A heartwarming story about a mother and daughter in wartime England and the power of the books that bring them together. Emma Taylor needs to find a job to support herself and her daughter. She is a single mom and there is a war going on and Germany is bombing England. She signs up to send her daughter, Olivia, to the countryside to escape the bombs.

EadieB Books are mysteriously mis-shelved and disappearing, and her work forces her to confront the memories of her late father and the bookstore they once owned together before a terrible accident. I loved this story. There are many books mentioned throughout the book. Books that people are reading in order to not think about the bombs being shelled all over England. now
EadieB If you like stories about books and bookshops you will love this book. As the Blitz intensifies in Nottingham and Emma fights to reunite with her daughter, she must learn to depend on her community and the power of literature more than ever to find hope in the darkest of times. Highly recommended! now

#TheGodoftheWoods #LizMoore #BookSpinBingo #SeriesLove2024

Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn‘t just any thirteen-year-old: she‘s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region‘s residents. And this isn‘t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara‘s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago

EadieB never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore‘s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore‘s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet. This is a very good read. One child goes missing in 1961 and another goes missing in 1975. now
EadieB Both of them are from the Van Laar family who are owners of the camp. The story has multiple characters, scenarios and suspects. The setting is the Adirondacks. If you like stories about being lost in the woods then you would love this book. Highly recommended.

Fun and unexpected, I really enjoyed this fake dating trope that was different than any others I‘ve read. I loved the body positivity, the librarian FMC, and the work that these two do on themselves to make themselves confident and their relationship stronger. All that and spice too! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 13h

Book 2 and it was just as enjoyable as the first in the series. Two single parents discover they can open themselves (and their children) up to new experiences, love and found family.

5⭐️
I don't usually read romances, but I love reading WWII novels. This was a spellbinding, wonderful read. It's the first book I have read by Cindy Bonner, but it won't be my last.

It's 1940, and Lange DeLony just lost his estranged. He decides that he needs a fresh start. He is a cropduster, so he decides to join the RAF. On his way to his post, he meets Mackie. Soon, he is unable to get her out of his mind.

Bonner's MCs grew ⬇️

MonicaLoves2Read throughout the book. It is a well-written book. I felt as though I was leaving friends behind when I closed the book.

I won this book through a Goodreads Giveaway. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

😊 Happy Reading 😊

Bette Thanks for this. It reminded me of her first book, Lily, which I read decades ago. A few of us at the library read it and loved it so I‘m excited to read this now. 20h
MonicaLoves2Read @Bette I really enjoyed it. Hope you enjoy it 6h

Unpopular opinion time. This is very popular among a certain crowd. And it's fine. But it would be better imo if the author stuck to the hunger games style contest and focused less on the gooey love garbage. Boring! I have 0 plans to continue this series.

TheAromaofBooks A whole series off the list! Nice! 😁 2d
vlwelser @TheAromaofBooks 😂🤣 you sure your middle name isn't Pollyanna? That has to be the best way to look at this. 2d
TheAromaofBooks So many books, so little time; I am honestly sometimes relieved when I don't like the first book in a series😂 As for Pollyanna - for real, a long time ago I read an article or something and the author was saying that if you want to be happy you have to practice, and just like learning a song on the piano where if you practice your fingers start automatically going to the right keys, that if you practice being happy/grateful, it will start to ⬇ 1d
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) come more easily. So I began cultivating my inner Pollyanna and even though obviously I'm not perfect at it, it's amazing to me how tugging out those silver linings really does make life a little brighter!!! 1d
vlwelser @TheAromaofBooks it makes things better for everyone around you too. I try to do it as much as possible and I appreciate it in others. 1d
