If you do not read another mystery this year, you will want to read this one. The young miss slueth has all the wit and charm of Stephine Plum, the smarts of Sherlock holmes, and tenacisty of a bull dog on a bone.

a pretty, appetizing book. but the recipes require a bunch of not-so-common kitchen gadgets, and even less accessable ingredients. may be a great book for those living a raw vegan lifestyle already, not great for the rest of us who merely dabble.

I wasgoing to purchase this book when I saw it at a local co-op here in Minneapolis. I am glad I looked at it first. It is not a very well done cookbook. It’s mostly long editorials about local farmers and chefs, which may be of interest to some, but I waslooking for a real cookbook using local foods. The photography is pretty bad too.

I liked the idea behind this cookbook, and I especially think those following the GAPS and SCD diets will find it appealing. However the actual layout of the book is so bad that it detracts from the benefit to be gained from reading it. Full color photos are placed seemingly at random, and not next to the recipes, which makes the book seem cheaply produced. Also none of the recipes strike me as at all

This is another in a long line of Mitch Rapp, off-the-books CIA agent stories by Vince Flynn. Flynn, by the way, is a Minnesota author. This was obvious when his character says

Petit livre sympa et amusant qui traite des expériences quotidiennes d’une caissière de grande surface. Très rapide à lire.

I really like this book because it sorta rappes everything up it doesn’t leave you on a cliff hanginger. I think if your haven’t read the series before you should read the you read the last book! I liked the book so much that I even did a school report on Laura Ingalls Wilder and I learned a whole buch of cool and new things I did not know so I think you should do a report or at lest learn new thing about her!!! :)

Read the notes that Lonnie Collins Motion, aka Locomotion, writes to his sister, who’s in a different New York foster home. Meet his friends, his teachers, and his foster family. Learn how Lonnie and Lili lost their parents, and how they stay together, even when they’re living apart. And, hold your breath as Lonnie’s foster brother, a soldier overseas in a war zone, goes missing.

If you shared an email account with your widowed dad, and noticed an email thanking him for dinner and a kiss, would you be able stop yourself from reading more? Frankie can’t! She starts writing to the mystery woman, pretending to be her father. She also skips school, gets to know the local “bad boy”, loses her younger brother and almost burns down the house, but that all comes later.

This is the third volume in the Duane Moore Saga. A wonderful story about a man getting older and coming to terms with it in his own way. Highly recommended.
