Little Beach Street Bakery

by: Jenny Colgan
Ave. Rating: 3.86
Pages: 448
Year Published: 2015 (2014)
View on Goodreads
"I have beef with the fact that this cover has a cupcake on it. This book is about BREAD! And for that, it has my heart. My heart is made of bread, basically.

This was light and lovely -- a bit sappy, but just what the doctor ordered. Jenny Colgan always delivers!

"3.5

What a crazy world! And a wild and unique detective. Our hero was easy to root for.

Overall well-written it just dragged and I got lost a bit. I think definitely read the print, don't do audio with this one, unless you can really focus."

"4.5

Between this and My Octopus Teacher, I’m obsessed with Octopi now.

I loved the concept, loved the stories. An obnoxious protagonist kept me from really raving about the story, but overall his arc was great. "

A fascinating setting full of history I've never learned about, atmosphere out the butt, a sweet and subtle love story, feminist themes and an exploration of religion and superstition. Great great great! And so much humor along the way. This author has made it onto my Must Read list!"

The Maid (Molly the Maid, #1)

by: Nita Prose
Ave. Rating: 3.76
Pages: 304
Year Published: 2022
View on Goodreads
"4.5

What a lovely heroine! The author gets you rooting for her from the start.

This would've been a solid five stars if not for the ending, which introduces plot points that feel out of character for our narrator, as well as feel like a juke on the reader.

But still worth it. Will definitely read more!"
