The Corner Shop
The Corner Shop by Elizabeth Cadell My rating: 3 of 5 stars Three and a half stars…for an easy, light read. The first half of the book was fun and engaging. Lucille decides to go see for herself why her … Continue reading

Katherine Wentworth
I have to say that out of all the possibilities, D.E. Stevenson is my ‘go-to’ author every time. When I want to relax with a good book, I pick one of hers. Even though I have read and re-read Stevenson … Continue reading
Library Loot
I took a trip to the library! It was a good day to get out, sunny but cool. I took my time today and enjoyed browsing among the stacks. Here’s my book bag: (yup. I stole the ‘library loot’ button … Continue reading
