The 2nd book in the new "A Magical Bakery Mystery" Series, and I'm continuing to love it.

Elizabeth commented;

 "I absolutely love the world that Bailey Cates has created in the Magical Bakery series and how Katie's relationships are with all the other characters in the novels."

I agree!!!  And I like how the main characters are being more fleshed out, as well.  Making a standard plot line (of "heroine-has-two-guys-to-choose-from") much more interesting.

"Buried In A Bog"

"Buried In A Bog"

by

Sheila Connolly

I loved it!  And it's the first in a new series, called "A County Cork Mystery Series."  Hooray!  More to look forward to.

Obviously set in Ireland, in a tiny little village, from whence came our heroine's Gran.  Who made her promise to visit there, after Gran's death.

Twists and turns...  Keep the reader interested...  Lots of background info, on Ireland and the Irish, given...

"Entwined"

"Entwined" by Heather Dixon

Who could resist that cover???  :-)

It's a book, based on the old faerie tale "The 12 Dancing Princesses."  

Actually, it was too long, for me.  Too much discription of all the dances, they learned.  Too many *trials* for our heroine.   It was like too many "Perils Of Pauline," and I get tired of books, which put the heroine through too many icky happenings.

"The Ocean At The End Of The Lane"
by
Neil Gaiman

Who could resist that Title and Cover Art?!?!?!?

From:  Good Reads site...

"Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and..."

This is the 2nd book by this author, I have read.  He writes in a very different and quirky way.


Below, from another review...
"Once again, Neil does what he does so well: he takes us by the hand and introduces us to a dark, tangled corner of the universe full of things that make us shiver and hold our breath in the dark."  


A rather short book, btw....  :-)
