological trauma. She was reluctant to allow others in her life, but becomes best friend with…
Stormbringer by Philippa Gregory. The second book in the Order of Darkness series: Changeling, Stormbringer, Fools’ Gold, and Dark Tracks. It is an young adult novel, but I think it would be great as a light read for an adult on a holiday. The story…
Changeling by Philippa Gregory. The first book in the Order of Darkness series: Changeling, Stormbringer, Fools’ Gold, and Dark Tracks. It’s a young adult book and I was asking myself if I should mark it with 5 stars or not. In the end, I did…
Inner Harbor by Nora Roberts is the third book in the Chesapeake Bay Saga. I took it from the bookshelves on a whim, before leaving for a short holiday, camping in Oxfordshire. This is the love story of Phillip Quinn and Dr Sybill Griffin. He…
I’ve had The People’s Queen by Vanora Bennett on my book shelves for a while, but only now I’ve read it. This is the second book I read about Alice Perrers, the first one was The King’s Concubine by Anne O’Brien. It’s quit befitting that…

The third book in the Simply Quartet Series is Simply Magic by Mary Balogh. The first two are Simply Unforgettable and Simply Love, while Simply Magic is followed by Simply Perfect. Sadly I can give only 4/5 stars. I was not keen on Peter. Others…
Simply Love by Mary Balogh is the second book in the Simply Quartet Series. Preceded by Simply Unforgettable and followed by Simply Magic and Simply Perfect. This was my favourite book in the series. Although, when I’m writing this, I haven’t started reading the last…

Shopaholic Ties the Knot by Sophie Kinsella is the third book in the Shopaholic Series. I’ve already blogged about Confessions of a Shopaholic and Shopaholic Abroad, the first two in the series. While the other two got a 4 stars, this one is 4.5 stars.…
Today is International Women’s Day and, to mark this occasion, I’ve decided to review The Blazing World and Other Writings by Margaret Cavendish. She is a fascinating, intelligent woman, highly educated. Lady Margaret published under her own name, something quite unusual for an upper class…
My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella was a book I wanted to read, but didn’t think I would be able to do so soon. I didn’t even take a picture of it for my “currently reading” update. A few days ago I went…
Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella is the first book in the Shopaholic series, but the second one I’ve read. I should have started with it, as some of the things that happened in this book will be mentioned in the second book, Shopaholic…
