In memory of Sir Pterry

Today I am in mourning, for today one of my favourite authors stepped out of this world and into the next (if you believe in that kind of thing). That author is Sir Terry Pratchett. He had struggled for eight years with alzheimers and finally it got the better of him.

I first discovered the Discworld close to 30 years ago, when desperately seeking something new to read in our tiny local library. I Read more of this blog post »

A super-sweet, cozy fantasy with fairly high stakes and romance. A lovely read, as long as one doesn't focus too hard on the world building. The main character, Felicity, is a florist, and she's cursed. Her curse? She cannot tell a lie. As such, she's ...more

I've read all of Beth O'Leary's books, and every one of them has delighted me. This is the second one of hers that has a "rug pull" moment - and it's a real doozy. I was expecting something - it seemed like it was heading in that sort of direction - ...more

This book was a wonderfully comforting, cozy read. Beautifully and poetically written, in an eloquent style with a cast of charming misfits. Ainsworth at first comes cross as pompous, and a bit of a snob, but I quickly warmed to him, and enjoyed the ...more

"An Accident of Dragons" was a delightful read. Branded as cozy, it did steer into the heavier content, including some fairly dark moments, but for the most part, the tone was lightly whimsical. This is, in part, due to Lord Summer, or Teddy, as he i ...more
