Last Chance Cafe by Liz Byrski ...

Last Chance Cafe cover

This book ... was good, not fantastic. More seniors lit than chick lit, as in the era of the characters featured.

Might look into another book by this author in the future.

The Book Thief ...



Finished this last night ... wow ... I loved it!!

When I started reading I thought "oh this is written in a strange way" but I stuck with it and I loved it! 

The book is written basically from the perspective of the grim reaper looking down on the goings on of a girl and her family and friends during the Second World War.

Highly recommend it!

Friends, Lovers and Chocolate ...

Friends, Lovers, Chocolate



Finished this one today by Alexander McCall Smith, the second in the Isabel Dalhousie series.


I'd have to say I enjoyed reading it but not as much as the first one. 


It is a fairly easy read but there are bits that can be skimmed over and it didn't really feel like a crime novel as such.


I didn't think the story line was as strong.


It could be read without reading the first one as the scene is set and the relevant info in the first book basically explained.


I think I will try the third novel in the series but not just yet!! There are seven novels in the series.
