The Little Cottage by the Cornish Sea by Nancy Barone #Review

  It's back to Cornwall for a great summer read. Nancy Barone's The Little Cottage by the Cornish Sea was published by Aria on July 3rd. Life doesn't always go to plan . . . After a messy breakup and a nightmare boss, Kate swaps the chaos of London for the calm of Starry Cove—the charming seaside village she loved as a child. She arrives hoping for peace and a fresh start. But life has other plans: Kate soon discovers she's going to be a mother. As she navigates small-town life (and morning sickness), Kate finds friendship in the 'coastal girls'—a warm, welcoming group who help her land a job with Piers, the reclusive owner of the local manor. He's guarded, grumpy and impossible to read... but there's more to him than meets the eye. As feelings grow and secrets slowly come to light, Kate must decide if s he's ready to open her heart again—and whether Starry Cove could be the home she's been searching for all along .   My Thoughts   After...

It's A Bright World To Feel Lost In by Mawson **Review**


Today I am featuring a slightly different book to the usual for Books, Life and Everything- It's A Bright World To Feel Lost In by Mawson, a writer bear. 

It's a gift book- a picture book for adults. Here's a little more about it. 


Are you feeling a little lost? Got that ‘left in the spare room’ emptiness about you? Mawson does too.



He sits atop his cushion and ponders about baffling things.

The world is a funny place for a curious teddy bear to live in. Friends approach him about their own dilemmas. They seek instant answers that will make everything all right. Mawson does his best. But after he ponders deeply, most things remain for him just as baffling as they were before.

Take a moment out of your day to pawse with him and explore the world. For the many frazzled readers who feel, secretly, much the same, he offers the comfort that the world is a bright place to be.


My Thoughts


It's A Bright World To Feel Lost In is a lovely way to spend a calming half hour, looking at its bright photographs and reading Mawson Bear's ponderings on life. He has the clear sight of a child when thinking about losing something important and dealing with both the ups and downs in life. It's a short read at 50 pages with minimum text but full of colour and even a touch of humour to offset the sadder moments. Anyone who has ever experienced how it feels to be left behind will appreciate Mawson's wise words.
