Mark Twain revisited.

Revisado: 12-24-23

I interrupted a reread of Mark Twain’s autobiography, listening to a few Grisham books. Somewhere among the tales of “Ford County” i sensed Twain’s ghost wafting from the stories.

The next book awaits!

If you love dogs and puzzles…. This is a great story

Revisado: 06-07-23

Honestly, I thought this book was sorta sweet… then it really got started. There is great evil and great good here. It’s a little bit of everything you want in a Koontz story… plus some.

Jilly Bond and Rosamund Pilcher are a wonderful pair!

Revisado: 06-04-23

This book is a delightful way to relax into a weekend….pass a few travel miles….or bubble bath away taking the kids to the grocery store.🌹
Jilly Bonds voice is the perfect medium for Mrs. Pilcher’s rich European prose.

A delicious Christmas murder!

Revisado: 12-23-22

If you like a little murder, with a little romance, a little intrigue and lot of hot chocolate and snickerdoodles…. This is your book!
I listened to Slays during the December storm of 22….while healing from covid, surfing all the bad news and political hullabaloo so….What a relief, to find a book so charming and well read that the sound of the freezing roaring wind was upstaged by family and food, fun and Christmas. This world needs a big dose of this kinder gentler writing. We have gotten away from life’s simple pleasures, cupcakes and friends.
So, if you want a…Calgon take me away moment, have a listen.

Chicken soup for your spirit….

Revisado: 12-05-22

What lovely books this and the previous one! These days , which seem filled with troubles, necessitate a bit of simple , charming peacefulness. I believe you too shall find Mrs. Tweads books to have just that gift to offer. Jilly Bond is totally the cream cheese icing on the cake. Her reading of Pilcher works were magical. Same here. Take a trip with this book…

I love All of Pilcher’s books…except this one.

Revisado: 05-24-22

I read Flowers in the rain when I was 35, (I’m 58 now), and fell in love. Since that wonderful introduction , I have considered Rosamund Pilcher’s books some of my absolute favorites, over the years. I have them all….
So, when my husband pointed out that Audible had another Pilcher’s book, in their lineup, I was pretty amazed, seeing that she had passed away. But, obviously, some authors works are presented posthumously.
I have now listened to each of these short stories. They simply aren’t as good as Pilcher’s other books. It’s like they are outlines with good ideas, but there is little character development, frequent unexplained changes in course, and the endings are often abrupt.
Maybe it’s just me. It’s like these stories weren’t completed enough prior to the authors death, but afterwards they were put out there. I will never think Rosamund Pilcher’s would have wanted these stories publish. She was an incredible author. This collection isn’t her best work.

Read it. If you liked the first book....you will really like this one. Koontz has some extremely likable characters here. The Odd one shines🌞
