Christmas Secrets at Villa Limoncello by Daisy James- womens fiction
Izzy works as a designer however a short while ago she took a trip to Italy and fell in
love not only with the country. She loves Luca and is helping him run courses at Villa
Limoncello whilst he and some friends are renovating it. Luca seems a little distant
so she is not sure what is going on and he wopn;t be drawn on the matter. The course
gets underway for a choir who each morning are either cooking or crafting. Their
leader Nick is rather a bully and Izzy catches him having a go at several of the
members of the choir. When a plant pot falls rather close to Nick’s head she wonders
if someone has a different agenda. I learnt something from this book -apart from
having to keep looking up the wonderful baking goodies mentioned. There are
recipes at the back including how to make Lemoncello. Yum! I learnt  that I am a
locavore- someone who eats locally sourced food as much as possible. I really
enjoyed reading this. SOmething that little bit different. Of making the most of
your life, even through the difficulties that life may throw at us, to follow your
heart and most of all do what makes you happy which isn’t always what is
expected of us. Although the recipes and crafts are seasonal this is a book
that could be enjoyed any time of year. A wonderful uplifting read.

Andorra Pett and the Oort Cloud- Cafe- Richard Dee-  4* Andi has landed on a mining station a week away from Mars. She takes on the “ucky strike cafe” (the “L” fell off) - its previous owner having disappeared leaving outstanding debts. Her business partner Cy is right behind her. Much to her surprise they find the previous guy in the freezer - in a body bag. Being on a different planet means there are rules about refuse and hence they decide to leave him there having little choice in the matter. Andi wants to find out more about a secret book that he had and who murdered him. This is a wonderful, lighthearted read to make you smile. Characters that are well portrayed and you take to easily. Descriptions are vivid and you can easily picture “the planet” in your minds eye. An excellent plot line with a little humour and even romance along the way. A highly enjoyable read.

  More Life as a Dog by LA Davenport- memoirs/humour This is the second in the series (both happily stand alone) about Kevin the dachshund, the “meat seeking missile” and his adventures with his human. Human has a new girlfriend and it’s a nervous time when Kevin is taken to be introduced to her dog. Will he behave or let them both down? This is written in the first person from the humans point of view and tells of outings they have such as a trip back to London after a day out,  but turned into an adventure due to running out of petrol. From meeting Amy Winehouse to poor Kevin being kicked there are the highs and lows of their lives. This is a fun,  light hearted read especially for any dog lover.  Although told from the human perspective, it's told with Kevin at the heart of things. It's heart-warming, it's very touching and also that for some of us, we have overcome much due to having that canine companion at our side. A short, beautiful read. One for over a coffee or t

  Holmes, Marple and Poe by James Patterson-mystery thriller Oh wow! A book I wanted to devour in one helping but didn't want it to end. Holmes, Marple and Poe are PI’s and have just started their own agency together. Each one has particular talents although all are highly attuned to finding out the whys and wherefores to solve a crime. Holmes for example is hyperosmic and can detect scents amongst the normal ones the rest of us can. Are they their real names? Of that we are not sure but what we can be certain of is that they are good at their job, very good and the police department calls them in when things are starting to get beyond them or where they would rather not be involved. Each one has their own secrets from their lives before they got together. Can they solve the crimes and stay under the radar? This is my first James Patterson book. I know , I know, I must have been hiding under a rock. Brilliant and page turning doesn't do this justice. It looks like I have rather
