  1. I liked First Frost just as much as Garden Spells. Perhaps some readers preferred GS because it was the author’s first novel and it was a delight. I loved it and look forward to her next book.

    • Hallo, Hallo Mary!

      My apologies for the long absence between your lovely comment and my response! I admit, over the ensuing years I’ve been a book blogger I haven’t always had the ability to respond to comments. A large part of that was due to my chronic migraines & health afflictions; this February 2020 I’m going through my archives and am starting to make amends by finally getting the chance to respond to all the kind commenters who gave me such a lot of joy by their presence through the years! I’m about to enter my seventh year as a book blogger and I know when I originally posted this post – that seemed so dearly far off!

      I didn’t get the chance to maintain these Jorie’s Box of Joys posts for very long – I tried to insert them into my #TheSundayPost selections but had to take a hiatus from writing up meme posts until this past December when I finally could resume my #TopTenTuesday posts! As 2020 progresses, my features & memes will start to have a better presence again on my blog. Part of which, I’d like to resume talking about the books I’m receiving within The Sunday Post as I had hoped to have maintained.

      In response to your thoughts – I never had the chance to pick up either novel: First Forst or Garden Spells; the former is on my backlogue list to bring to blog to expand my thoughts on it and the latter is one I need to borrow through my library. I was hoping I might be able to listen to them on audiobook – as I’ve grown an attachment to audiobooks since 2016. Like you, I am hoping to continue to read her novels and sort out which ones are my favourites to have discovered.

      I look forward to visiting your blog and find out what you’re currently sharing from your own bookish adventures! Thanks again for leaving me a response and a kind note to let me know you had visited.
