What a beautiful conclusion to Sarah Ladd's Whispers on the Moors series. Regency romances are definitely Sarah's forte. A Lady at Willowgrove Hall combines a rich and authentic setting with emotional tension that whisked me away into Cecily's life right away. Secrets are a theme of this novel, … [Read more...] about A Lady at Willowgrove Hall by Sarah E. Ladd

The Elements of Style by Strunk and White
If you don't yet know about this book, stop right here, click here, and order it. Each time I end up at the used bookstore in the city, I find myself in the writing section and have to talk myself out of picking up another copy. I'm pretty sure, if I remember correctly, that I convinced Sarah … [Read more...] about The Elements of Style by Strunk and White
Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss
I squealed in the used bookstore when I found my copy of this classic. Lynne Truss is not only an editor after my own heart, she's hilarious.

If you're not, but … [Read more...] about Eats, Shoots and Leaves by Lynne Truss

Kylie Wilde is not too wild to relate to, though. In fact, I loved that she is not so much tomboyish as … [Read more...] about Tried and True by Mary Connealy
All’s Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant
Kat Varland has had enough of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. I've said time and time again that historicals are my favorite. Betsy St. Amant just proved me wrong. This book was as delightful as the cupcakes described inside. How have I not read Betsy St. Amant before? I'll be looking for … [Read more...] about All’s Fair in Love and Cupcakes by Betsy St. Amant
