Prompt: ANGEL

What a lovely, lovely book.

Widowed at 40, lonely, wondering what to do now after she had let years pass by, "Angel" Dawn Marie decided to vacation in Scotland. 

If you enjoy Scottish history and listening/reading the written Gaelic brogue, you will fall in love with the book and definitely the characters.

Not in my top favorites of the year but still a good read. In The Year of Second Chances the MC Robin learns that her deceased husband set her up a dating profile for her to move on a year after his death. The book follows her along the journey of really dealing with her grief and ultimately finding herself with what is next. She learns it's ok to take care of yourself after she's taken so much time caring for everyone else.

Any guesses on how many pages I read before this bench gets uncomfortable?

1. I don't often go on picnics, but I'd take either hard-boiled eggs, deviled eggs, or an egg salad sandwich. Homemade iced tea to drink.

2. The tagged book 📖

In my opinion, this is Lynn Austin's BEST book yet! The era, the story; stunning scene descriptions and a story so beautifully told. The character development is phenomenal! An intricately woven tale of three generations of Stanhope women, set in New York during the "Gilded Era". Two great loves, 2 great loves lost. So many "lessons". Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide work through grief (so realistically written!) Cont in comments

So good!!!

Up next! My December #bookspin 📚

Audiobook narration by Julia Whelan really brings out both the great banter and serious emotional themes of this story. So fun to listen to, and touching and romantic too.
