Warleggan by Winston Graham My rating: 4 of 5 stars I still love this series, but this book really annoyed me at the end. It doesn’t have “an ending,” it just quits. I hate that! Thankfully, I’ve watched the entire TV series that Masterpiece Theater did so I know how it was supposed to end.Continue reading “Warleggan”

Popp’s Journal
Popp’s Journal, 1777-1783; by Stephan Popp My rating: 2 of 5 stars I was expecting something with … details. This is as minimalistic as possible. However, I did find one fact I was looking for to corroborate a historical fact I needed to research. So it was worth it. But seriously, it’s very shy ofContinue reading “Popp’s Journal”
One More River to Cross
One More River to Cross by Jane Kirkpatrick My rating: 5 of 5 stars Disclaimer: I love Jane Kirkpatrick’s books! I haven’t read a clunker yet. She writes about real historical people who survived incredible hardships to settle America’s far western states. Her stories are gritty, realistic, and I can get lost in them inContinue reading “One More River to Cross”

New England Citizen Soldiers of the Revolutionary War
New England Citizen Soldiers of the Revolutionary War: Minutemen Mariners by Robert A. Geake My rating: 4 of 5 stars Very good information, a lot of it new to me, about the Patriot militia. I found parts of it a bit hard to follow, however, so I can’t call it an easy read. More –Continue reading “New England Citizen Soldiers of the Revolutionary War”
Stumbling Upon Romance
Stumbling Upon Romance by Sally Jo Pitts My rating: 4 of 5 stars A cute contemporary romance with quirky characters and a lot of dogs. You gotta love a story with a lot of dogs in it. At least, I do!
The Twin Bargain
The Twin Bargain by Lisa Cox Carter My rating: 3 of 5 stars If you like standardized Christian fiction, you’ll love this one. It uses all the catchphrases in Christian fiction today. For me, it used too many of them. But the twin girls in the story are adorable and the hero does the rightContinue reading “The Twin Bargain”
A Rancher to Trust
A Rancher to Trust by Laurel Blount My rating: 5 of 5 stars I don’t read a lot of contemporary romances because my heart lies with the historicals, but I picked up a copy of this one and gave it a try. After all, who doesn’t like a handsome rancher hero, right? This story wasContinue reading “A Rancher to Trust”
Jeremy Poldark
Jeremy Poldark by Winston Graham My rating: 5 of 5 stars It’s official. I’m hooked on this series! This one, like Demelza, was followed very closely by the TV series. I could “see” the actors in the scenes as I was reading. But it goes deeper – as books do – into the thoughts behindContinue reading “Jeremy Poldark”
Demelza
Demelza by Winston Graham My rating: 5 of 5 stars I liked this book even better than Ross Poldark, the first book in the series. That may be because the TV series followed this book more closely, but for whatever reason, it was wonderful. There are differences between the TV series and the books, mostlyContinue reading “Demelza”
