![]() ![]() Where was the build-up, the tension, the learning about each other? There was more love between Cate and her NYC boyfriend, Noah, than between her and the guy she's going to end up with. We know that Dillon and Caitlyn will end up together, but the process of them becoming a couple was both fast and boring. However, the romance was so anti-climactic. This was a great book about the Sullivan family and their beautiful relationships with each other (it made me really think about how I need to do better to keep in touch with my grandparents) and I love the way Roberts builds her family structures. Sadly, Hideaway just didn't seem to hit any of these marks for me. The long-standing "queen of romance", Roberts has always done a great job in writing her standalone novels that include romance, suspense, and a wonderful happy ending. ![]() I love Nora Roberts and she tends to take up the most space on my bookshelf with her many, many romances, trilogies, and family series, so naturally I'm always excited when a new book is published. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() For Becker, it was a concept that wasn’t entirely unfamiliar: She grew up next to a cemetery, where she regularly saw people coming to visit their loved ones. We all have to face our own mortality sooner or later. “My approach is about living life with well-being and richness, rather than fear.” “Delving into the deep sorrows and the deep joys of life can be uplifting,” she tells us. While it may seem counterintuitive, Becker says living with the end in mind can be immensely empowering. ![]() ![]() (Which, when we recently asked Wake-Up Call readers to name a book that had changed their lives, was name-checked many times.)

Are we not men? We are-well, ask Bigfoot, as Brooks does in this delightful yarn, following on his bestseller World War Z (2006).Ī zombie apocalypse is one thing. ![]() |
