Summer on Blossom Street (Blossom Street Books (Audio), by Debbie Macomber

An audio book from the public library. Listened to and reviewed on LibraryThing in February, 2014



A light-hearted piece about individuals and families in a Seattle, Washington neighborhood with a smorgasbord of family relationships and romance. It was read by the radio star, Delilah. I like to listen to Delilah on the radio occasionally, but didn't care for her reading. She put too much emotion, and sometimes inappropriate emotion for the context, in my opinion. I found that distracting. I did like it because it was "family-friendly" and "prim granny" friendly. ;-)

Scarlet Feather, by Maeve Binchy

Read and reviewed in November, 2014. Released later

A good book, about families, extended families, careers, and ambitions. A young woman and business partner open a catering business, facing and overcoming many challenges and disasters. A pair of neglected children, borhter and sister, enter the picture. I enjoy Maeve Binchy's writing.
