Não tive tempo para a leitura deste livro durante o Natal, contribuiria na certa para aumentar o espírito natalício, no meu caso prolongou-o! Confesso que comprei o livro por impulso, li o resumo e fiquei cativada com a descrição e com a capa! Não conhecia a autora, nem nunca tinha lido algum liv...
After I'd finished reading it yesterday, I rated it 2 stars.Today however, I have changed that rating to 3 stars.It wasn't a majorly eventful book, and I can't say constantly reading about cooking particularly interests me so that's why I initially gave it 2. Also many of the side characters anno...
Love this book.The writing is amazing, the plot is great and the characters are awesome. The writing was very flowing so it was a quick read and it's mistly light-hearted and I found myself laughing aloud at most of it.Was really drawn in by this story, although it has alot of things going on in ...
I own hundreds, nay thousands, of books but if a supermarket straps two together and sells them to me for next to nowt, chances are I will take them off their hands. That's how I acquired this very easily read piece of chick-lit with enough quirky bits to keep me turning the pages. I recognised...
Gostei destes Sapatinhos de Chocolate, li todos os livros da autora e é sempre interessante saber de outras personagens dos outros livros a interagir com estas novas personagens. Uma narrativa encantadora, uma história de amor terna e muito sedutora. Tansy vai herdar a antiga sapataria da sua ti...
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.I tend to find a lot of British chick lit pretty slow, and unfortunately this one fell in that category for me. While I enjoyed the story perfectly fine, it just seemed to take forever to progress through the chapters. I found so man...
Yes, it's time to be done with this author/consortium of authors. There is a formula. Old relative + guy whose wife has died + jilted woman + ex who borders on stalker/violent behavior that no one takes too seriously + lots of baking + gratuitous use of exclamation points!!! The first two I read ...
This book is probably a bit more exciting if you're into cooking, but overall I thought it took a long time to say little with spots of 'action' too rushed to make too much of an impact. Given it's title I agree with the other person that it's not particularly festive.Lizzy is a long suffering w...

Lars, he was called, a Norwegian name I think it is, though he was American. Well, he still is American, but Imogen’s married to someone else now and lives in California, where the raisins come from.When I was a little girl we had Snapdragon at Christmas, a dish of raisins soaked in spirit and se...
They couldn’t be easier to make: simply melt some good-quality chocolate (milk or plain, according to your preference) and stir in unsalted peanuts until it is a thick, lumpy mixture. (Those nuts that have been roasted in their shells give the best flavour, I’ve found — but remove the shells and ...
He says we were meant to be together, he knew it from the moment he saw me and I feel the same way, though horribly guilty when I think of poor Tom. I did sincerely love him, just not in the way I now love N . . . February 1945 The sky, which had earlier been almost as blue as George’s eyes, had...
I tossed and turned all night, then dropped off with the dawn and was the last for breakfast; Jessica was just leaving for school with the girls as I arrived. Father had finished – he and Em are early risers, no matter how late they go to bed – but he must have received a parcel in the post, for ...
She’d seen Derek unloading them while Seth checked them over, so it seemed that he hadn’t spent the entire afternoon helping Mel with her bedding, after all.Not that it was any of my business anyway, unless it affected his work—but I couldn’t imagine any woman ever becoming more important than th...
Her serene expression amid the whirlwind of draperies, like the perfect stillness at the heart of a storm, seemed to epitomise how I would like to feel, however unattainable that now seemed. I had thought I’d won through to a quiet, happy, contented phase in my life after we moved here, until Raf...
I have barely started preparing for Christmas and, since almost all of my presents are edible, I usually have things well in hand by the end of November. Still, at least there is not a lot to do in the garden, this month… ‘Cakes and Ale’ I was glad when Libby and Tim returned, because keeping a b...
But Jago came out for tea, bringing her a gingerbread pig, which she said was even more fun, even if she didn’t get to see her friends the Graces … and actually, I thought so too. By Saturday she was herself again, her small reserves of energy restored and so when we took Toto out for a walk we w...
