Since You've Bean Gone by Lainey Davis (Farm 2 Forking)

Posted

Since you’ve been gone is the first book in an author collaboration project. It was written by writer goddess Lainey Davis - it’s safe to say this is going to be another success!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to Lainey Davis for allowing me to be part of your secret ARC squad for this book! I am not 100% sure if I should post this review now or wait until closer to release day - 9 May 2024, but it's a FAB book, so here goes!!

Since You've Bean Gone by Lainey Davis is the first in the Farm 2 Forking series of books, each written by a different author. The authors are: Lainey Davis, Liz Alden, Karen Grey, Erin Mallon and Ember Leigh.

Bedd Fellows Farm, in the fictional town of Fork Lick, New Your is in trouble. The five Bedd siblings have inherited a heap of debt, along with Baa-bara the troublesome sheep, and they’re all too stubborn to accept the help they need to dig their way out of the compost pile.

The foreclosure is handled by Lia, the ex of Ethan, the oldest Bedd and there are tension all around, and some romance, some laughter and a lot of smiling, especially when the meddling grandma and her sheep are involved.

I have not come across the other four authors, but I'm looking forward to reading their contributions to Fork Lick!

Related to the Farm 2 Forking series by Davis and her author friends, is the recently released Against the Grain, the first book in the Planted and Plowed series.

The Harbour Lights Mystery by Emylia Hall

Posted
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

Posted
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

Posted
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...
