The Lost Ticket by Freya review

 Title:  The Lost Ticket

Author: Freya  Sampson 

Ch: 51

Pg:  336 

Genre:  Contemporary

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Berkeley

     The lost ticket was a sweet read. But I do recommend having tissues when you read it because it’s a bit of a tearjerker. Libby Nicholls meets elderly Frank on a London double decker bus. And a friendship blooms as Libby helps Frank find some he’s been missing. But it’s also about Libby’s journey to find herself.

Switchboard Soldiers by Jennifer Chiaverini review

Title: Switchboard Soldiers

Author:  Jennifer Chiaverini

Ch: 27

Genre:  Historical Fiction

Rating: 5 stars

Publisher: Harper

 

I’m not going to lie I picked this one because it was about early telephone operators and WWI. Which isn’t something one doesn’t see in historical fiction. The telephone operators as heroines was what drew me in because my great grandmother was one of her she was younger just not during WWI.

I enjoyed that real historical hero’s were woven into the story. Not only did l learn from the story. I learned even more from the authors note at the end.

The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston review

Title:  The Dead Romantics

Author:  Ashley Poston

Ch: 39 plus epilogue 

Genre:  Rom Com

Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Berkeley

 

This was the perfect fall rom com. That gave me a little bit Casper and Wednesday Addams vibes. But grownups. Florence Day is the daughter of the town funeral director, and she sees ghosts. Which is part of the reason she hasn’t been in a decade.

This one gave me Hallmark movie vibes but with ghosts. It was a sweet read as Florence learns who she is and what she wants in life.
