Blog postBridges by Deborah Raney
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I always enjoy a Deborah Raney book. Her Women’s Fiction tackles the problems of modern life that make relationships challenging. What is most prominent to me about BRIDGES is that the characters are so REAL, nothing contrived. Deb has a talent for this and it’s at its zenith in BRIDGES. Tess and JW are two humans who’ve been battered by life but have soldiered on. Both are mature so this is a Later in Life romance and I love thes2 months ago Read more -

Blog postMexican enchilada bake
The TV voices keep telling us that this level of inflation has not been seen since the 1970’s. Such a cheerful thought. I was a young wife in the 70’s and believe me, I could easily have lived without history repeating itself. But grumbling doesn’t help, does it? (Though I still do it!’-)
Anyway I began thinking of ways that I handled inflation then and have begun using these tactics again.

Blog post\An Aero Island Christmas Mystery by Adriana Licio
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I was so happy to find another charming cozy mystery series. The main characters are two Italian retired teachers, Etta and Dora, who decide to do home swapping so they can travel around Europe. This is the second in the series, but each story is a standalone. I usually don’t go for dogs who comment on the humans in books, especially those who are smarter than the people. It’s something that must be done3 months ago Read more
