Looking for a new chicklit book to read as we enter into the 2nd month of 2012 ? Prefer something that features the older woman rather than the younger crowd ? More The Sister Circle than Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants ?
Review: A Year on Ladybug Farm - Donna Ball - March 2009
Ever wondered what life would be like if you one day packed up everything you ever knew and took a risk , something unknown and strange to you ?
For three best friends , all in their late fifties that's exactly what they did. Cici, Bridget and Lindsey have all had their fair share of troubles and triumphs but when Bridget's husband Jeff dies she is left wondering , is this is it ? What has she done with her life ?
Soon , the three friends are travelling and looking at houses in the middle of nowhere and come across a mansion for sale . On the spurge of the moment , the three women pile their life savings into purchasing the house. The catch though is this house is in need of a dire fix-me-upper and the three women are about to discover that making a house livable isn't an easy task. Especially when we discover that their families don't think that they are up to it and this pushes the three to prove themselves further. A Year on Ladybug farm features an amazing line-up of characters from Cici, Bridget and Lindsey to $10 Farley , a busy-body housekeeper and Noah - a delinquent wannabe artist . A fun and inspirational chick lit novel about three retired women , taking the risk of their lifetime as the words of Bridget - We aren't getting younger only older .
Fans of Nancy Moser and Vonette Bright's The Sister Circle Series , will thoroughly enjoy The Year on Ladybug Farm.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens.

Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
