It's a winner!
Great recipes and shopping strategies. My mom borrowed it to copy some recipes and my sister liked it so much she purchased a copy herself.

Once again Ellis Peters takes us to early England and gives us a look into monastery life. This is another excellent foray into the world of Cadfael; Crusader and ship's captain turned Benadictine monk. As an herbalist, healer, gardener and detective, using observation, deduction (and the early roots of forensic science) he untangles the threads of murder, deception and the occasional conspiracy. In this addition to the Cadfael collection, he accompanies Brother Haluin on a journey of absolution for a long ago wrong. But, as always, situations are not as simple as they seem...

I love Stratton-Porter's books, and this one was okay. Enjoyable but not her best work. I think it is a little weaker than her others. Still, worth a read.

Traditional, old school parenting, when a child knew a parent meant what they said, expected them to obey, and would follow up if they didn't. Traditional parenting gives a child security and allows parents to do what they are supposed to, Lead and Teach. Solves 90% + of discipline problems and can restore peace to a fractured, tumultuous household.

Inspirational, engaging and eye-opening.
Whenever I see a copy of this I purchase it, because I know I will be lending or giving it away. I recommended it to a friend and she said it should be required reading for every high school student in the country. With the revisionist history texts and negative "America is bad" stuff being thrown around, they need to be taught that which will engender patriotism, not an apologist and indifferent agenda.

Another excellent addition to the 'Monk' canon. I like the character of Ambrose, Monk's brother. This story features Monk's intention to give Ambrose a fuller life for a birthday present. There are, of course, the requisite number of bodies (that seem to follow Monk wherever he goes) as well as Natalie overcoming her (to Monk) irrational fear of RVs and their connection to devil worshipers. This one is as good (if not better) than the others.

I was sent to the book after viewing the film. I enjoyed both. Odd Thomas is an interesting character and I enjoyed the tone and premise of the book.

The title sounds like possibly another mawkish Christmas novel. Not so! A 'Redbird Christmas' is one of Fannie Flagg's best! She has the gift of taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary, of taking everyday people and giving them dignity and charm. She's also one heck of a storyteller!

Another delight from Fannie Flagg. A true storyteller, she has the gift of description and of giving dignity to her characters. You'll be pulled in and love every moment. It is also appreciated that it is not a schmaltzy Christmas tale (as the title might imply).

I enjoyed the account of the development of Newman's Own and the 'Hole in the Wall' camps. A good example of never giving up on either venture.

This is one of Fannie's best, the other being 'A Redbird Christmas'. She is a spectacular storyteller, one of her gifts being elevating the ordinary. Her characters, some of whom are people that could be easy to discount, have dignity and humor.
My new favorite author!

Timothy Zahn nails the Star Wars Universe, and the Thrawn Trilogy is a pleasure.

Inspiring. This book is one of the reasons I'm taking cake decorating. Another path to create art! After studying Sylvia's cakes, the different skill levels among local cake decorators was very apparent. People who take cake decorating classes are a dime a dozen. Artists at Sylvia's level are Sylvia are rarer.

Another great in the Cadfael canon. Also significant because it introduces characters that will prove pivotal in other books in the series.
