Recommended Reading!

I have not been posting a lot!  The back to school season has been rough with updating schedules, sporting and school events, working full time and adding a dog to our family!  I have been reading and listening to books though!  Here are a few I loved the last few weeks!



Sweet Little Lies by Jill Shalvis:
I finally got around to reading the first in the new Heartbreaker Bay series!  I read and reviewed the second one recently.  Click HERE for that post!  This one was just as fun as the first one.  I loved Pru and Finn's story.  I am really looking forward to the next ones in this series.




Hope in a Jar by Beth Harbinson:
I liked this one a lot more than the last one I read by her.  This story featured former best friends who have known each other since high school, Allie and Oliva.  Also, in the mix was their friend Noah who found himself in the middle of the two when they had a falling out.  Relationships needed to be renewed and the girls find out that friendships may change but they can last.



Never Judge a Lady by Her Cover by Sarah MacLean:
This one has been on my list for a long time!  I finally got around to it and wasn't disappointed.  I loved the hero Duncan West, imposing newspaper man and Lady Georgiana, a ruined sister of a duke who has her own secrets!  The chemistry between them was powerful and also the feeling that their situation was a little bit helpless.  Very satisfying!




Just Kiss Me by Rachel Gibson:
So much fun!  Vivian returns home after a long time away having made it big.  She never expects to find the boy next door is still around, and so much more fun than she remembers!

First Star I See Tonight by Susan Elizabeth Phillips

First Star I See Tonight is a satisfying addition to the Chicago Stars series.  Cooper Graham has just retired as the quarterback when he meets private investigator Piper.  Their relationship starts off with a mutual dislike that quickly turns into one full of sparks. Watching Cooper and Piper navigate the waters is fascinating and entertaining.  In the end Cooper lays it all on the line in order to win his biggest game ever...a happily ever after. I highly recommend both the series and the book. Thanks to Edelweiss for the Advanced Reader's Copy! Also, thanks to LibraryReads for chosing my review for their August list!  Click here to see what else librarians recommend for August. Rated 5/5 on Goodreads...

Chicken Quest

I have been wanting chickens for years and years, but I am a city girl and chickens didn't seem like something I could have.  But I was wrong!  In November 2018 our city council passed a chicken ordinance and suddenly my chicken dreams seemed like they could come true! I spent last winter reading everything I could find about chickens and researching everything having to do having chickens in the city, and what types of coops would be best.  Our local pet store orders chicks from a local hatchery, and I decided to get chicks from the May shipment.  I read about each of the types of chicks in that shipment and decided to get an assortment. After confirming with the neighbors that they wouldn't object to chickens, I ordered five chicks (the maximum amount allowed by our city accordance). I decided to order two Dominiques, one Colombian Wyandotte, one Calico Princess and one Midnight Majesty Maran. Step one of the chicken quest was underway, so I started to fill out...

Favorite Author Alert - Julia Quinn

I have a handful of favorite authors, well really more like two giant handfuls.  I have a lot of favorite authors!  Anyhow, one of my many favorites has to include Julia Quinn.  It won’t be a surprise to some of you that historical romance novels are some of my favorite.  I love anything that includes a Lord or a Duke or a Countess.  Julia Quinn’s novels have all of that and more.  Start with the Bridgerton series, the first one is The Duke and I .  Quinn’s latest novel is called Because of Miss Bridgerton .  It sucked me in on the first page and didn’t let me go until I had finished it on my lunch break at work.   My Review: Julia Quinn does it again. I loved her Bridgerton series and the idea that it continues on in this new series featuring the Rokesby brothers was beyond exciting to me. The two families are dear friends and everyone has always expected that Billie would marry one of the brothers, probably Andrew or Edw...
