The Keeper of Lost Things kinda loses its way…

The Keeper of Lost Things by Ruth Hogan

February 5, 2022 by Travis_J_Smith Leave a Comment

During a recent trip to Barnes & Noble, I decided I wanted, for fun, for my fiancee to pick a book for me at random based solely upon the cover. Loving flowers, like she does, she naturally picked this one: The Keeper of Lost Things. Initially, in the more grounded beginning, I was liking this book. A man who lost his wife, as well as something special she’d given him to hold onto, decides to devote his life to picking up any and every lost […]

Which of Your Lost Items Still Cause a Tinge of Regret?

October 13, 2018 by Jen K 1 Comment

Bingo Square (Round 2): Cannonballer Says! I thought Caitlin_D’s review was intriguing, and as much as I love fantasy, it’s been nice to incorporate some contemporary fiction back into my reading.  Oddly enough, this is the second novel I’ve read this year with short stories interlaced into the narrative, the other being Erotic Stories for Punjabi Widows. Over forty years ago, Anthony’s fiancé died unexpectedly, and on the same day that Anthony lost Therese, he lost a final gift and keepsake she had given him […]

“If you never get sadness, how do you know what happy is like?”

June 30, 2018 by Caitlin_D Leave a Comment

For the first time in months I don’t have any library books in my house so I am desperately trying to get through my TBR shelf before once again succumbing to the siren call of Barnes & Nobel. The Keeper of Lost Things was gifted to me during last year’s Cannonball gift exchange and I can’t believe it took me almost 7 months to read because it was an absolutely charming novel. Lime green plastic flower-shaped hair bobbles—Found, on the playing field, Derrywood Park, 2nd September. Forty […]

Cannonball Gift Exchange. Thank you so much ElCicco

December 8, 2017 by Caitlin_D 3 Comments

I came home from work today and collected the numerous boxes from my front porch. Between Christmas shopping and getting some last minute things from Amazon for a trip my husband is taking there has been a pretty steady stream of boxes gracing our household. Needless to say, I was so excited to see I had received my Cannonball gift since everything else coming to the house seems to be for other people… Well, I have to nominate ElCicco for the Cannonball Gift Giving Hall […]
