What I Say:

A new book from Alex Brown is always exciting! She has proven to be one of the most reliable authors around. Her books always bring a smile to my face and usually make me shed a little tear.

Alex creates the most wonderful settings and scenes within her books. The way she describes places draws you straight in and makes you feel like you're really there. In this book, I was whisked away to glorious Italy. The sun was shining, I could smell the citrus in the air and feel the warm breeze. It was heavenly.

Grace and Connie are both wonderful characters to follow. I really enjoyed how their stories unfolded and intertwined. It was exciting and moving at the same time. I related to Grace a lot. I've been through a lot of what she's been through, so watching her grow and develop was wonderful. She inspired me quite a lot. 

I loved the elegance and drama that emanated from Connie's diaries. I cried for her, I yearned to see the places she'd been and I am happy I found the kind of love she did. Her story will touch a lot of people. 

There's nothing I didn't love about A Postcard From Italy! It really was a stunning book! Grab a glass of Prosecco and get reading! You won't regret it! 10/10

Tishylou Is Making A Comeback!

  Hi! Fancy seeing you here! Well, actually, fancy seeing ME here as I'm the one who has been AWOL. Life has been changing so much for me these past 3 years that my love of blogging got pushed aside. But I just celebrated my 49th birthday and felt compelled to revive my blog. I have still been reading and reviewing, but it's mainly been short posts on my social media pages, like Tiktok and Instagram. I really miss long form reviews and the personal posts I used to share with you. So, I'm going back to my roots. I plan on doing a Get To Know Me post soon for those of you who aren't familiar with me and my crazy life. That will be followed by bringing and expanding some of my Tiktok reviews on here. I have chosen 10 very special books for my first 2 weeks of posts, and I hope you'll feel how much I love them and what they mean to me.  So, I'll leave you with this for now. To those who have always supported and encouraged me, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ...

Hi friends! Long time no see! I have been so bad at blogging, and any book reviews I've done have been just on my social media pages. But it's tradition that when a new Heidi Swain book comes out, it HAS to appear on my blog! In fact, my last blog post was almost a year ago, for a Heidi book. If  you  know me at all, you know I love being in Heidi's books. They are so comforting, wholesome and hope filled.
