Welcome to Round 5 of In My Mailbox, hosted by The Story Siren. Here I highlight books I have acquired for review and for fun. Titles link to Goodreads, authors to their website (when available).
For Review:
Two books from LibraryThing Early Reviewers the past couple of weeks!
Midnight Riot by Ben Aaronvitch. I picked this one back in November and it is here at last. A wizard's apprentice and London cop, sharing my love for police procedural and urban fantasy.
A Tiger in the Kitchen by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan. Another love of mine: culinary tales. A woman begins a journey to reconnect to her Singapore roots through food.
From the Library:
When Beauty Tamed the Beast by Eloisa James. One of her fairy tale based romances, James always has a smart heroine within reach.
The Year of Living Scandalously by Julia London. Another favorite romance author who writes smart heroines in Regency England. London creates well-woven series of books from the characters you meet.
The Complete Guide to Making Cheese, Butter and Yogurt at Home: Everything You Need to Know Explained Simply by Richard Helweg. I have made all three of these at home at one time or another, but couldn't resist picking this one up off the shelf. I hope that the explanations are not as long as the title.
Dark Swan Bundle: Iron Crowned, Storm Born & Thorn Queen by Richelle Mead. I grabbed this from my OverDrive Digital Catalog when I knew this was on the order list this week. Really just to read Iron Crowned, as I do not own it (yet).
Happy Reading!
Ooo-- I love foodie books and fairytales! I've been planning to try making cheese/yogurt at home for years. I watched ricotta being made at a festival last fall-- looked fun and easy.

:o)
I *thought* I ordered Midnight Riot and the sequel (Moon Over Soho) for work, but now I can't see them in the catalog. Anyway, I am curious to know what you think of the first one.
ReplyDeleteI take it cheese and yogurt making are in your near future? Sounds fun! Enjoy all!
