Way to London Alix Rickloff

I'm very pleased to welcome you to my stop on the blog tour of The Way to London. As many of you know, I'm always up for what's new in WWII fiction and books set in England so I was very pleased to have the opportunity to participate in the tour. The Way to London is very much a character driven novel that provided a fresh and somewhat lighter read than many WWII novels already on my shelf. The ...

Throwback Thursday

Throwback Thursday is a weekly meme hosted by Renee at It’s Book Talk. Throwback Thursday is an awesome opportunity to share old favorites as well as older books in our TBR. I love this idea as I only started blogging about a year and a half ago. Therefore, I have lots of old favorites to talk about.

Review of “The Girl from the Train” by Irma Joubert

December 26, 2015 by Ann Marie 1 Comment

I appreciated the details that made it very obvious that the author had ...
