The Christmas Wedding Quilt by Emilie Richards, Janice Kay Johnson and Sarah Mayberry

Feel-good story with three cousins who all meet a new man in the process of making a round robin quilt for their fourth cousin

Authors: Emilie Richards, Janice Kay Johnson and Sarah Mayberry

The Christmas Wedding Quilt is split into three different sections, each written by a different author.

The story starts off in Let It Snow by Emilie Richards. Jo's aunt Glo has recently passed away but due to work commitment Jo didn't make it to her funeral. With the deal gone to pot, it's a rather deflated Jo who returns home to a find a parcel from her deceased aunt waiting for her. Inside is a quilt block and spare fabrics which Glo asks Jo to turn into a quilt together with two of her cousins to give to Olivia, their fourth cousin (and Glo's daughter) as a wedding present.

In the second part, called You Better Watch Out and written by Janice Kay Johnson, we meet one of the cousins, Ella. Coming back to where she's parked her car she spots that it is being stolen right in front of her eyes. She starts chasing it on foot but smacks straight into a stranger, who she somehow manages to convince to take up the chase of her car.

Concluding the story in Nine Ladies Dancing, Sarah Mayberry lets us follow Rachel as she adds the third and final border to the quilt with expert guidance from a local quilter.

...a message of love from beyond the grave from Aunt Gloria to her daughter Olivia, a lovingly crafted reminder that although Olivia had lost her mother, she would always have her love.

The Harbour Lights Mystery by Emylia Hall

Lovely, laid back off-season Cornwall is the scene for The Harbour Lights Mystery written by Emylia Hall. It's the second book about the Shell House Detectives, but you can read it standalone (although you may like it as much as I did and read the first book in the series afterwards!). December in Cornwall and there are probably more locals than tourists attending when the famous Christmas lights are turned on in Mousehole harbour. Ally, one half of the Shell House Detectives, is watching the lights with her friend Gus and she's worrying that he may be after more than friendship. Anything that was about to be said is abruptly stopped when there is a piercing scream ripping through the darkness. Joining the crowds, Ally finds out that someone has been brutally murdered and dumped in a fisherman’s boat. It turns out that the victim is the not so very popular chef JP Sharpe, but what has Ally and her detective partner intrigued is an unfinished letter found in Sharpe's coat p...

The Social Distance Between Us / Hostile Environments by Darren McGarvey

This book seems to have two different titles: 'Hostile Environments' and ' The Social Distance Between Us: How Remote Politics Wrecked Britain' This is a MUST read!! A real eye opener and a perfect book to base important discussions on. Yes, the book contains views belonging to certain political camps, but the painstakingly detailed research that has gone into creating this book including a huge number of real life examples make Darren McGarvey and his book forces to be reckoned with. Politicians, policy makers and those who want to, or more importantly can , influence decision making in Britain, should make it a priority to read this book. The book extensively discusses how proximity is one of the biggest reasons for failure in most of the political system used in Britain today. The lack of actual lived experience of policy makers in Whitehall and the devolved nations, make policies fail miserably; in many cases not by ill-intent, but because the policy makers just c...

The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club by Wanda E Brunstetter

This is not your typical quilting club! Title: The Half-Stitched Amish Quilting Club Author: Wanda E Brunstetter Quick and easy read with some heartwarming sections; all in all a feel-good, easy read. Emma (an Amish widow) decides to start a quilting club to earn some extra money to support herself, rather than getting re-married or relying on her children to take care of her. Joining her quilt club is an unlikely mixture of people from outside the Amish community; young Star is holding a grudge against her mother at the same time as trying to cope with her beloved grandma’s recent passing; on the surface Ruby Lee is well put together but underneath not everything is as it seems; Pam and Stuart have been married for a while but has started to grow apart; biker Jan is covered in tattoos and on parole from prison when his parole officer suggests he tries something creative; finally we have Paul who is trying to build a life after his wife passed away and left him with the...
