why does it have to end?!

Business Casual by B.K. Borison

Rating: 4.5 stars (out of 5)

Genre: romance

Review: I am so glad that I discovered Lovelight Farms and the town of Inglewild, and I hope that Borison changes her mind and writes more stories about other characters in the small town.  Borison's characters grow and change over the four books, but remain true to themselves, even when the focus has moved on to another couple.  My only complaint about this last installment is that Nova and Charlie's story is a bit too similar to Luka and Stella's story, but, again, it's Borison's characterizations that make this story a success.  Even if Nova and Charlie's path is similar to Luka and Stella's, they are very different characters, and that makes all the difference.  Borison has given us another warm and fuzzy (and steamy) love story.  You probably won't want to have to leave Inglewild either.

6DoBS - April - start with a travel book

 Let's start in Hawai'i...

*Moloka'i by Alan Brennert takes place in the 1890s features a young Hawaiian girl who is diagnosed with Hansen's disease (leprosy, as it was known at the time) and is sent to the Kalaupapa, the leper colony on Moloka'i.

From one leper colony to another...

*Carville's Cure: Leprosy, Stigma, and the Fight for Justice by Pam Fessler is a non-fiction book about the only leprosarium in the continental United States, located in Carville, LA and operational from 1894-1999.

Author Pam Fessler was a journalist for NPR, as was our next author.

It. Goes. So. Fast.: A Year of No Do-Overs by Mary Louise Kelly is the All Things Considered's host's reckoning with her struggle to balance work and family as her oldest son is a senior in high school.

From a memoir about parenting, to a memoir about a child-free woman who has to move back in with her parents.

*Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home by Rhonda Janzen is both hilarious and moving, as Janzen tells her story of going back home to her close-knit Mennonite family after a personal crisis.

When I think of humor, I think of Dave Barry...

*Tricky Business by Dave Barry is where you find out what happens when a gambling cruise ship with a very ... interesting ... collection of people on board gets hit with a massive storm.

Of course, Dave Barry is very proud to be a Floridian.

And so we end in Florida.

And there you have it: Hawai'i to Florida in six books.
