A Quilt for Christmas by Melody Carlson

Posted

Vera Swanson recently lost her husband and decided to relocate to be nearer one of her children and grandchildren. She packed up the old family home and moved across the country, only to find out a short while later that her daughter's family was moving away due to work.

With Thanksgiving out of the way and Christmas around the corner (which she seems to have to spend on her own) her spirits are down. A sudden knock on her door sets in motion a whole raft of events, involving making new friends and sharing her love of quilting with a group of beginners.

Hearth-warming and thoroughly enjoyable read for the holiday season! This will be perfect for the informal book club I run in my online quilting group (20k members). 

PS. Is there any chance there may be a pattern available to make the Nordic Star quilt on the cover (of the version used on Netgalley)? It seems to be made up of a couple of different blocks rather than just a full repeat of the traditional Nordic Star quilt block.

Captivated by Callie by Jennifer Bishop

Posted
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

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

Posted
"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!
