Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did
Patterns of Change by Terri DuLong
Have read the author's other works and know I will like this one from the start.
Although it's a new series it left off where the other ended but with enough background you won't be lost with the characters.
The relocation for Chloe to Ormond Beach is exciting after all the events she's suffered through over the past several months.
Things I really like about this book are the travel-I feel like I'm in the backseat durin
g the adventures to new places; the knitting and camaraderie among those who do knit;
the different generations and their problems; the mysteries surrounding the house and fish pond; lesson of forgiveness: past comes to the foreground with a bit of romance rounds out this book to be the top selection this month.
Love catching up with all from the previous series and meeting new friends.
Can't wait to read the next in this new series. Can't wait to start the pattern at the end of the book. Nice fall project.
I received this book from The Kennsington Books in exchange for my honest review
Christmas Miracle For Daisy by Jane Porter
This Sheenan family book is about Cormac, Mac to his friends.
He is a single dad to a beautiful girl Daisy. He's just gotten a call, school lockdown, shooter on site.
His worse nightmare-he can't get to her....he's decided to just up and leave CA and head for Montana. He'd move his company and family to a safe place.
Story also follows Whitney who's part of the Sheenan media company. She's learned about her sick leave return that the boss had something to inform all of them.
She's been through many company takeovers and it's always Sheenan media company who is doing the buying-bringing in their own people, putting her out of a job.
She does date Mac for several years but broke up when her BFF and husband died leaving just Mac to take care of their daughter, Daisy.
What I like about this book is that she is able to keep in touch with Daisy with the girlygirl gifts she's been sending over the years, not letting the fact that she didn't get custody/guardianship take control of Daisy
Love the fact he's willing to move heaven and earth to make her safe-with family and relatives around.
Love how they participate in small town traditions to bring everybody together to share in the holiday joy.
With Kris Krinkle in town maybe a little magic, hope and faith, will find it's way to unite them all together, once again during the Christmas season....
When the book starts out it is with a school tragedy and it's great the author can turn the story around so you don't even think about the tragedy by the end.
Feel good story that you will treasure with all the turmoil these days in the world.
The Christmas Tin (A Holiday Novel)
Like how this story starts out, in 2000 then goes back in time as a father explains to his daughter what is inside the Christmas tin and what it really means.
With such detailed descriptions of just a room I can picture myself there and feel such a big part of the story. We learn how the tin legend started.
Such beautiful caring stories of the things in the tin. Sad and happy moments as the years go on, not many books can bring tears to my eyes. This one does.
Treasure this and will keep it and read it often. So many stories in just one book.
Once Upon A Nightmare by Nat Goodale
Read another book by the author and wanted to read more, he puts you in the scenes as if you are there experiencing it all with him as he's telling you what's going on.
Like how the author describes things so you can understand even the most complicated of things and puts you at ease, as if he is protecting you, as you are in the book with him as it's being written.
This book starts out with Jesse and he's at odds with his wife and daughters. After a charter plane ride he decides to travel south to help Santee with further charters. He knows drugs will be involved but he does it for a few reasons.
Love travel and explanations of things checked before the flight, very precise and routine and very particular in how it's all done, every time.
Things get quite complicated at times, just when things are running smoothly but he figures out a way to complete the mission.
There's also the mystery of his brother in law that has gone missing, he was lobstering and never returned, not did his boat.
Story I found fascinating as to the inner workings of drug traffic, fast paced action at the same time as laid back lounging in the water....
Total surprise ending, didn't see it happening like that!
Children's Book: Thanksgiving Stories Collection (4 BOOKS IN 1): 20 Thanksgiving Stories + Thanksgiving Jokes (Kids Books - Bedtime Stories For Kids - ... Books) (Thanksgiving Books for Children)
Lots of other works by the author, some free are highlighted in the book.
Like the idea of having 4 books in one place and all about Thanksgiving as it's only 10 days away.
First story is about Ameilia and she's 10 and this year dad wants to deep fry the turkey. They've all heard of disasters others have had.
One thing starts a domino effect and you can't imagine what happens after all that.
Great stories, some so funny you can't make these things up. Love the next story about volunteering at a homeless shelter.
And the next about a weird uncle and another about a wishbone tradition. Lots more stories and even turkey jokes.
Dogwood Hill by Sherryl Woods
This Chesapeake Shores book is about Aiden who settles in the town. He has much in his past, some things could mix things up for the O'Brien family.
He's the football coach. Story also follows Liz March, who runs Pet Style offering jewelry for the pets and finding good homes for those in need. She's lost her husband but not many know the full story.
Always nice to also get up to date with all the other O'Briens and what's new with them all.
Spring and match making is in the air, for humans and dogs. Others find out what their secrets are and try to contend with the truth...
