New Beginnings by the Sunflower Cliffs

ABOUT THE BOOK:

People say that it’s hard not to fall in love living on the sunny island of Jersey, but for Bea Philips, still reeling from a divorce and the loss of her beloved godmother, she’s not sure she can find the time. While her soon-to-be-ex-husband is trying to take away the home she grew up in, surly but attractive builder Luke is doing it up. Her old flame Tom has just turned up as her new manager at the office, and she has no idea what the mysterious Jersey Kiss is that her godmother has bequeathed to her…

Is life going to give Bea a break, so she can keep her dream home, and maybe fall in love?

New Beginnings by the Sunflower Cliffs is the first in a gorgeous, romantic series set on the breathtaking island of Jersey. Perfect for fans of Jessica Redland and Phillipa Ashley.

MY THOUGHTS:

This book is an easy one to settle down with along with a cup of tea on a fall day. I love the setting.

This is a story of how life can always offer new opportunities even when things seem dark. Readers will be invested in finding out how life turns out for a woman who faced both divorce and loss. Will she move on? Will there be a new life for her? Readers will trust that this is so but will enjoy following the protagonist’s journey.

Now out: Jurgen Klopp

Often I know the little person who is portrayed in these titles but I was not familiar with Jurgen Klopp. I was pleased to learn more about this football loving German boy who grew up to be a fantastic coach and manager in his sport. He also sounded like a positive and encouraging person. His story is nicely told and illustrated here.

For young birders and future ornithologists: Bird Book for Kids ( Katie Henries-Meisner)

 #BirdBookforKids #NetGalley

This book is perfect for young nature lovers. It is both a coloring book and a terrific source of information on many bird species.

Start with the introduction that is full of interesting facts. Then a child may color wherever their fancy takes them. Each bird species has several pictures to fill in, along with information about them.

I very much like this book. Even as an adult, I learned a lot in these pages.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Zeitgeist Z Kids for this title. All opinions are my own.
