The Board Food Trend Is Still With Us

Beautiful Boards by Maegan Brown

March 12, 2023 by CoffeeShopReader 2 Comments

Birthday month is here again, and I’m going to try a new food-board book; Beautiful Boards has a lot of pretty pictures, and it’s pretty good at explaining how to get the actual looks. There’s a lot to like, both for the content of the boards as well as the set-up. There is some general guidance … [Read more]

Persuasion by Jane Austen

March 12, 2023 by vel veeter Leave a Comment

"Sir Walter Elliot, of Kellynch Hall, in Somersetshire, was a man who, for his own amusement, never took up any book but the Baronetage; there he found occupation for an idle hour, and consolation in a distressed one; there his faculties were roused into admiration and respect, by contemplating the … [Read more]

Cohesive and imaginative, a marvelous collection

Lesser Known Monsters of the 21st Century by Kim Fu

March 12, 2023 by Mobius_Walker Leave a Comment

This is my favorite type of short story collection. Kim Fu manages to weave together twelve stories that vary in terms of how fantastical or real they are but all work to create a cohesive collection. I found myself frequently asking "What is happening?!" while reading this collection but in the … [Read more]

“A grace so ordinary there was no reason at all to remember it.”

Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger

March 11, 2023 by jomidi Leave a Comment

A librarian friend, whom I usually agree about books with, has been singing the praises of William Kent Krueger for quite a while now. Last year, based upon her recommendation I read his book The Tender Land, and didn’t much care for it. But since she has been relentless, I decided to give him … [Read more]

It is enough to exist in the world and marvel at it.

A Psalm for the Wild Built by Becky Chambers

March 11, 2023 by KimMiE" Leave a Comment

I had heard so many good things about this book that I decided to put a hold on it at my library back at the beginning of Bingo 2022. Like the characters in the novel, this book must have been on a journey, because I never heard from my library, and after Bingo, I forgot about it. In February 2023, … [Read more]
