Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge...

The Secret

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year! I'm day late but I spent most of yesterday in the ER with my youngest (she's fine) and that was exhausting. I have been getting a little reading done lately. And I've been thinking about picking up reviews again. I've been reading Mary Kay Andrews and enjoying her fun, quirky characters. I'm about to start Blue Lily, Lily Blue. I've also got my son interested in audio books and he's become a fan of the Peter and the Starcatchers series. So that's been fun!

In which I write about my unintended hiatus

I realized the other night that I hadn't blogged in a while. I didn't realize it had been September! I haven't really been reading but I have been listening to audiobooks and I keep meaning to review them but time has not been my friend for a long while now. I was wondering if I wanted to keep this blog going. Yes, I do. I really do. But, as I've said in the past, I don't want to feel obligated. So hopefully I'll get back to it soon. As I type this I'm thinking about writing up the Enola Holmes series. So clearly the spark to review is not gone. I'm going to get back to it. Bear with me.

Weekly Round-Up 9/22

Weekly Round-Up is my wrap-up of last week's activities and includes what I'm reading this week, reviews I've posted, books in the mail and anything else of interest plus From the Library, my weekly listing of what I've checked out from the library. I'm reading Landline by Rainbow Rowll. I'm listening to The Case of the Left-Handed Lady by Nancy Springer, read by Katharine Kellgren. Last week I reviewed The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline by Nancy Springer, read by Katharine Kellgren.

The Case of the Cryptic Crinoline by Nancy Springer (Enola Holmes #4)

Enola Homes, younger sister of Sherlock and Mycroft, is living on her own and evading her brothers in an attempt to stay out of boarding school and keep her independence. When her landlady is mysterious kidnapped and her house ransacked, Enola sets out to find her and figure who and why someone would want her sweet old landlady. This was a very fun mystery. I enjoyed the character of Enola and how clever she is. Her brothers very much underestimate her but I think Sherlock is beginning to see the truth of his little sister. Enola is a very independent and she knows more about the ways of the world especially a lady's world than her brothers can understand. She is also very good at riddles and coded messages and those skills certainly come in handy for this case. I also like the history of this era like Florence Nightingale and how London was at this time. That was very interesting.  Katharine Kellgren, one of my favorite narrators, is the reader of this book and I can't say eno...

Weekly Round-Up 9/15

Hello

I realized the other day that I haven't posted anything, not even a Weekly Round-Up for a while but I was surprised to see that my last post was August 20th. Where did that time go? It's been super busy lately at home and at work so I have been neglecting my hobbies including sadly, reading, and this blog. But it's all cool though. I'll be back soon, I'm sure. I never can stay away for too long.

A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie

In Chipping Cleghorn an advertisement is placed in the social pages of the local newspaper announcing the date and time of a murder. When several townsfolk show up thinking it is a game they soon see that it is not. For a murder does take place and the police begin to focus on the suspects. But soon Miss Jane Marple becomes involved and the murderer begins to become more desperate. Continuing with my mystery kick, I checked out A Murder is Announced. It seems that there are a quite a few Miss Marple audios but less Poirot or at least at my library anyway. But that's okay. I enjoy Miss Marple and how she is constantly underestimated because she is a little old lady. Underestimated, of course, by those who do not know her because once they do they never make that mistake again.  This is one of those mysteries, like most of Christie's, that looks one way at the beginning but has a completely different outcome. All the little clues are there but it takes a mind like Jane Marple...
