Yesteryear
by Caro Claire Burke

I found this to be a great reflection of motherhood and self-hood. It was less about religion and more about martyrdom, blind faith, and performance. The writing style clearly reflected Natalie’s distortion of reality and delusion. Overall a great, debate sparking read.

I found the story a bit confusing at times with the dual timelines and many different characters but overall enjoyed it as a cozy murder mystery.

Much more a war book than I had anticipated- not my favorite theme. I read it to learn more about story of Farmington legend Theodate Pope and definitely enjoyed those parts. Very detailed.

One of the worst books I have read. No character development or story line to be found.

Killing Me Souffle

book cover


This is an enjoyable mystery set in Oregon whose main character is a pastry chef. There are tips on baking and recipes included in the book which is part of a baking series. The characters are interesting and they pitch in to help out friends who have new jobs as chefs at a resort. There are beautiful descriptions of the shore and delightful Shakespearian quotes since Ashland is the home of a Shakespearian festival. This is the latest in a fun series.

The Sisters of Book Row

book cover


This is an interesting historical novel based on real events in 1915 in New York City. The sisters own a bookstore that they are trying to make profitable at a time when few women are in the book selling business and during the unsettling time of the Comstock laws and Comstock's frightening reign. It is a page turner as the danger to the merchants and the sisters escalate.

It's the 1950s and she's the queen of Jello molds, then it all goes sideways... well written and moving.
