Apple Cider Donut Holes Recipe with Caramel, Apple or Maple Whiskey Filling
Apple Cider Donut Holes with Apple Pie, Caramel, Whiskey Maple filling….. This Orlando girl misses fall. To me, the best part of fall is the apples (besides going back to school. Yes, I have always been nerdy!) Apple picking and fair foods like apple strudel and hot apple cider bred nostalgia. Here in Florida it is hot and summery.

M William Phelp Crime Fiction, Suspense Thriller Conneticut, present N/A Book Review The Girl Left Behind 4.3/5 A teen girl goes missing from a small farm town in Connecticut.

The Flatshare Book Review ~ Romantic Roomates
by Beth O’Leary narrated by Carrie Hope Fletcher and Kwaku Fortune set in West London, present day Book Review The Flatshare is the definition of a romcom. It’s sweet and funny, in a witty way and a breath of fresh air after all the deep thrillers I’ve read recently. Tiffy’s struggle in life and love is totally relatable to everyday life. I found myself laughing out loud during walks around the neighborhood. O’Leary is clearly talented, her characters full of life and thoroughly defined. Each of their personalities are so distinctive that I could open the book to a random page and tell immediately if it was Tiffy or Leon narrating.…
