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 the narration but that was only because depending on what kind of knitter you are you might want to actually buy the book format. There is a pattern in the end of the book that I fell the narrator went a little fast on to actually do the pattern but then I need a paper pattern myself to follow along with.


This is a great book for crafters or anyone that might be wanting to get into crafting. I am a crafter myself and loved it. I also learned that in London the craft store I mostly frequent would be called a Haberdashery because they have a little bit of almost every craft!

Review of author Christine K. Fields

Genre Children’s Books I read three books by this author and all three were 5 star reads for children! I read Alphabet Stuff With Nuff, Saving Money Makes Cents,  Teamwork Makes Dream Work all by this author.  The Alphabet Stuff With Nuff book is a great way to get pre-K kids excited about learning letters and counting. It is all done in rhyme and had me laughing in parts. I would recommend the adult read through it a couple of times before reading it to their children. There are some wicked twisters in this one. The goal is to get your children to learn their alphabet and simple counting while you read the book. They have to count each time that letter comes and add them up. The answers of the number of letters in each rhyme are thankfully in the back of the book. The other two books I would say are more of kindergarten age book, One teaches about saving money and how fast it goes if you don’t pay attention. Something I have to say I have not learned at my age. This is perfec...

Windswept by Annabelle McCormack

Windswept Saga Book 1 Narrated by Elizabeth Grace Genre - Intrigue, Mystery, Romance Rating - 5 out of 5 Narration Rating - 5 out of 5 This book had me hooked from the beginning. It was so full of twist, turns, and mysterious circumstances that it just grabbed me in and I hated to stop listening even for bed. This book is sent in 1917 during WWI in Egypt. It has a lot of different characters but they are very easy to follow. It is about a woman thrown into a world of murder and mayhem in the war-ravaged Arabian desert where one wrong turn can get you killed. She has no clue who to trust and people keep showing up telling her that she can trust them but she has no idea which one is telling the truth. I have to give a shout-out to the narrator for keeping the book flowing and also her wide range of voices for each character. I think that is why while listening to this book I could keep each person separate.  I would highly recommend this book in audiobook format or book f...

A Cowboy Christmas Legend by Linda Broday

Genre - Christmas Fiction Rating - 5 out of 5 stars I picked out this book because of my ongoing obsession with cowboys. Plus I wanted to get into the Christmas spirit early this year. This book definitely didn’t disappoint.  This book is about a Texas Ranger running from grief and a women coming to grips with her own past. As they work together they end up bonding together to help rescue and take care of a Mother and her two children plus helping with a case for the Texas Rangers. The plot is a very stereotypical romance but it did not disappoint. With all the happy endings that we all look for at Christmas time. So if you are looking for a nice easy Christmas book to read I would definitely recommend this steamy Christmas read.
