Our Chemical Hearts

Review: I received a review copy of this from Goodreads and since there are lots of long and detailed reviews already I’m just going to do a thumbnail review. Overall I’d have to say I enjoyed myself as I was reading this but it’s definitely a novel that requires a little suspension of disbelief the … Continue reading →

The Forbidden Orchid

      OMG!!!!! This had everything I could want in a book! This story takes place in 1861–the year after the “Opium Wars” had finally ended between England and China. Elodie is the eldest of ten sisters who’s father is a plant hunter, spending most of his time in exotic locations and then showing … Continue reading →

Review:   I loved this! Much darker than book one of the series so be prepared.

Lots of death and destruction and loss with another cliffhanger ending that will have … Continue reading →

The Turner House is the story of … Continue reading →

The Turner House is the story of a family … Continue reading →

The Shadowy Horses

I love Susanna Kearsley!! Reading her (for me at least) is the literary equivalent of a favorite old sweater–comforting and warm. Almost as soon as I start I can feel it gathering around me like a safe little bubble. They are not for everyone–the romances in them always seem to end a little too perfectly … Continue reading →
