While this was a fun thriller set in the perfect setting — a hunting lodge in the middle of nowhere in Scotland — it was very similar to The Guest List. A group of old college decide to spend their New Year’s Eve at a remote hunting lodge in Scotland. There’s a lot of drinking, a lot of reminiscing, a lot of remembering why so many of them don’t really like each other. When there … Read More “The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley” »

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I picked up this book, but I really enjoyed reading it, and I wish I didn’t have to let go of these characters at the end.

After jumping ahead to book three with completely different main characters, I had a lot of fun returning to the Scottish Highlands and Nina’s ever-moving bookstore in the second book of Jenny Colgan’s Scottish Bookshop series.

Lila Ridgefield is tired of being abused by her husband (who is a loved and highly-respected high school coach,) but when she finds a disturbing video of her husband with another girl, it’s the last straw, and she decides to do something about it, and attempts to make his death look like it’s self-inflicted. But now … Read More “Pretty Little Wife by Darby Kane” »
I really enjoy Jenny Colgan’s books for a bit light-hearted escapism, and this one did not let me down. Know that this is book 3 of the series, and somehow I read the first book and still have the second one sitting in my TBR pile, but even so, I really enjoyed this book and easily picked up what I missed. Lissie is a London nurse, juggling dozens of patients assigned to her house call … Read More “500 Miles from You by Jenny Colgan” »
