🎄 Review ~ Love in the Dales Series~ Mary Jayne Baker

A Bicycle Made for Two ( Love in the Dales #1 -  5 April, 2018)

In a lost corner of the Yorkshire Dales, Lana Donati runs a medieval theme restaurant, Here Be Flagons, with her brother. When she hatches a plan to boost business by getting the Grand Départ route to pass through their village, the small community must work together to convince the decision-makers they’re Tour material. Not easy when the cast of characters involved includes Lana’s shy, unlucky-in-love brother Tom, man-eating WI chair Yolanda, bickering spouses Gerry and Sue, arrogant TV star Harper Brady, and Lana’s arch-nemesis, former pro-cyclist turned bike shop owner Stewart McLean, whose offbeat ideas might just cost them everything.

My thoughts about it..

This was just the most delightful story and a great introduction to the Love in the Dales series. From the deliciously quirky medieval themed restaurant run by brother and sister duo, Tom and Lana Donati, so aptly named 'Here be Flagons', to the  uncertainty surrounding the proposed route of the Grand Départ, there is such a sense of warmth and good humour that I found myself smiling and laughing at some of the village antics. To have the prestigious cycle race pass through this small Yorkshire village would give the area such an enormous economic boost and in the quest to be chosen, the villagers must do all they can to raise their profile and it is the shenanigans along the way which make for a lively and entertaining read.

The characters are delightful, they're such an eclectic mixture of the quirky, bizarre and heart warmingly gorgeous that you can't help but bond with them all. I loved Bicycle Made for Two, it made me cry a little but laugh a whole lot more.


Perfect Fit ( Love in the Dales #2 - 21 September, 2018)

After years living in London, costume shop owner Becky Finn is trying to build a new life for herself and fiancé Cole in her old home of Egglethwaite, a sleepy village in the Yorkshire Dales.

Keen to raise funds for the struggling village hall she loved as a child, Becky soon finds herself at the head of a colourful group intent on resurrecting Egglethwaites Christmas pantomime. But, as she quickly discovers, there's more to panto than innuendo and slapped thighs.

As opening night grows closer, Becky starts to wonder if her embattled panto will ever make it to the stage and, with handsome co-star Marcus on the scene, if she's picked the right man for her after all.

My thoughts about it..

If you've read Bicycle Made for Two then The Perfect Fit will be a welcome return to some of the characters, however, it's not essential to have read the first book in the Love in the Dales series as this story works equally well as a stand alone.

Becky Finn has returned to her home village of  Egglethwaite to try and make a new life with her fiancé, Cole. Becky fits into village life much easier than Cole, and when Becky volunteers to help to organise the village pantomime, Cole, always an outsider, really struggles to find his comfort zone and Becky's cheeky little relationship with the handsome, Marcus, doesn't help !

The Perfect Fit continues the village theme which started in book one of the series and it is a delightful mix of showcasing the best of village life with all of its petty squabbles and warm companionship, and yet, it also highlights just how difficult it can be to settle somewhere different in a place where everyone knows each other. There's a lovely seasonal aspect to this story, and the run up to the Pantomime, with all of its many problems, makes it all such a perfect fit for this time of year.

This series has such potential to run and run and I really look forward to seeing where the characters in these delightful stories will take us to next.






Mary Jayne Baker grew up in rural West Yorkshire, right in the heart of Brontë country . . . and she's still there. After graduating from Durham University with a degree in English Literature she dallied with living in cities including London, Nottingham and Cambridge, but eventually came back, with her own romantic hero in tow, to her beloved Dales, where she first started telling stories about heroines with flaws and the men who love them.

🎄 Fabulously Festive with Catherine Tinley 🎄





In the run up to Christmas, I have wonderful author interviews to help get you into the festive spirit


Here's the fabulous, Catherine Tinley




A warm festive welcome, Catherine and thank you so much for being our guest today


🎅What’s your earliest Christmas Memory?

Getting a doll called Wanda. She was supposed to walk when you touched her with a wand but never really worked.


🎅Do you have any special Christmas Traditions?

Yes, lots! Our Christmas starts on Christmas Eve in the afternoon, when the whole family goes for a walk at a local beauty spot, the Fairy Glen. There are almost thirty of us now – my parents, brothers, sisters, their husbands and wives, and all the grandchildren. We meet again that evening at Christmas Eve Mass, then on Christmas morning we all go to my parents’ house for gift swapping and bacon sandwiches. We all cook dinner in our own houses though.


🎅What’s your favourite festive carol or song?

O Holy Night. It gives me goosebumps.


Do you have a favourite festive film?

I do like the Santa Clause trilogy. And It’s a Wonderful Life. And Scrooged. And – I seem to like lots of them!


🎅What’s your favourite festive read?

I like finding new romances set at Christmas, so I’ll be indulging in a few of those over the holidays.


🎅Are you organised or do you leave everything until the last minute?

A bit of both. I’m generally fairly well organised, but there are always those last minute extras, aren’t there?


🎅Christmas tree – real or artificial?

Both! We have an artificial tree that we put up in our front room every year, but we always get a real tree for the sitting room. I love the real tree.


🎅Tinsel or Glitter?

Tinsel, definitely. I drape it over picture frames as well as on the trees.


🎅Christmas cracker or party popper?

Crackers. Every year we have them on the table on both Christmas Day and St Stephen’s Day.


🎅Mince Pie or Yule Log?

Yule Log – definitely! I’m not a fan of dried fruit, so no pudding, Christmas Cake, or mince pies for me. I love chocolate, so we always get a Yule Log. But my favourite traditional Christmas dessert is trifle and custard.


🎅Christmas Dinner – Traditional Turkey, Nut Roast Veggie or something a bit different?

Turkey and ham is the tradition in Ireland. We have it with sage & onion stuffing, cocktail sausages, at least three types of potato (creamed, roast, garlic), and lots of vegetables.


🎅Christmas Tipple – Bucks Fizz/Mulled Wine or something stronger?

Whatever’s going, really!


🎅A fun game of after dinner charades or more chocolates and the television?

Both. We do play games as a family, and eat lots of chocolate. We also have a food-coma nap at various points. In terms of TV, we watch the Dr Who and Call the Midwife Christmas specials, but not much else.

🎄 Fabulously Festive with Sue Moorcroft 🎄




In the run up to Christmas, I have wonderful author interviews to help get you into the festive spirit


Here's the fabulous, Sue Moorcroft




A very festive welcome to you, Sue and thank you for spending this special time with Jaffareadstoo


🎄What’s your earliest Christmas Memory? 

I think I must have been four. We were living in Hampshire as we were an army family and my dad was stationed at Aldershot at the time. We were living out-of-barracks though, in a village called Cove. It’s the first memory I have of coming downstairs with my big brothers and finding all our presents waiting. I had a yellow doll’s cot as my main present, with a bride doll. Mum had sewn bedclothes for the cot (cotclothes?), which was an act of love because she hated sewing. That doll was about the only one I remember having. I was more into robots and teddy bears. Dolls didn’t do anything and weren’t comfy to hug in bed. 


🎄Do you have any special Christmas Traditions? 

Boxing Day with the in-laws. Moorcroft family lunch between Christmas and New Year so that everyone can come, even if they live several hours away. It gets noisy! 


🎅What’s your favourite festive carol or song? 

Wizzard’s ‘I wish it could be Christmas every day’. It reminds me of my teen years. 


🎅Do you have a favourite festive film? 

They’re not Christmas films but the Christmas break often sees members of my family binging on ‘Star Wars’ and ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies. 


🎅What’s your favourite festive read? 

‘Snow in Covent Garden’ by Jules Wake. It came out last year and I loved it. 


🎅Are you organised or do you leave everything until the last minute? 

Organised, but grudgingly. I look for the easy way of doing everything - shopping, wrapping, cooking … Having Christmas books out makes the run-up to Christmas a lot of fun but it distracts me. 


🎅Christmas tree – real or artificial? 

Artificial, but one of those that looks fairly real and the lights have to be white, not different colours. 


🎅Tinsel or Glitter? 

Both! Why not? 


🎅Christmas cracker or party popper? 

Cracker. The mottos and jokes can be entertaining. I don’t like the hats though. 


🎅Mince Pie or Yule Log? 

Yule log. Until such time as I find there are chocolate mince pies, anyway. 


🎅Christmas Dinner – Traditional Turkey, Nut Roast Veggie or something a bit different? 

Traditional roast but not turkey. Usually lamb or beef. 


🎅Christmas Tipple – Bucks Fizz/Mulled Wine or something stronger? 

Champagne! That doesn’t mean I get it. I just like it. 


🎅A fun game of after dinner charades or more chocolates and the television? 

Reading’s more likely than TV, actually … but chocolates are very welcome.

🎄 Fabulously Festive with Anna Belfrage 🎄





In the run up to Christmas, I have wonderful author interviews to help get you into the festive spirit

Here's the fabulous, Anna Belfrage






Anna, thank you so much for being our guest on the blog today 


🎅What’s your earliest Christmas Memory?

We were living in Peru. It was hot. I was about four or so and my mother asked me to fetch the garden hose in the garage so that she could fill up my new inflatable pool, my favourite Christmas gift that year. I rushed into the garage and grabbed the hose. When I turned, I noticed that the heavy drain lid was hovering a metre or so above the floor. Below the drain lid was a huge snake. I screamed. And screamed. Screamed some more. My mother burst through the door and ran over to where I was standing. 

“What’s wrong?” she asked, hands flying over my body. I pointed. My mother turned. She screamed. I screamed. We screamed some more. Totally futile behaviour, but I was very young and my mother suffered from serious snake phobia. We’d have been standing there still had not my father come running to save us both.


🎅Do you have any special Christmas Traditions?

We celebrate Christmas the Swedish way, which means we do our main celebration on Christmas Eve. In our family, the day starts well before eight. I get up and tip-toe out into the kitchen. Hubby appears a minute or so later. In silence, we prepare hot chocolate, heap plates with warm saffron buns, with home-made ginger biscuits. 

Hubby lights the fire in the tiled stove. We flit about lighting candles all over. Steaming mugs of hot chocolate topped with whipped cream are set down on the table. And then, when everything is ready we crank up the Christmas music on max volume. Some moments later, they appear: with sleep-encrusted eyes, imprints of their pillows on their faces and hair standing more or less on end, our four children come down the stairs. (Said children are now adults, albeit young adults) We hug them and wish them a Happy Christmas. They hug us back and rush over to check what’s in their stocking. For a little moment, time hangs suspended and I see them as they used to be, small and cuddly and dressed in matching pyjamas. Now they have long, hairy legs (bar the daughter, obviously. She waxes) would rather die than wear a pyjamas, but they are still very cuddly. At least on Christmas Eve.


🎅What’s your favourite festive carol or song?

Oh, Come all Ye Faithful.


🎅Do you have a favourite festive film?

Not really. But I always watch Sound of Music at least once during the holidays.


🎅What’s your favourite festive read?

A Swedish poem called “Tomten”. And Luke 2:1 and onwards. “And it came to pass…” 


🎅Are you organised or do you leave everything until the last minute?

Very, very organised. 


🎅Christmas tree – real or artificial?

Real.


🎅Tinsel or Glitter?

Glitter


🎅Christmas cracker or party popper?

Christmas cracker


🎅Mince Pie or Yule Log?

Neither. For me, it is Swedish saffron buns. 


🎅Christmas Dinner – Traditional Turkey, Nut Roast Veggie or something a bit different?

We eat filet of beef with mushroom & cognac sauce, roasted potatoes and a huge salad. The alternative would be a Swedish Christmas smorgasbord, but the family has nixed that. Personally, I am relieved: preparing a smorgasbord takes days and days, what with various types of herring, salmon, lutefish, ham, pig trotters, meatballs, ribs, pates, cheeses, sausages, smoked meats, rice porridge (very important), dried fruits and like fifteen other things I’ve forgotten. 


🎅Christmas Tipple – Bucks Fizz/Mulled Wine or something stronger?

Err…water and tea, please.


🎅A fun game of after dinner charades or more chocolates and the television?

Chocolates and telly. By the time we get that far, I’m exhausted!

🎄 Fabulously Festive with Amanda Prowse 🎄








In the run up to Christmas, I have wonderful author interviews to help get you into the festive spirit


Here's the fabulous, Amanda Prowse





A very festive welcome to you,  Amanda and thank you for spending this special time with Jaffareadstoo



🎄What’s your earliest Christmas Memory? 

It is when I realised Santa was real because I wanted a particular make, type and colour of doll’s pram from the toy shop. I don’t remember telling anyone about it, so when, on Christmas morning I pulled off the wrapping paper and this magnificent toy pram was there, it confirmed to me that he was real. Not only did I have the pram, but it confirmed beyond any doubt that he was REAL! It was an amazing moment!


🎄Do you have any special Christmas Traditions? 

Apart from the usual, like leaving out a mince pie, glass of milk and carrot for Rudolf, every Christmas Eve, I sit alone in front of the Christmas Tree before I go to sleep and I say ‘Thank you’ for every single day that I’ve had since the last Christmas Eve and I put thanks out into the universe for all the wonderful things I have in my life and the reason I do it is because I’ve done it for the last twenty years when my son was a tiny baby and I was closing up the house and switching it off in preparation for Christmas Day and I had this overwhelming feeling of missing all the people that were no longer with me and the Christmas tree felt like a magical presence in the corner of the room. It always does.


🎄What’s your favourite festive carol or song? 

Easy, ‘Hark the Herald Angels’ – it’s a proper belter and I sing it better after fourteen egg-nogs or a few sherries!


🎄Do you have a favourite festive film? 

Yes, Elf! It doesn’t matter how many times I see it and even though I know the funny bits are coming, I still howl with laughter. ‘Santa!! I know him!!’.


🎄What’s your favourite festive read? 

Any good Christmas yarn, I’m a sucker for anything with the word Christmas in the title. My absolute favourite is the Dickens classic, ‘A Christmas Carol’, I had it read to me as a child and as a grown up, take great pleasure in reading it myself. Much of the imagery in this book sits behind my eyelids when I have to think of Christmas.


🎄Are you organised or do you leave everything until the last minute? 

A little bit of both – gifts, presents and house decorations, I start planning in May (I’m not even joking). But the food, where people are sleeping and do we have enough chairs around the table are the sorts of things I start pondering about around an hour before everyone arrives!


🎄Christmas tree – real or artificial? 

Real but for the past six years, it has been in a pot, grown from a twig that my nephew planted which rooted! We’ve moved to our forever house this year so we’re going to plant it in the garden and admire it there all year round.


🎄Tinsel or Glitter? Glitter


🎄Christmas cracker or party popper? Both!


🎄Mince Pie or Yule Log? Neither!


🎄Christmas Dinner – Traditional Turkey, Nut Roast Veggie or something a bit different? 

Ha ha, I’m a veggie so I have everything that a meat eater has apart from the turkey, so a huge plate of spuds and roasted veg!


🎄Christmas Tipple – Bucks Fizz/Mulled Wine or something stronger? 

I’m a real lightweight and hardly drink but I might have some Bucks Fizz or a glass of wine. I may even go crazy and have a small port!


🎄A fun game of after dinner charades or more chocolates and the television? 

I love family games and charades. We host the wider family so there is a great range of ages around and always something happening that will make us all laugh. 


Happy Christmas everyone! Much love, Amanda xx

🎄 Fabulously Festive with Nicola Pryce 🎄







In the run up to Christmas, I have wonderful author interviews to help get you into the festive spirit


Here's the fabulous, Nicola Pryce






A very festive welcome to you, Nicola and thank you for spending this special time with Jaffareadstoo


🎅What’s your earliest Christmas memory?

I must have been about six. We lived in Baghdad since I was two months old, and I remember my mother showing me a Christmas card of a snowy church with robins and snowmen. It seemed so strange and I could hardly grasp the concept.


🎅Do you have any special Christmas Traditions?

Absolutely. The stockings must be hung up, the reindeer must have a carrot and Santa must have his sherry and mince pie. 




Then my husband reads the Night Before Christmas from the same book in 35 years and the kids all join in with the reindeers' names. I think they crib it moments before because they know them all and I never get them right!







🎅What’s your favourite festive carol or song?

It used to be Once in Royal David’s City but I’m afraid it’s now Driving Home For Christmas. The kids (they’re in their 30’s) text me to say they’re on their way and I get very excited.


🎅Do you have a favourite festive film?

Definitely The Snowman. I adore it and it always brings tears to my eyes.


🎅What’s your favourite festive read?

A passage in Cider With Rosie by Laurie Lee – page 110 of my old school copy! It struck me when I first read it as particularly poignant, and I think of it every year. It’s the bit when the boys in the village go carol singing and they come to the final farm. They’ve been messing about until then, but right at the end they feel the real spirit of Christmas … And 2,000 Christmases became real to us then … It’s such a moving passage.







🎅Are you organised or do you leave everything until the last minute?

Organised to the extreme. Barely able to walk, but every thing’s ready by Christmas Eve.


🎅Christmas tree – real or artificial?

A big, branchy, sustainable, real tree, grown and cut by our local farmer and crammed into our car with no hope of shutting the boot. We have low ceilings in our house and the poor fairy spends most of Christmas with a crick in her neck.




🎅Tinsel or Glitter? 

Tinsel. Long strands of shiny gold tinsel hung on the tree. It’s the same tinsel I had as a child and every year there’s a little less of it. 


🎅Christmas cracker or party popper? 

Crackers – especially Bingo crackers; if I can get away with them again this year.


🎅Mince Pie or Yule Log? 

Both, I’m afraid Jo. There’s a chocolate log for those who don’t eat Christmas pudding and a plate of mince pies just in case anyone’s still hungry. 


Christmas Dinner – Traditional Turkey, Nut Roast Veggie or something a bit different? 

We’re very traditional … a local, organic turkey from the farm opposite, and a nut roast for the veggies in my family. There’d be a riot if I suggested something a bit different! 


🎅Christmas Tipple – Bucks Fizz, Mulled Wine … or something stronger? 

I’ve learnt to go easy on the before-lunch prosecco or else we’re faced with lumpy gravy. Definitely mulled wine on Boxing Day though – together with a good fridge raid and a collapse by the fire. 


🎅A fun game of after dinner charades or some chocolates and the television? 

Back in the day, we’d be all set for charades and party games but now, well, we’ll be lucky if we make it through lunch. It will be more like … ‘Grandad, come quickly. There’s snow on the line. Thomas is in trouble… he needs our help.’





Thank you so much, Jo, for inviting me to share my Christmas with you. I hope you have a very happy and relaxing Christmas. Don’t work too hard!

🎄 Review ~ The Snow Girls by Chris Mooney



Penguin
November 2018

My thanks to the publishers for my copy of this book 
It's been eleven years since Claire Flynn disappeared - abducted without trace from a snowy hillside, leaving her parents heartbroken.

Investigator Darby McCormick remembers the case. She knows there's only ever been one suspect, Father Richard Byrne, linked inconclusively to two similar disappearances.

Finally, terminally ill, Byrne is willing to talk. But he'll only talk to Darby.

She's expecting a confession - but what she hears is far more disturbing.

And it soon becomes clear that someone is willing to kill to keep this cold case on ice.

My thoughts about it..

This is the first time I have read any books by this author, so I come new to the character of Darby McCormick, who as a trained psychologist also works as an investigator, so, it would seem that she is ideally placed to help out with a cold case which involves the disappearance of six year old Claire Flynn, who disappeared one snowy night. It's coming up to the eleventh anniversary of the child's disappearance and when, Father Richard Byrne, the lead suspect in the case requests to speak only to Darby, it allows the investigation, once dormant, to take on a whole new lease of life.

This is the eighth book in the Darby McCormick thriller series and it's perfectly possible to read the story without having read the previous books as the author gives enough insight into Darby's character, so I soon felt as if I knew her and trusted her judgement. The story covers some dark stuff but it's all done with a fine eye for detail and the author's ability to weave a complicated tale made The Snow Girls quite a fascinating study into human nature. Told from Darby's perspective as the investigator and also from Mickey Flynn's viewpoint who, as the father of the missing girl, has his own demons to exorcise.

Like all psychological thrillers, this one is best read without any spoilers, that way the story evolves gradually allowing the clues to creep up on you. I really enjoyed trying to piece together all the clues and yet, there's a interesting twist to the ending which was a great reveal and not one I saw coming.

Like all book series I am sure that these US thrillers are best read from the start at book one, however, The Snow Girls certainly worked for me as a standalone.




Chris Mooney is the critically acclaimed author of Deviant Ways, World Without End, and Remembering Sarah, which was nominated for the Barry Award and the Edgar Award for Best Novel. He lives in Boston with his wife and son.
