For The Love Of Books

Julie Klassen never ceases to amaze me with her writing! In A Castaway of Cornwall, she makes the reader feel right at home among the seaside of Cornwall as they become engrossed in her story. Character development is great, as well as the flow of the plot.  If you like historical fiction from this part of the world, you will love this book! I received a copy of this book from the publisher, but was not required to give a positive review. All opinions are my own.  

 Ashley Clark’s debut full length novel does not disappoint! I was drawn to the era Clark chose to write in as well as the geographical area. We once lived in the same county as Fairhope.  I adore split time fiction, and Clark fuses the timelines together seamlessly. Character development is great as well as the pace of the plot. I’m greatly anticipating her next novel which looks just as lovely as the first! I received a copy of this book from the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review, and all opinions are my own.

 I like to read a wide range of authors, and I really do enjoy many different books. But, there are authors who are some of my absolute favorites, and Connilyn Cossette is one of those authors.  Each story she has written has gotten better and better. I was kinda iffy going into this book just because I’ve come to love her other series that are all interconnected and I wasn’t sure if this would “measure up” to the others. I was absolutely wrong! This book is done in such an amazing fashion!  We meet entirely new characters throughout the book, and I feel as if I know them personally. Cossette lines us up with anticipation for the next book in this series by having Lukio be an active part of this first book.  My favorite part was the revelation in the tree, and a special piece about Ronen’s instrument. You’ll just have to read it to find out!  The plot moves along at a great pace that kept me interested from the first chapter to the final, moving chapter and epilogue.  I received a copy
