The Truth About Lies by Tracy Darnton . Review

The story is set in Dartmoor in England and is about a girl called Jess who is exceptionally smart , her memory is incredible , she can remember every single thing that has ever happened to her , both good and bad , eek!

When her roommate falls to her death it all begins a spiral into her past as she tries to figure out who is friend or foe and if everything she is remembering is true or could she be missing something . 

This was a great read , the story goes back and forth in time and we get glimpses of her younger life and why she is the way she is now , the story keeps you guessing and I had to read it all in one go it was just so enticing. I also really enjoyed the memory games throughout the book , they were really fun and probably the reason why it took me so long to finish this  great read . Go get this , Jess is amazing ! 

I received this book for review form the lovely people over at lovereading4kids.co.uk

Knit , Purl , Die by Anne Canadeo . Review

 This is book 2 in the Black Sheep Knitting Mystery series by Anne Canadeo featuring all my favorite characters from book 1 ( While My Pretty One Knits ) . In this book the Black Sheep Knitters are stunned by a death of one of their own in a most grim manner and it’s up to the ladies to find out just what exactly did happen to their friend  . I loved this book as much as the first ......  the camaraderie in the knitting group .... the small town setting ...... the interesting characters and the plot with a huge twist at the end ... it was awesome ! 

I can’t recommend this series high enough , if you enjoy your mysteries with a side of crafts then these are the books for you . I have already began the next book , book 3 in the series and I am loving it . Go get this!

The Little Library Cookbook by Kate Young . Review

I have been a reader all my life and what’s even more enjoyable about reading is the foods beloved characters come across n the stories . If you too enjoy this , OH how you will love this book .

With a foodie bookish quote at the beginning of each recipe and a chat from the author underneath it is a loving combination of book love and foodie love which both together blend into something heavenly . Go read this book lovers !

Jane Of Lantern Hill by L. M Montgomery. Review

I am a huge fan of the Anne Of Green Gables series and I have not read anything else by the author( I know ! I should really get on to that )  , I don’t know why it has taken me so long to get round to reading this book as it has been on my radar for a long time . I wish I had not left it as long .....let’s talk ! 

The story is about a young girl called Jane who lives with her beautiful mother and pernickety grandmother who she does not really like , her grandmother is a hard woman to live with who enjoys finding the faults in everyone and everything much to the disappointment of those around her . The three of them live in a big house in Toronto severely lacking any kind of warmth  . Jane’s father she believed was dead until one day she finds out different when she gets an invite to Prince Edward Island to stay with him for the summer and get to know him much to the surprise of everyone !

This was such a dreamy book of hopes and dreams , beautiful settings , with rich characters and a very memorable plot . 

If you have been a fan of Anne Of Green Gables then don’t hesitate to pick this up , it was lovely being back on Prince Edward Island again with another smart , funny young lady . Sigh .... I loved it !
