4.5 stars — This book made me LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH out loud in so many places. I seriously just love this Winston extended family, they absolutely DELIGHT me. But it also made me ACHE so much in my heart, b/c there’s so much pain and misunderstandings and mistakes and tragedy between Billy and Scarlet. […]
4.5 stars — I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts together and out of my head, this book just shook me like that. I didn’t bawl in like I was expecting to…and I think all the warnings and such made me wary of this book, so my reading of it was very drawn out. But […]
ON REREAD: 4 stars — I’m finally attempting to finish the Knitting in the City series this year, and have decided to do so through audiobooks. I’d already read this one, but wanted to reread to fit it into context, and also to see how it fares in audio! I found that my opinions were […]
4 stars — This one was an up and down ride that I wasn’t anticipating! I totally thought it would be a slam dunk, because hello, it’s Roscoe. But there was a lot to Roscoe’s story, and it took me longer than I expected to settle in. Honestly, it mostly took me a long time […]
4.5 stars — Beau was the absolute highlight of this story for me… Now don’t get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed Shelly as well, but Beau surprised the heck out of me, he was nothing like what I was expecting. And I totally fell in love with him, he stole my heart, and I ache […]
5 stars — Well would you look at that!! I LOVED this one!! Which surprised the heck out of me, b/c I was uncertain about Cletus in the previous books…he seemed…sociopathic in some ways. Just too smart for his own good, and I was wondering how I was going to fall in love with him, […]
4 stars — Another thoroughly enjoyable read by Ms. Reid (and yes, I did that on purpose). I was so relieved because I’d become cautious about the Knitting in the City books since I was on the fence with Neanderthal. I think part of my problem with NSH was that Janie is a bit of […]
4.5 stars — Yay!!! Looks like this series might be a hit for me!! I can’t tell you how excited that makes me, b/c so many of my friends LOVE Ms. Reid, and I’ve enjoyed her books, but with fairly strong caveats. So it’s really relieving to be able to say that Grin & Beard […]
5 stars — My wonderful co-conspirator, Curly Carla, loaned this book to me through Kindle (which we both didn’t think was going to work since I’m in Canada and we Canadians can’t loan books, BUT IT DID!)!! And I adored it so much I immediately upon finishing went out and bought it so I didn’t […]
