Ok...I love the British and British food...that said...

Sophie Dahl is so British it almost hurts! Her stories and sense of humor relate most the Anglophiles amongst us :c)

I love her and some of the recipes in this book

Only 3 stars though...fewer than 20 bookmarks :c)

A great, relatable story about what it's like to live day to day and crippling anxiety with panic attacks. I really enjoyed the characters and the setting. There are a lot of errors though and the book needs reformatting. That is why I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

<i>Many thanks for the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review</i>

Actual rating 3.5 stars

A good collection of science fiction with some really interesting concepts. I preferred His Master's Voice and the twitter Micro fiction from the collection.

Movie Favorite

"The Five Heartbeats. That movie’s awesome. It’s kind of like The Temptations, but it’s a movie about a big band, well I guess it’s the story of the band, and they’re all brothers. Like The Temptations except it’s a little funnier. I mean it stars Robert Townsend, who’s really good."

Hmm...once again, it's one of those really easy to read but not a lot happens books. I'm intrigued as to what is going to end up happening in the last book--which i currently don't have--but I'm not in much of a hurry to get it.

When i downloaded this i was expectinng it to be a simple, quick romance but was surprised to find it wasn't.

I'll admit i was a bit bored in the first 10% of the book but then she met Ryan and it became interesting and a rollercoaster of emotion.

4.5/5 stars.

At less than 200 pages, this is more of a novella than a novel. Even with the shorter format, Tyler is still able to capture our attention. You can read my #bookreview of this on my blog here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/04/26/shortstorysunday-clearly-blurry-vision/
