Rambling Writer and Reader

Författare: Simona Ahrnstedt Titel: Bara lite till Förlag: Bokförlaget Forum Genre: Romance Länkar:  Bokus  |  Adlibris  |  Goodreads Simona Ahrnstedt är och förblir drottningen av svensk romance. Det är liksom inget att fundera på. Även om hon stadigt får konkurrenter (som min personliga favorit Heléne Holmström). Med det sagt föll denna småstadsromance lite platt för mig. Låt mig förklara: Stella är en storstadskvinna som nyss blivit dumpad, hemlös och arbetslös. Hon är inte riktigt på humör, kan man säga och tar sitt pick och pack (alltså, typ två klädesplagg och sin älskade handväska och ett par sjukt snygga, men opraktiska skor) och drar till Laholm, där hennes morföräldrars stuga väntar på henne. Hon har inte varit där på sisådär tjugo år, men det kvittar, för det är bara ett pitstop innan den verkliga drömmen om designskola i New York tar fasta. Fast det kan ju förklara varför den nätta, mysiga stugan i hennes rosenskimrande minnen mest liknar ett...

Author: Joanna Shupe Title: The Rogue of Fifth Avenue Series: Uptown Girls Publisher: Avon Published: 2019 Genre: Historical romance Links:  Bokus  /  Adlibris  /  Goodreads I am a loyal bookstagrammer and spend way too much time on the Instagram platform, browsing for book recommendations, reading captions and reviews, getting to know my fellow bookstagrammers. One of these grammers is  @feminist_romance (she's also a blogger, check it out , if you wish). Anyway, she's a feminist romance lover - just like me! - and so I usually trust her judgement on books.  And look at that cover. Of course I had to read it!  Sure, I haven't always loved everything fiercely, but I have never hated them. This one was no exception. Or well, I loved it. This won't be a long review, because it's mostly swoon. Mamie and Frank. Frank and Mamie. What did I think, you ask? I think this was good. I think this was feminist, fun, passionate and lovely.

Author: Jenny Colgan Title: The Bookshop on the Shore Publisher: Sphere Published: 2019 Genre: Contemporary fiction/feelgood Links:  Bokus  /  Adlibris  /  Goodreads It's been awhile since I last read a Colgan book. I think I read 3 or 4 in a row and then had to take a break (as I usually do when I've over-expended an author). I didn't even realise she'd released anything new until I stumbled upon this at the library. I did not read the hardback version, though, because I then found it as an audiobook and that's more my jam. I settled in for a light read of dreams, obstacles and love. Boy, did I get something more! This book is about Zoe, a single mom living hand-to-mouth in London with her four year old son. She struggles with money, her ex, work, a good home and the fact that Hari, her son, doesn't speak. And now rent is going up. She is, in a word, unhappy. And also exhausted. And terrified of a future with no home. Getting the opportunity to move t...
