When their professional competition leads to a very personal-and very hot-kiss, both Wells and Gwyn are determined to stay away from each other, convinced the kiss was just a magical fluke. When he opens up a shop of his own, Penhallow’s, just across the street from Something Wicked, he quickly learns he’s gotten more than he bargained for in going up against Gwyn. Wells has come to Graves Glen to re-establish his family’s connection to the town they founded as well as to make a new life for himself after years of being the dutiful son in Wales. As Halloween approaches, there’s only one problem-Llewellyn “Wells” Penhallow. She, her mom, and her cousin have formed a new and powerful coven she’s running a successful witchcraft shop, Something Wicked and she’s started mentoring some of the younger witches in town. Gwyn Jones is perfectly happy with her life in Graves Glen. The follow-up to Erin Sterling’s New York Times bestselling hit The Ex Hex features fan favorite Gwyn and the spine-tinglingly handsome Wells Penhallow as they battle a new band of witches and their own magical chemistry.

Georgie doesn’t want to be anyone’s sacrifice, and besides, they could never think of each other as anything more than childhood friends… or could theyīut as they embark upon their unorthodox courtship they discover a new twist to the age-old rhyme. It might not have been the most romantic of proposals, but Nicholas never thought she’d say no. But when he discovers that Georgie Bridgerton-his literal girl-next-door-is facing ruin, he knows what he must do. He has a life in Edinburgh, where he’s close to completing his medical studies, and he has no time-or interest-to find a wife. But with her reputation hanging by a thread after she’s abducted for her dowry, Georgie is given two options: live out her life as a spinster or marry the rogue who has ruined her life.Īs the fourth son of an earl, Nicholas Rokesby is prepared to chart his own course. She’d just thought she’d have some say in the matter. Georgiana Bridgerton isn’t against the idea of marriage. from #1 New York Times bestselling author Julia Quinn In the fourth of the Bridgerton prequel series, following The Other Miss Bridgerton, we go back to where it all began. There were Bridgertons before the eight alphabetically named siblings. But since Suthern Hicks seems to have been inspired by the comedy-into-melodrama formula of Steel. The Taber’s performing space is an awkward church auditorium, but Hicks’ set design helps create a trailer park mood, though Jean Sportelli’s lights remain bright regardless of the time of day. As its title suggests, the hankies come out late in Turtle Tears at the Taber Theatre. Gallagher plays the painfully sensitive Bethany better with looks than words, but Rae is lucky to play the one character who has to go through some wringing changes-watch her tough exterior just melt away. The performances often telegraph who we should and shouldn’t be rooting for, so Cozzi is a warm but crusty desert mama while Klein milks Margie’s nastiness. It stacks the deck when it should be trying for some truth. “Turtle Tears” only begins to delve into the unspoken presumptions that exist between mothers and daughters Margie isn’t just a money-grubber out to destroy Desi’s attachment to her desert land, but the play doesn’t let Margie make her case.

This is a fast read, and nobody says you can’t read beach books in the fall. The ending isn’t happily ever after, but there is the feeling that these women are all better equipped to manage their lives than they were at the beginning of the book. Each of the women has issues with loss, unemployed husbands, self-image, infidelity, or unfortunate in-laws, but most are resolved at the end. They meet another young mother who has her own tragic past, and take her into their circle of friends. Each of the women has her own unhappy circumstances to deal with, but they come to rely on one another as their lives unfold. The setting is New York City, where three very different strangers meet in a prenatal yoga class and become acquaintances and then fast friends. Those who are not mothers might think twice before getting pregnant! Anyone who is a mother will identify with something in this book. Little Earthquakes is chick lit, but good chick lit. Somehow I missed this book when it came out, and went directly from In Her Shoes to Goodnight, Nobody. Brooks, a White writer, risks criticism for appropriation by telling portions of these alternating storylines from Jarret’s and Theo’s points of view in addition to those of Jess and several other White characters. (Theo and Jess first meet when she sees him unlocking an expensive bike identical to hers and implies he’s trying to steal it-before he points hers out further down the same rack.) The horse is Lexington, “the greatest racing stallion in American turf history,” nurtured and trained from birth by Jarret, an enslaved man who negotiates with this extraordinary horse the treacherous political and racial landscape of Kentucky before and during the Civil War. That puts him in touch with Jess, the Smithsonian’s “expert in skulls and bones,” who happens to be examining the same horse's skeleton, which is in the museum's collection. In 2019, Nigerian American Georgetown graduate student Theo plucks a dingy canvas from a neighbor’s trash and gets an assignment from Smithsonian magazine to write about it. A long-lost painting sets in motion a plot intertwining the odyssey of a famed 19th-century thoroughbred and his trainer with the 21st-century rediscovery of the horse’s portrait. The oldest girls, Tilly and Prue, decide to finish the dinner though they had never made a turkey with stuffing before, nor had they ever cooked plum pudding. The story line is simple: Mother and Father are called away suddenly the day before Thanksgiving because Grandma was “failin’ fast,” leaving their 8 children behind.

This story’s descriptions however, folded me into its time and place such that the Bassett farmhouse was a home I truly wanted to visit and live in, even for a short time: I never was a fan of descriptive writing, wishing instead for the plot line to simply proceed. It’s a simple story of a time long ago and far away (very early 19th century), starring a country family in New Hampshire, “poor in money, but rich in land and love …” Familiar themes but I never grow tired of them, especially when the world today is so full of uncertainty and misery.
