The Sunshine Teashop by Jaimie Admans #Review

The Sunshine Teashop by Jaimie Admans was published by Boldwood Books on April 30th.  Dolly Lymford is having one of those days… 🧁 🫖 The kind that starts with dreams of opening a café… and ends with discovering your boyfriend kissing your best friend! Heartbroken and with nowhere else to go, Dolly accidentally-on-purpose borrows her now-ex-boyfriend’s campervan and drives until the road runs out. This leads her to Thimblenouth, a picture-perfect Yorkshire Dales village where life moves more slowly and the kettle is always on. After literally bumping into gorgeous local builder Reece Sterling, Dolly begins to feel something she hasn’t in a long time: safe.

Books, Life and Everything- An Introduction

Jane Austen   Pride and Prejudice

Hello! I thought I'd begin with those words from Jane Austen, as she knew a thing or two about books - and life and everything. I may as well come out and admit it. I like Jane Austen rather a lot. I may be talking about her, now and again. Don't worry though, I also like quite a few other writers, especially Henry James and Thomas Hardy. I am partial to the classics as they are known, but I do intend to broaden out  the books that I read and go for a varied mix. I am going to start with a book I recently reread for the book club I go to : George Eliot's Silas Marner.

Anyway, welcome to this blog which you have stumbled across. Stay awhile and see what you think.
