A Cornish Odyssey by Axel Forrester

Travel writing, inspirational and humour all mixed together; and what a better place to cover than beloved Cornwall! 

Grant, a disgruntled photography teacher based in the US, lets faith decide where he's going on holiday and ends up booking a solo walking holiday along parts of the Cornish coast in the UK. The travel organiser books small B&B's along the route and also arranges for Grant's luggage to seamlessly arrive at the next destination. All Grant has to do is walk; or catch the bus...

This is as much about the beautiful coastal path in Cornwall, as it is about Grant taking a thorough look at his own life and figuring out what he really wants to do. Some of that decision is taken from him, but he finds a way.  

Thank you for an amazingly entertaining book. 

PS. I don't usually comment on other reviews, but having seen one mentioning lots of swearing and the f-bomb, and taking off TWO stars for that, I did a search and I only found ONE location with anything resembling an f-bomb; and then with ****ed at the end; a typical British way of describing not so great a day. Another search revealed that the word 'damn' is used four times. When reading this lovely book, the language did not offend me in any way and other books have been, let's say, using richer language.

Captivated by Callie by Jennifer Bishop is the first book in the Flamingo Cove series.  Devon Steel, as retired military returns to Flamingo Cove to start his new boating business.  Callie Hargraves is on the run and hopes that Flamingo Cove will be a safe place to hide out. Things don't always go to plan and they soon realise that there is some attraction that is hard to resist between them. Unfortunately Callie's past is catching up with her, and Devon ends up having to help her stay safe.  Easy read, a bit of romance, a few smiles, feel good and enjoyable.  #CaptivatedbyCallie #NetGalley

The Pucking Proposal by Lauren Landish

Pre-game rituals must be taken seriously, even when they seem completely outrageous - and indecent!  Hilariously believable.  Hockey trope. Brother's best friend. Playing to win. Pub Date: 18 Feb 2025 Part of Maple Creek series #ThePuckingProposal #NetGalley

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
