Uncharmed by Lucy Jane Wood is the second book in the Rewitched cozy fantasy series, but takes place before the events of Rewitched. Wood introduces us to Andromeda “Annie” Wildwood, a witch who prides herself on perfection, but is she truly happy? When she is assigned to train an orphaned teenage witch, life throws some unexpected turns.
I devoured Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree as soon as it released. I love the world and characters he has created. Narrated by the author, this story takes us back to Viv’s past when she was just starting out as a mercenary. Brilliant from beginning to end, fantasy fans will want to grab this one.
I was drawn to The Book Haters’ Book Club by Gretchen Anthony with it’s promise of book talk, humor and family. This women’s fiction story delivered a heart-felt humorous story about the Over the Rainbow Bookstore and what happens when one co-owners dies… the one who actually loved books.
I love historical fiction steeped in history, so how could I resist, The Paris Bookseller by Kerri Maher. The author shares a peek into the life of American Sylvia Beach, who opened a bookstore/lending library called Shakespeare and Company on a quiet street in Paris. Famous authors, lovers and one woman’s efforts to see a banned book published. Grab a cuppa and see why book lovers need to add this to their bookshelf.
I enjoy slipping into one of Diane Quincy’s historical romances and was delighted to return to the Clandestine Affairs series with the second novel; The Viscount Made Me Do It. Read on to see why I found an Arab female bonesetter and a sexy, outcast Viscount so enchanting. A touch of suspense, culture and swoons await you.
