The moment I heard Elizabeth St John was writing a dual timeline story I went OOOOOO. Not because I haven’t enjoyed her pure historicals -I have, even if they have often made me cry – but because Ms St.John is a very skilled author, and I am a big fan of sual timelines. A win-win,

Today, I am hosting a stop on Janet Wertman’s Coffee Pot Book Club blog tour featuring her latest release, What love e’er meant. I give you – well, Ms Wertman does – Elizabeth I in an England rocked by religious differences and constantly threatened by Spain and France. And Scotland – although that is mostly

I must start by apologising: I should have posted this some days ago, but e-mails got crossed, my brain went on a blink, and so this Coffee Pot Book Club blog tour post is 48 hrs late. Euuw! Makes me feel itchy all over. Anyway: today I am welcoming Ms Alvear and her book The

Oh my, oh my. When I first picked up Ms Appleyard’s latest release, I was expecting to find it interesting. I did not quite expect to become so utterly engrossed I spent hours breaking off to research further, or to break off my reading to turn to hubby and say “did you know…” before launching
Today, I am welcoming Bart A. Charlow and his book That Catskill Summer to my blog – this as part of his Coffee Pot Book Club tour. I had only the vaguest idea of where the Catskills were located (even if I have VERY clear memories of Dirty Dancing) but now, after some time spent
heToday, I am visited by Jan Matthews and her book The Last Fatal Hour, set in teh aftermath of the American Civil War. I imagine reinventing yourself after having been very close to the horrors of battle is hard, but Leona Gladney seems to be doing fine – until things go awfully wrong… I give

Today, I am visited by A.B. Michaels who is on a Coffee Pot Book Club tour with her book, The Twisted Road. I am somewhat partial to stories set in early 20th century San Francisco, and as to that earthquake, well, I had a phase when I totally adored Clark Gable (he was very, very
I learned something new today: I had no idea PTSD was called nostalgia back in the 129th century – even if I can well believe people sneered and named the sufferers cowards. I think, sadly, that happens today as well to those permanently scarred by traumatic events. Today, I am hosting Ms Willey who has

Some weeks ago, I posted my review (and her interesting guest post) of Char Newcomb’s latest, Rogues and Kings. Today, she visits as part of her Coffee Pot Book Club – this time with a snippet. And yes, I do believe this book deserves a lot of shout-outs, predominantly because I think it is an
