Dreaming of Christmas by T.A. William

  Narrated by Anne Marie Piazza Format - Audio Book Genre - Romance/Women’s Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars Narration - 5 out of 5 starts Yes guys and gals it is that time of the year again. Time for Christmas books to start coming out again. Do you read Christmas all year long or just after Thanksgiving? Also is there a certain author that you start out the Christmas season with? Let me know in the comments! This is a light cheery book as most Christmas books are. This one is about Zoe a woman dumped my her boyfriend Grant on Christmas Eve one year before the book takes place. A year later a surprise invitation comes to her from an old roommate Billy to get all the roomies together for an all expenses paid holiday in the Swiss Alps. Although her Grant is one of those roommates. The Zoe decides to go even though Grant will be there and ends up being surprised that the nerd of the group  Billy has now become a sexy hunk but now Grant wants her back. All kinds of thi...

The Woolly Knitting Club by Poppy Dolan

Narrated by Lizzie Wofford Genre - Women’s Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars Narration - 4 out of 5 stars This book will have you laughing out loud and crying throughout the book. It was such a fun book to listen to and review. This book is about a lady who has lost her job at the same time that her brother broke both his arms and cannot run his knitting store for 6 weeks ( yes men do knit!) The book is set outside of London so some of the references to knitting may be confusing to Americans. It starts with a premature baby that does not have enough warm clothes small enough for him to wear especially hats. While the characters knit him little hats to help keep him warm and idea sparks and from there a charity is formed. There is a knit along in the book to help this charity and a little romance thrown in and it makes the perfect book for crafters to list to while knitting. That narration was great. Fast paced but slow enough that you can keep up. Now I only gave it 4 stars on...

Haven’s Point by Virginia Humes

Narrator - Cassandra Campbell Genre - Women’s Fiction Format - Audiobook  Rating - 5 out of 5 stars Narration - 5 out of 5 stars This book was a bit confusing to me at the first because it kept going back and forth between three different people at different times in history. Although I tend not to read up much on a book I am reviewing I did look up what this book was about and then the different people and timelines fit. This was a very good book about three different women living in three different eras and how different women were looked at during those times. The one of the ladies was a nurse in World War 2 where she meets her husband. The other two had different struggles in their lives as well. This is about a grandmother the WW2 nurse, her daughter an alcoholic, and the granddaughter who is caught between her grandmothers world and living with an alcoholic mom. The narrator was great. Keeping things rolling in the book and trying to make the characters unique in th...

3 Great NEW Books by Christine K Fields

  Genre - Children’s Books I have now read three new books by Christine K Fields and they are once again all a 5 out of 5 star rating for children. This time I read Nuff and His Amazing Friends, The Young and the Brave, and There’s More To Life Than Mac & Cheese. There’s More to Life Than Mac & Cheese is a perfect book for your children that are picky eaters. The book is about Nuff trying to convince his friend that one can not live on Mac and Cheese alone. Everyday he tries to convince her to at least try a PB&J. Finally she gives in and finds out that there is indeed more to life than Mac & Cheese. I would recommend this one for a little older group of children because it is more of a poem than the other books and has some larger words in it to add to their vocabulary. Nuff And His Amazing Friends is all about teaching children to get along with everyone. She brings in different cultures and also people who may be considered different at school but shows th...
