UKChica

UK Chica is the culmination of a lot of effort from a few people. Firstly, the name is a nod to my BFF (OK, I’m not 15, but she is the bomb!). She brilliantly came up with it.

Cat of the Century | By Rita Mae Brown

Is it weird that I like books co-written by animals? There are a couple of series I read where a cat is prominent in the story. Whatever. They are entertaining...

In a Day

This is a quirky little English movie where we meet a young girl who is working in a sandwich shop in London. Her life seems quite isolated and also quite...

Father Dowling Mysteries by Ralph McIrney

UKChica (ukchica.com)

For fun and light reading, McIrney is great. Not too schmaltzy. Likeable characters in familiar surroundings. These are great reads for holidays whether...
