🐓BOOK REVIEW : Well Behaved Wives -Amy Sue Nathan @amysuenathan (Lake Union Publishing)
Well Behaved Wives is very hard to put down. This historical novel is full of family drama and generational clashes as young Ruth is doing her best to adapt to her newly married life and achieve her dream of becoming a lawyer.
As she is doing her best to satisfy her new in-law mother, Ruth has also to learn etiquette and lifestyle of her new posh Philadelphia neighborhood. We are in the 1960s and women are expected to stay at home, being perfect while waiting for their husband to come home. It is not what Ruth wishes for in her life and the heroine is determined to do everything she can to achieve her independence dream, while pleasing her new family.
Amy Sue Nathan‘s writing is delicious. I find myself totally immersed in the story, wanting to know more about Ruth’s life, as well as what happens to the other women of the neighborhood. Definitively a nice discovery and a very interesting historical novel.

The Autumn of Ruth Winters: A Novel by Marshall Fine 
US pub date - 11/5/24
Ruth, a 70-something retiree who cares for young children, is set in her life. It’s a bit stagnant with grief, and the adherence to a  strict schedule. But life keeps moving and this showcases Ruth’s evolution. 
Character development is strong but the final quarter of the book didn’t come together in a way that made sense to me, and this affected my overall enjoyment of the story. 
**I also really want to know where on earth a grocery store is priced so that you can purchase Pull-Ups, yogurt cups, and juice boxes for $11.21?!?! 
Thank you to Lake Union Publishing and NetGalley for the DRC

Book Review…A Bend of Light by Joy Jordan Lake Five years after the war, Amie Stilwell returns home. Jobless and discouraged but stubbornly resourceful. Waiting for her is Shibby Travis, the friend Amie never lost touch with. But the unexpected also awaits. An abandoned boy, a Boston socialite found dead in Amie’s barn and an old friend, believed to be a casualty of war, suddenly reappears. Trained to see what others cannot, to scan for clues, and to expose enemies, Amie uses her skills to protect a child, solve a crime, and find the motive behind a veteran’s masquerade. This was an interesting story. Amie is a photographic interpreter. She would take pictures behind enemy lines and would then analyze each photo to see where weapons could be hidden or where soldiers could be hidden.i never knew they did this so it was really interesting to read about. The story flows really well, the characters are wonderful and I liked the touch of romance added to the mystery! It's an engaging historical fiction story that captures you till the very end! Thank you Get Red PR and Joy Jordan Lake for sharing this book with me! #ABendofLight #JoyJordanLake #GetRedpr #books #bookreview #historicalfictionnovel #read #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #mysterybook #igbooks #igreads #bibliophile #readaholic #booksta #bookish #LakeUnionPublishing (at Cleveland, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiNf8M2L1hB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

‘if you want to see change, you have to show them what it looks like.’ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 🌻 ¡Hola, Hola! ¿Ya hay un libro que hayan leído y saben que será el favorito del año? Yo ya tengo un nominado: The Songbook of Benny Lament (aunque no soy objetiva con Amy Harmon, todo lo que escribe me encanta)⠀ En esta ocasión nos encontramos en NY de los 50s y tenemos un poquito de todo: música, romance, familia, racismo y gangsters. ⠀ Benny es un compositor talentoso, con conexiones en el medio; Esther es una cantante que quiere una oportunidad y salir del bar donde canta. ⠀ Los dos personajes son ❤. Algo que me gusta mucho de la autora es su escritura, te transporta y sus personajes son muy reales, te preocupas por ellos. ⠀ Igual que con Daisy Jones, cuando termine de leerlo quería escuchar las canciones que se mencionan pero tristemente es ficción ¿Ultimamente que han estado escuchando?⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ 🌻 Hi! It's March but you have a book that will be your favorite of the year? Mine is The Songbook of Benny Lament (although I'm not objective with Amy Harmon, I love everything she writes)⠀ This time we are in NY of the 50s and we have a little bit of everything: music, romance, family, racism and gangsters.⠀ Benny is a talented songwriter and Esther is a singer who wants a chance and gets out of the bar where she sings.⠀ The two characters are ❤️. Something I really like about the author is her writing, she transports you and her characters are very real, you care about them.⠀ As with Daisy Jones, when I finished reading it I wanted to hear the songs mentioned but sadly it is fiction.

Books and yet more to read
Tumblr media
A novel written by my soul sister – a bibliophile and eclectic reader. So many new authors and books for me to check out – and for my husband too. From classics to books with recipes in – and I love the idea of a reading group with recipes to try out from the book.
My fantasy bookshop would be run alongside a café and deli. Every week we would choose a recipe from a book – cookery or not just as her reading group did – and showcase it in the café, then sell the ingredients and book in the deli, ready packaged in the correct amounts. The recipes might be exotic or just simple like an apple pie with interesting spicing, it doesn’t matter – everything would support the other elements of the store.
A book group would sample the recipe and discuss the book – and the knitting group would attempt to knit a representation perhaps? But that needs really experienced knitters. There is an artist who does make amazing  knitted foods items.
Tumblr media
And there are lots of knitting patterns to make food too.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book – it followed the romance trope but it was the library and descriptions of books and the book-marks that sold it for me. By the way, what did happen to her library when the real one opened?

Since February is Heart Month featuring heart health awareness, my husband decided to have a heart attack so that we could fully embrace the month’s theme.

🎉 Happy book birthday to THE TWO LILA BENNETTS by Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke 🎉 I am a huge Liz/Lisa fan and always love their books. I am squeezing this one onto my #summertbrlist because it deserves special treatment and is totally worth staying up late to read 🤓 . 🌸 . #thetwolilabennetts #lakeunionpublishing #lizfenton #lisasteinke #bookbirthday #suspense #bookmail #bookswag . 🌸 . Synopsis: . Lila Bennett’s bad choices have finally caught up with her. And one of those decisions has split her life in two. Literally. In one life, she’s taken hostage by someone who appears to be a stranger but knows too much. As she’s trapped in a concrete cell, her kidnapper forces her to face what she’s done or be killed. In an alternate life, she eludes her captor but is hunted by someone who is dismantling her happiness, exposing one secret at a time. Lila’s decorated career as a criminal defense attorney, her marriage, and her life are on the line. She must make a list of those she’s wronged—both in and out of the courtroom—to determine who is out to get her before it’s too late. But even if she can pinpoint her assailant, will she survive? And if she does, which parts of her life are worth saving, and which parts must die? Because one thing’s for certain—life as Lila Bennett knew it is over. . 🌸 . #jennblogsbooks #booksharks #bookshivers #bookstagramming #bookishfeed #bookstagramaccount #bookishandproud #straightupbookish #bookstagrammerlife #bookishphoto #litlovers #bookstacommunity #readingtime #bookishloveaffair #unitedbookstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RQOIpl2ne/?igshid=jpcxuljmenby

When We Chased the Light: A Novel  by Emily Bleeker 
US pub date - 10/22/24
Picking up where When We Were Enemies left off, this brings us back to Vivian Snow’s story. 
The pacing here is slower, it brings you where it wants you to be but takes its time getting there. I found it to be an engaging sequel, and one that reads easily. 
Recommended.

"The Hint of Light" by Kristin Kisska - Book Review #LakeUnionPublishing @LUAuthors #DebutNovel #TheHintOfLight @KKMHOO #BookReview
This debut novel really packed an emotional wallop. Not only was it about the death of a young man, only in his thirties, but it also contained themes of addiction, rape, and PTSD trauma. First off, the protagonist, Maggie Dobrescu, was a woman of about my own age, so I could really identify with her. Having lost her son after his many years of alcohol abuse, she blames herself. For Maggie has a…
