The Thief on the Winged Horse | KATE. MASCARENHAS

This is an odd book, but a very imaginative tale. It‘s a pretty slow unfolding of events, but not necessarily boring. It‘s hard to pin it to a genre, it‘s mystery, romance fantasy and adventure.

I liked the feminist stance towards the end.

Mrs_B Just realised that is a less than useless review. Apologies all! 2mo
Bette Not at all useless, you mentioned the genres and how imaginative it was, all that is intriguing. 👍 2mo

Another Natasha Preston book staying on the bookshelves 😝 This wasn‘t my top favorite of hers but I did like it. She always knows how to throw in those twists at the end. I had a feeling that it was Megan for a while but once Aaron was arrested I thought I had been wrong. I wish I knew if Blake made it out innocent in the end. What a cruel group of friends… another pick in the YA category!

Combine Vimes, Woody, Dresden, all living in the land of misfit Toys & you might get a distilled version of this Friends-verse.

Tippy the x-imaginary friend. A stuffed triceratops detective.

Someone or something is killing these x-imaginary friends.

We get to meet a bunch of interesting friends and ride along as Tippy catches his man, the tea time man, a terrible kidnapping father.

Sad, lush, a certain depth, a story with a moral!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This is brilliant bad cover work here - originally published/set in 1932, the main character of this story would probably literally rather die than show her bare midriff/legs in public😂 Love these 80s covers that try to make GLH look spicier.

This is typical GHL work - sweet, hardworking, poor girl receives help from a kind, goodhearted fellow and everyone ends up rich and happy in the end, with a dose of Jesus throughout. Not for everyone, ⬇

TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) but sometimes she just hits the spot for me. Not my favorite, but ... 3.5*. It's okay. 😂

Domestic Pleasures is an absolute pleasure to read. Set in 1980‘s New York , with a wonderful cast of characters. It‘s about relationships and life, falling in and out of love , about bringing up teenagers in this NY setting.
I couldn‘t stop turning the pages. Such an enjoyable book. I‘m not a big romance reader , but I had tears for some of the touching moments in this story♥️♥️♥️
