It's Here

 MerryChristmas

  Well it's finally here...Christmas Day.   I do hope everyone is having a lovely day no matter you are near or far. We all have someone that we wish we could be with this time of the year.  It will be hard for a lot of people this year, we are all struggling with the cost of living and having to spend money on keeping warm and making sure we have food to eat that we would normally spend on our children and love ones, but I always think as long as we have love in our hearts we have more than some.  We've found Christmas hard for the last 9 years, since Andrew died suddenly not long after Christmas. At first we didn't want to put the tree up, have the Christmas lights on or even open presents, but over the years we have tried to move on a bit further and we put a small tree up and some lights for the grandkids and to help us a bit, but when it comes to presents it's still hard, it's 3:35Pm on Christmas day and still no presents have been open, they will be open but when the time feels ok.

Are You All Ready For The Big Day

 Good Evening, I hope you are all ready for the big day. I have to say I'm ready apart from a few things to wrap and the last few food things, there's only the 3 of us so don't need a lot.

 Went to see Emily and her school sing Christmas songs in the school yard today, I have to say that there's nothing better than hearing children singing and with it being outside I think it made it that bit better.

  I have delivered all the crochet snowflakes and handmade cards that I made for all the street.  I need to start thinking about what I'm doing next year for Easter, best to think ahead.

Cowboys and Chaos

Cowboys and Chaos by Elizabeth Pantley

Genre:- Cosy Crime

Blurb:- This is no ordinary book club! When the group choose a book, they are whisked away from reality to find themselves totally immersed in the story. The characters, the setting, and the murder all come to life. In order to exit the book, they'll need to solve the mystery and reach The End.

 This time, the club chooses a mystery that takes place in a quaint, western town - in the old Wild West.  

 That sounds like great fun, until they arrive in the dusty old town in the Arizona desert, among cowboys and saloons. They discover that the outhouse isn't the worse thing about this trip.

 The good new is that Paige, Glo, Zell, Frank, and the other members of the club discover plenty of surprises here, and they have a great time visiting a piece of history. They'll get to live through many exciting moments as they unravel this cozy mystery story.

Thank you to @lovebookstours @elizabethpantley for this book. #AD and #LBTCrew

🤠🐎🏜 My Review:- I have read the first two books and was only to happy to review the third book the series  Magical Mystery Book Club,  set in the Wild West, Bandana, Arizona. The book club need a new addition to the group and before they even interview, a man turns up in the back yard with what looked like a metal detector. They find out that it's Dr Atticus Papadopoulos (Atticus) and he becomes the newest member of the book club. The group decide on the book Zell picks  'The Mystery of Mollie's Disappearance'.  There is a bit of everything for the group horse riding, fishing, and a card game that nearly ends up in a gun fight. The authors description of the wild west make you feel like you are there with all the acres and acres of bronzed land that was covered with wispy grasses and desert vegetation, the Saguaro cactus or prickly looking mesquite tree. I thought I knew who the murderer was  and how they would get home, but I was wrong again (I will get it right before the book series ends).

 🎄🎄My Review:- This is a story of 3 sisters, Erin, Sasha and Leah and their mother Nadia. The sisters and their mother meet up at a Christmas party that Erin and her husband Aaron hosts after 10 years apart and that's where the story really starts. The story is being told by each of the sisters and their mother, you will taken back 10 years earlier during the story. The way the author has wrote this story it will have you thinking you know what is gong to happen, but will you .   This book will leave you wanting to know what is next.
