Six Sentence Saturday

Welcome to Six Sentence Saturday.

Where I try to express my thoughts on recent reads using only 6 sentences!!!!.
At the end of each review I will post a
rating scale of 1-5 using the cute and original (lol) Playing Cards.
Rating scale will be as follows:

5 of Hearts- You must read this book NOW!!
4 of Hearts- A great read, put it on your TBR list.
3 of Hearts- Glad I read but no big deal
2 of Hearts- Why did I finish this?
Joker Card - Don't bother (why did I?)


Table Manners by Mia King
I loved her first book, Good Things, which introduced me to Deidre McIntosh and she quickly became a character that I really felt an affinity to. I was happy to hear that King decided to write a sequel to tie up the loose ends from her first book. I again, loved Deidre, but there were times when I felt the writing wasn't as tight as it should've been and that this was written as an after-thought. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun book to read. But, the plot was cliche at times and I know King can do so much better than that. I know it feels like I'm thrashing this book doesn't it???.....I'm really not trying to be negative, I enjoyed it, but I wish it would've matched the first one in the caliber of writing.
My Rating:






The Missing: Seasons of Grace Book 2 by Beverly Lewis
Call me old fashion, but every time I read one of Lewis' books I just want time to stop. I love her simplistic writing, it totally matches the simple way of living that the Amish are so known for. There are a few new revelations in this one, but nothing earth shattering. I don't mind that at all, because I read these books for comfort. Visiting the Amish community in her books makes me wish I really knew how to cook from scratch, that I could quilt by hand, didn't care what time it was, and stopped to enjoy the little things in life. If you don't mind knowing how these books will end then I think you will find yourself smiling and wanting a snickerdoodle when you're done.
My Rating:






The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer
Oh my, this book was a pure treat. While I love Austen, I do find her hard to read. That's why I watch the movies a thousand times and then I don't have quite so hard of a time following the action in the books. Heyer writes in a style that reminds me of Austen, but one that I can totally understand and enjoy!! I found myself laughing out loud of some of the antics of Sophy. Even though I knew exactly how everything was going to turn out, I didn't care because I loved this book that much!!!
