Once a Liar by A.F. Brady Book Review

This is a book that was recommended to me by my sister-in-law. I am glad she did!

If you like psychological thrillers as much as I do, you are sure to enjoy this tale. How the character, Peter, kept up with all his lies throughout his life I will never know ... this is truly a tale of deceit, a tale of trying to escape a past only to find that years later it will catch up with you. There are quite a few twists and turns in this book that Mrs. Brady ties up rather neatly in the end. I have to say ... I was shocked at the guilty party in this book. Turned out to be someone I sure wasn't expecting!

Well done, Mrs. Brady, well done!

The Orphan's Tale by Pam Jenoff Book Review

The title of this novel, I think, is misleading. It would lead one to believe it is about some of the horrificness of World War II. It's not! While this is not my typical genre to read, I enjoyed reading about Noa and Astrid and their circus adventures during World War II. It makes you realize the hardships that had to be dealt with during that time period.

Give it a read!

Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center Book Review

An ARC I received through one give away or another; I can't remember which. It's always good to take a chance on give aways … you may just get a book!

Though the title is a bit misleading, this is a very well-written tale … it is what I would call a "clean" romance as well as a book of hope and forgiveness, second chances. A very light read that you are sure to enjoy … one full of humor. I enjoyed this book!

Ellie and the Harpmaker by Hazel Prior Book Review

"Ellie and the Harpmaker" is Hazel Prior's debut novel.

I received an ARC of this novel via Goodreads.

This tale is set in Exmoor. I'm sure you will enjoy this tale of Ellie (The Exmoor Housewife) who learned to appreciate harps when, through an unsuspecting friendship, she met Dan (The Exmoor Harpmaker).  A very light read with some unexpected outcomes!

Give it a read!
