This Christmas by Emma Heatherington

Posted

When Christmas is no longer your thing and you don't want to be the Debbie Downer ruining the season for everyone, then you book yourself a cottage in a secluded space and prepare to hunker down throughout the "festive" season.

However, when someone else has exactly the same plan and end up at the same cottage as you, suddenly the "alone at Christmas" no longer is a possibility.

I love how Rose and Charlie awkwardly cope with the situation, sending text messages and leaving notes for each other in the kitchen - all in an effort to allow the other one to be alone. 

As the story develops the many layers of the characters come to life and it's easy to get invested in their wellbeing and cheering them on! There is happiness, but also sadness in this story and some parts may be better read in privacy than on the commute...

I highly recommend this Christmas story, even in April!!

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!
