The Cinnamon Bun Book Store (Dream Harbor #2) by Laurie Gilmore Review

  Hey ForeverBookers, How are you all? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished reading “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” and I LOVED it! This will be a short review as “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” is a quick and easy read.  4.5 Stars!  “The Cinnamon Bun Book Store” follows our FMC, Hazel who had a small part in “The Pumpkin Spice Cafe,” book 1 in the “Dream Harbor” series. She’s the book shop owner of the town. This book store changes its name frequently but for now it’s the Cinnamon Bun Book Store. She discovers clues in some of her books…to what though? Noah, the younger MMC of the story helps her work out what they mean and all before her 30th birthday! She doesn’t feel like she’s had much of a life and regrets that. Can Noah help her see that her life is still worth living?  I read this for a couple of readathons. They were:  Reading Rivalry - Let’s Do The Time Warp Again -  The Cinnamon Bun Book Store is the second book in the Dream Harbor series so ...

The Well of Ascension (The Final Empire #2) by Brandon Sanderson Review

Hey ForeverBookers,   I’ve just finished  “The Well Of Ascension”  by Brandon Sanderson and I really enjoyed it!    5 Stars!  We follow our same heroine from The Final Empire, Vin as she tries to make sense of the problems facing the residents of her city, Luthadel. The old band of characters from The Final Empire are present, as well as Vin. I enjoyed all of our characters if I’m being honest. Everyone had something different to offer the plot, which kept me intrigued.  I read  “The Well Of Ascension”  for one readathon -  Reading Rivalry - Madness Takes Its Toll - some of the characters are mad/crazy in the plot of  “The Well Of Ascension.”  Spoilers below… “I belong with those who love me,” Vin said.         Zane shook his head. “We don’t belong with them, Vin. We don’t belong in their world. We belong here, in the mists.” Vin is unsure for a lot of this book. She doesn’t know who she can truly rely ...

Retrograde (Retrograde #1) by Emilee Carter Review

  Hey ForeverBookers, How are you today? I hope you’re great! I’ve just finished  “Retrograde”  by Emilee Carter, which is a sports, F1 romance and I enjoyed it. If you’re looking for a sports romance that hardly focuses on the sport then I’d say this is for you. While I knew it was a sports romance, it was only where our 2 main characters met. That’s basically the only sport bit. We don’t see any on action on the grid. I liked this, as I’m not a sports or especially, an F1 fan.  We start on the grid following Lucie, our FMC and Brett, our MMC as they try to literally navigate their feelings around each other so they can still both work on the grid, as a driver for him and part of the team for her. Brett is the celebrity racer, adored by fans, and Lucie works on the grid as the assistant and a part of Revolution Racing’s team. Can they work together or do feelings of jealousy/love/devotion get in the way? I’ll let you read for yourself, but it’s a good story with a f...

Book Of Shadow s by Cait Tiernan (Sweep #1) Review

Hi ForeverBookers, How are you all? I hope you’re good! I’ve just finished reading Book of Shadows by Cate Tiernan and I really enjoyed it. It was a reread but I read it over 10 years ago for the first time so I’d forgotten a lot of the plot. All that I remembered was the main character Morgan discovers some secrets about herself. What are those secrets? You can read for yourself! 5 Stars! Morgan is our female protagonist. It’s told from her perspective. She’s is a high school student who on her first day of her new year at school meets a new boy. She, of course, becomes obsessed with him. Cal is this new boy. He exudes mystery and intrigue for Morgan and her friends. When he reveals that he’s part of the religion of Wicca, things take a turn. For good or bad? I’ll again let you read for yourself but it’s a very compelling story, at least for me. They’re quite short books too. Even though there’s 15 or so in the series. I got through my reread of Book of Shadows in 3 days!  I read ...

The Thursday Murder Club (The Thursday Murder Club #1) by Richard Osman Review

Hi ForeverBookers, How are you all today? I hope you’re good!  I’ve just finished “The Thursday Murder Club” by Richard Osman and I enjoyed it! It’s not my usual genre, which you’ll know if you’ve been here long enough is fantasy/romance but I knew that before going in so that helped. I think I always knew that it wouldn’t be a 5 star read so the fact that I gave it four stars is good.  4 Stars! “The Thursday Murder Club” really starts when a character called Tony Curran is killed in the story. The club comprises of Elizabeth, a very turned on woman. She’s very hot on the press and quick to make a judgement. Ibrahim, a slightly slower to the point man. Ron, another slower man, and Joyce a very funny, quirky character who I loved reading about and from. We get Joyce’s POV, which I loved reading, as she was hilarious. She’s the only POV we get in “The Thursday Murder Club.” I don’t know if in the next novels we’ll get a different POV! I’m excited to find out! This novel is a lau...
