The Story She Left Behind

For lovers of historical fiction, and art. Reminiscent of Rosamunde Pilcher or Maeve Binchy’s tales. A story of a writer, an illustrator, a lost language, and the connection between mothers and daughters. Set in the 1950’s in Savannah, Georgia and England. I enjoyed listening to this book thru Libro.fm. The recently released hard cover is also available at the store. This is my cozy up by the fire with a cuppa tea choice for the rainy season. - Penny

Great Big Beautiful Life

My first Emily Henry. To be honest, I didn’t know if it would be my kind of book, but I downloaded on my Libro.fm account and listened to the story over a long drive. It was the perfect mix of fun. A sweet love story mixed with a little family drama, emotional wisdom, life history and more. An easy, smooth way to get through your daily drive or maybe some cleaning tasks. Have a listen or come grab your copy. - Gretchen

“Cold Kitchen” Review

“Another successful foodie book club was held last Tuesday. The overall consensus about the book was that the writer was very well versed on many subjects. She had travelled far and wide across the globe, to many places that none of our well travelled attendees had been to, for instance Siberia and Georgia. She was able to connect her travel adventures, recipes and historical references into stories that always circled back to what was on the strove in her kitchen as she cooked with her little beagle at her side, in Edinburgh, Scotland.” - Penny
