Suddenly widowed by a car crash that ended the life of her unfaithful husband, Jo Mackenzie moves to a small British seaside community and takes over her beloved grandmother's knitting shop, where she pursues a new romance, witnesses the arrival of an A-list celebrity, and is introduced to a dessert-addicted knitting club.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 175

I enjoyed this book. Joe needs to start over, to reinvent herself after her husband (who was about to divorce her) is killed in an accident. Sometimes you have to go back to your roots to start over and reinvent. In this process, Jo learns to take a stand, finds her passion, becomes a compassionate leader, and find support and unexpected friendships along the way. You'll be cheering out loud for Jo 😁

A nice relaxing easy read. Rather reminds me of Notting Hill except for it‘s a knitting shop. 3.5 stars because it‘s written by a knitter. #UK #readingEurope2020

I didn‘t hate it but I didn‘t love it either. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It was a cute light beach read that‘s perfect for knitters who also like to read.

#NewBookMonday

I finished all of my “in progress” reads while on vacation last week. So on this bleary-eyed Monday morning I get to treat myself to a new beach read (with the vain hope I will feel like I am still on vacation).

For a while it was an ok story to pass the time. But at page 260 there are so many characters being added with a story going absolutely no where that it's just time to be done 👋

Nute Yes! Those real life references get me every time. 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @Nute I love the verisimilitude they give. Glad I'm not the only one who gets a kick out of them 😄 5y

When you and the Mr have a perfectly random, out-of-blue conversation about the 70s TV shows Benny Hill and Upstairs, Downstairs and an hour later you read the above line in your book 🤯

I love shit like that! 😁

TEArificbooks What is creepy is when you talk about something like a trip and an hour later you get ads on Facebook for the place you were talking about. Or you talk about needing to buy a new dog bowl and an ad pops up. What you want to bet since I posted this I will get a dog bowl ad. 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @mdm139 lmaooo! If you get that ad, you HAVE TO share it!!!😂 5y

TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman Glad the cough is slowing up, they last f o r e v e r r r r😷😠 As for feeling old 🤷‍♀️ yeah, still no cure, though I find Yoga helps...and tequila 😉 5y
Trashcanman @C.Perone are you in the witness protection program? 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman If I was, I wouldn't really be able to answer that; but, no I am not. Although that's what I would have to say if I was. And no, I'm not in politics which would a fair assumption based upon the non-answer answer I gave about the witness protection program 5y
Trashcanman @C.Perone it's so interesting to me that I don't even know your name 5y
Trashcanman @C.Perone Ha! But I'll just go with because, what the hell not. Shit happens when you party naked! 5y
TheBookgeekFrau @Trashcanman Don't take it personally - I've always been paranoid about revealing personal info on social media; you just never know who all is reading your stuff. Besides, I like "Hello Clarice" too much to give it up ? 5y
Trashcanman @C.Perone oh I don't take it personally. Not at all. And yes I enjoy it too! Clara, Cindy. 5y

My mom read this and really enjoyed it, so she passed it along to me. It was a sweet read—reminded me a lot of Jenny Colgan‘s books, which I really enjoy. Nothing earth shattering or anything- just a reminder about the simple things in life and how lovely people can be. Oh, and I just ordered the sequel. 😊

Cortg Sounds perfect! 6y
AmberWB @Cortg It really was. I am finding myself getting beaten down by the news again, so I am trying to just turn it off and read 😊. 6y
