Having enjoyed the first two books in the series, The Two Mrs. Abbotts was already on my TBR list. And when Ami from Luvtoread reviewed it, it felt like a sign that I should move the book up the list. So the next time I popped by the Central Library (which is one of the… Read More The Two Mrs. Abbotts by D. E. Stevenson
I normally try to read the Fairacre series in order, but when I saw this, I knew that it had to be read in the Christmas season. Christmas with Miss Read is a collection of stories that are, in some way, linked to Christmas. Some of them, I think I’ve already read (The Fairacre Ghost… Read More Christmas with Miss Read
We’re back in the world of Fairacre! I really enjoyed my first Wodehouse and it’s gentle British humour reminded me of another cosy read – the Fairacre series. Sadly, the library didn’t have the next book in the series [insert title] so I had to borrow the next available one. Tyler’s Row introduces what proves… Read More Tyler’s Row by Miss Read
I was super excited but a bit nervous to be starting the latest book in the Kat Holloway series. Excited because I’ve loved every one of the books in this series, but nervous because I read Flavia de Luce a while back and realise that I fell out of love with it and what if… Read More Death in Kew Gardens by Jennifer Ashley
After reading The Extraordinary Education of Nicholas Benedict, I was pretty excited to continue the rest of the series. The only thing was that I read the first book – The Mysterious Benedict Society – six years ago and only remembered that I really enjoyed the book (present me tsks at past me). So it… Read More The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart
My hold for A Twisted Vengeance came while I was in the UK, so I managed to read this while actually visiting York! While I didn’t manage to wander around, book in hand, reading this while in a Tudor-period house made the book come alive and made me fall more in love with the series… Read More A Twisted Vengeance by Candace Robb
As Christmas approaches, I find that I want to read something cosy, like the Fairacre series by Miss Read. The next book in the series is Book 4 – Miss Clare Remembers – but for some reason, the library only has the copy where it’s bundled together with Book 8 – Emily Davis. Miss Clare… Read More Miss Clare Remembers & Emily Davis by Miss Read
I’m always a little scared when I read another Anne of Green Gables book. The ones I’ve read are all so good and Anne is growing up and what if this book is the one that loses is magic? Luckily, my fears have proven unfounded so far. In Anne of Windy Poplars, Anne is the… Read More Anne of Windy Poplars by L. M. Montgomery
I enjoyed Midnight Never Come so much that I immediately looked into the second and third books in the series. Unfortunately, the second and third books are set hundreds of years after the first one (and the library doesn’t have book two), so I’m not sure if I’m going to continue the series. I did,… Read More Deeds of Men by Marie Brennan
I’ve been enjoying the Kat Holloway series so much that when I heard there was a prequel, I went out and bought the short story collection. Murder Most Historical is a collection of three mysteries: 1. A Soupçon of Poison This is the Kat Holloway prequel and the one that I was most excited to… Read More Murder Most Historical by Ashley Gardner
