Thanks, Amy! I love that title–Beekeeper’s Apprentice. YUM!

Sorry you didn’t like it. I actually enjoyed the reading although it was a slip of a novel, and didn’t leave a big impression afterwards. My only quibble was that the peculiar children seemed forced at times to match up with the photographs.

If you’re looking for great characters and some good mystery storytelling, I might recommend Laurie R. King’s Mary Russell series, beginning with The Beekeeper’s Apprentice. They’re awesome.

I have no idea how you missed the Little House books growing up. I can practically recite entire chapters. I literally read the whole series ten times in fourth grade. And so McClure’s book (especially combined with my newly-wed obsession with making things from scratch) was like reading a letter from Ida Brown (who never appears in the TV series, but is Laura’s dearest friend before her marriage in which she refuses to promise to obey Almanzo). So very much to love. Waiting eagerly for your next review. B

Nancy–It’s pretty stalled. Think I’m intimidated by all these great books I’ve been reading!

Interesting, Becky! You made me simultaneously want to and not want to read this book. How is your book coming?

Comment on please pass the friends green tomatoes by SaraV

I have not read Fried Green Tomatoes, but I think it was Doc Plemmons who said the movie is a disappointment after reading the book. The book, he said, was edgier, riskier, grittier, and more true. Not sure how you top the “secret’s in the sauce” scene, but keep intending to read the book to find out. Glad I don’t need to add the author’s whole repertoire to my reading list!

PS I have a great female lead character for your future novel. How about a socially awkward yet witty pediatrician from Minnesota who moves to Nashville, where she writes uniquely-uninflated Christmas card compositions every year about her hunky husband and kick-ass kids… And she is addicted to alliteration. Awesome?
