I'm reading "The Dante Connection" by Estelle Ryan (no.2) and enjoying it. I'm behind on this series, I always get sidetracked by other books! To those who are reading "The Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek...loved it! Try "The Giver of Stars" by Jojo Moyes, its similar, and good too. Just my...

I've been reading "Licking the Spoon" by Candace Walsh and enjoyed. Also "Too Many Cooks" by Dana Bate...these are older books. I loved "The Giver of Stars" by Jojo Moyes, and now I'm reading, "Hungry Mother Creek" by Heather Cobham. Catching up on my reading now that the holidays are over!

Ross...Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe comes out January 7, 2020. The Secret Ingredients for Wishes has been out since September 2016...which surprised me...I've never seen or heard of it before this year. I'm always browsing books and don't know how I missed it!

Hi Ross...both books are new for this year. My library gets them earlier I guess. I know "Midnight" comes out in January. Maybe your library will get it then. I don't know about the other book, but I know its new.

Where the Crawdads Sing Hi Kayelle...hope you enjoy the book. I loved it!

Hi Ross...I loved Where the Crawdads Sing, and recently read Midnight at the Blackbird Cafe by Heather Webber, and The Secret Ingredient of Wishes by Susan Bishop Crispell. They were really good and similar in a magical way.

Where the Crawdads Sing Kayelle - I absolutely loved this book. It's my top pick for this year. I also enjoyed "The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek" by Kim Michele Richardson. Its been quite awhile since I posted anything, but I do read the posts from everyone. Always enjoy hearing about a...

Hi...its been awhile since I've been on here, just wanted to reply to Kayelle's question about "Where the Crawdads Sing". I read it about a month ago, and I loved it. I hope you will give it a try. I recently finished a new book set in the hills of Kentucky..."The Book Woman of Troublesome...

I'm reading "The Hideaway" by Lauren K. Denton, just started it and its really good so far. Its set in Alabama.

Beef Wellington... Thanks, I'll check it out. I almost had the recipe, a lady at our library did some research through their system, and found a library that had the book it was in, but when the other librarian looked through it to make a copy of the recipe, someone had torn the complete recipe...

Still looking for this recipe...it was baked in parchment paper, no crusts of any kind. I hope someone can help. I think it was a 1986 issue of McCall's Cooking School magazine series. Thank you!

It's been awhile...just life in general, but I finished a really good culinary novel. The title, "Margherita's Notebook" by Elisabatta Flumeri, set in the hills and village of Tuscany, lots of recipes at the end, eccentric characters, romance and humor. I really enjoyed it.

I'm reading... Good Morning! Its been awhile since I've posted something, so thought I'd add my two-cents worth about a book I just finished this morning. I'm a huge fan of author Elly Griffiths, love her mystery series with Ruth Galloway, an archeologist (s) and now she has a new mystery...

Your new book sounds good, I've added the title to my books to read list. Hope you get to see the movie...I liked it alot. I finished the Margaret Maron book, and have started "Empire of the Sun" by Julie Otsuka...pretty good so far. Its set in 1942 and I have the second book "The Buddha in the...

Hi Jabbar...I'm a member here, but mostly lurk cause I'm too busy reading! :-) I do read all the posts, and yours caught my eye because I loved Pavilion of Women too. I also saw the movie based on the book, and it was good, even though most aren't that are based on books. Just my two cents...
