BLOG TOUR – We Three Kings by Kristen Bailey
Kristen Bailey returns with a 5-star holiday read. Full of warmth, charm, quirky characters, a touch of the spice that we expect from this author (although she's dialed it down a notch in this one), and an overall sense of having been wrapped up in a comforting, fleecy blanket when you're done. I loved it!... Continue Reading →
BLOGATHON – Redemption by Jack Jordan
Wow! I'm going to leave this disclaimer here ... I'm not going to say a lot in this review about Redemption, because this really is a book that you need to read for yourself. You can read as many reviews as you like, but no review (no matter how insightful or detailed) will allow you... Continue Reading →

BLOG TOUR – One Midnight With You by Shari Low
I'm thrilled to be doing another blog tour for Shari Low! This time it's for her new book, One Midnight With You. I thoroughly enjoy Shari's 'One' series of books.

BLOG TOUR – Life Begins at 50 by Celia Anderson
I'm loving that there are so many more books being written about the experience of being a slightly older woman. Or maybe they've always been out there but I'm only becoming aware of them now that I'm that slightly older woman and can relate more to what's being shared! Whatever the case may be, the...

BLOG TOUR – A Good Place to Hide a Body by Laura Marshall
The theme of selective ageism is popping up in numerous books currently: the 'invisibility' of women of a certain age. Laura Marshall's new book, A Good Place to Hide a Body takes it to a whole new level though. Here, the reader's eyes are opened to how the world casts aside older people who it... Continue Reading →
