Meg Dean (138 KP) rated The Difference a Day Makes in Books

Jun 20, 2018

I spent the majority of this book hating the main character! She complained about everything! I mean come on lady...get-up for an adventure! Change isn't always a bad thing!

Then I had to remind myself...it's just a book!

I loved how this one ended! At the risk of a **SPOILER** I will say...she came around in the end and did the right thing for herself & her kids!

I did however LOVE the dog! Hamish is so like my Daisy!

A solid 4 stars...it is Carole Matthews so it's a minimum of 3 for me anyway!!!

Book Rating

This is a book where coloured maids in 1963 are afraid to speak up. This is a book where they gain the courage to tell a white lady what actually happens inside their lives. No one is ready to hear the truth, everyone is scared for their future, but bravery is a strong attire to have, and the maids prove they have what it takes. Lot of courage, lots of excitement, anxiety and me biting my nails over and over again, but definitely book that's worth reading. And definitely a book that will open your eyes about what actually happened back then.

Roxanne (13 KP) rated My Mini Midwife: Everything You Need to Know About Pregnancy and Birth in Books

Nov 9, 2018

This book is all you need for everything you need or want to know about you and your bump. I would recommend this to every pregnant lady. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it is aimed at the 'traditional' pregnancy with the 'traditional' family plan...not with any support to an unplanned pregnancy or perhaps a single mother to be. This is probably not intentionally one sided but it would have been even more helpful with some information perhaps dedicated to a family which may not necessarily be seen as 'the norm'.

David McK (3623 KP) rated Jeeves and the Yule-tide Spirit in Books

Jan 28, 2019

Short free-to-download (form Amazon) Jeeves story, in which Bertie Wooster is off to Skelding Hall to stay with Lady Wickham and her daughter Bobbie, the latest of Wooster's desires in a change of plans from their intended visit to Monte Carlo

Also staying are Roderick and Tuppy Glossop, leading Bertie to (attempt to) get his own back on Tuppy for a previous slight, with his (or Bobbie's) plan involving a hot water bottle and a darning needle ...

Needless to say, things go wrong once again, and Jeeves ends up both saving the day and the trip to Monte Carlo ...
