Get ready, Tartlets. I’m serving up the perfect fall meal with my Lemon Herb Chicken. Just like last year, it feels like it’s been awhile since I’ve gone into the kitchen to make a proper meal. It's been a low-key summer, living on lots of...
Well, that was a nice little murder mystery. An Unwanted Guest is Shari Lapena’s third novel, but I have to admit, it’s probably my least favorite of her works. The Couple Next Door and A Stranger in the House definitely had more twists and...
Holy. FREAKIN. Cow. These cheese scones are amazing. Jenny Colgan is the woman who inspired me to make scones. I had been smack in the middle of The Café by the Sea, reading about how Flora was making scones from her mother’s recipe book, when I...
As so often happens, I started reading The Endless Beach on a grey, rainy, Saturday morning, snuggled up in bed between a husband and a cat. I had only gotten a little into the book when I had to wrench myself away in order to find some breakfast....

One of the things I look forward to every month is getting a Stitch Fix delivery. Stitch Fix basically changed my entire confidence level, as well as how I shop for clothes. Maybe one of these days I’ll post about that, but, for now, I’m merely...
I love the original title of this book: Nutmeg. Nutmeg was originally published in the UK in 2013, and it was re-christened From the Kitchen of Half Truth when it made its way to the U.S. I personally feel that the U.S. title better captures the...
I’ve been trying to write my review of Two Steps Forward since June. Yup, June. That’s how long ago I read this book. I usually read and prep my reviews a few weeks in advance, but six months is really stretching it. It's hard to see a story for...
Oh, Wendy Webb. Will you ever write a book that I don't enjoy? Probably not. I don't think you're capable of it. Also, that's not a challenge! I was fortunate enough to receive an Advance Review Copy of Daughters of the Lake, and I was totally...
