Sunday Morning
by Jewel E. Ann

book cover


It’s a favorite contemporary romance. Sarah and Isaac’s story is raw, messy, and filled with real emotion. The chemistry between these two is hot while also having such a beautiful emotional depth. I will be reading more novels by Jewel E.Ann

Maureen

book cover


Although this book stands alone, it is a moving finale to the author's trilogy that begins with The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry, Maureen's husband. The book is interesting in how she is different from her husband, but relearns to love him, now in their later years, and struggles to deal with the suicide of their only son 30 years ago. I really enjoyed the author's style and may still read the other books out of order!!!

In the Time of Five Pumpkins
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


This is a most enjoyable book as are all of Smith’s Botswana takes. This book has a couple of interesting story lines, including 2 where things are quite different from what they seem to be initially and one that puts Mr. J.L.B. Matekoni’s life in jeopardy. There is also a very touching couple of scenes from the Orphan Farm.

An African American Cookbook- Traditional And Other Recipes
by Phoebe Bailey

book cover


Recipes and so much more! Cultural traditions, lessons learned, songs toward freedom, quotes from famous freedom fighters, and vignettes/quotes from people having experienced slavery as well as a variety of recipes. Regional recipes are shared from PA, the South, and other areas. This cookbook celebrated The Underground Railroad and all those living near it and participating in it. It reads like a history book as well as a cookbook. Highly recommended if you like cookbooks that share stories and anecdotes along with favorite recipes.

Morality for Beautiful Girls
by Alexander McCall Smith

book cover


Excellent book and this book is really three stories in one. As with all the “#1 Ladies Detective Agency” books, the setting is Botswana and the title story centers around finding a beauty contestant who is morally sound. Also, we see Mr. J.L. B. Matekoni struggle with a personal challenge, and Mma Makutsi does outstandingly well in a new role. To read these books and know these characters is to love them and Botswana.
