Athena Report post Posted July 6, 2016 It's a lovely easy read. I managed to read two of the stories in one day. Definitely one to have. That's good to know . I hope you enjoy The Cake Shop in the Garden . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sazza Report post Posted July 6, 2016 So I just finished The Cake Shop in the Garden. It was a ok book. I didn't find myself totally in love with it. One character made me laugh out loud as I have a friend who is just like her and I could picture her saying all these things. The ending was a bit blugh as it was obvious that was the choice that would be made. Not sure if I saw another book by Carole Matthews that I would jump to read it. Now after doing my little IP dip do rhyme I've picked A Sixpenny Christmas by Katie Flynn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Athena Report post Posted July 7, 2016 I've read For Better, For Worse and Let's Meet on Platform 8 by Carole Matthews, and I didn't like either of them. I don't think I'll be picking up any of her books any time soon. Shame The Cake Shop in the Garden wasn't enjoyable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sazza Report post Posted July 8, 2016 Oh I'm glad I'm not the only person who hasn't enjoyed her work. I've just finished A Sixpenny Christmas and it was wonderful. I really couldn't put it down. Definitely one to read. Now for The Fault in our Stars by John Green... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sazza Report post Posted July 14, 2016 So I read a The Fault in our Stars...it was ok, I'd seen the film before I read the book and feel this maybe spoiled it a bit for me. It wasn't as good as I expected but hey ho. I then went on and read You Are My Sunshine by Judith Saxton aka Katie Flynn. Wow, I loved it. Was based around the war and was all about the WAAFS and the balloon ops in particular. I loved every page and I was gutted when it was finished. Now away to start Secrets of the Lighthouse by Santa Montefiore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frankie Report post Posted July 15, 2016 So as it turns out I've already read The Beekeepers Daughter. My mum came in and was like you've read that one already silly... Ooops Does that happen often? Good thing your Mom keeps a record of what you read Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
