Not too much to say except this latest by Bauermeister is pretty dry. I think that the problem is that once you move the story away from the Island that Emmeline and her father live the story gets bogged down rather quickly. And then Baumermeister speeds up the timeline and slows it down depending. ...
The Scent Keeper was way out of my wheelhouse, and I'll admit that I was a little confused at first as to what it was about and where it was going. In the beginning, it felt a little like fantasy, but not quite, although there are elements that certainly stretched my ability to suspend disbelief. As...
This was my first story by Erica Bauermeister but I will definitely be watching out for her in the future and I will be looking to see what books my library carries of this fantastic author. With fluid movements, Erica painted a distinct picture of Emmeline’s world. I understood Emmeline’s confusion...
A nice little resource. Sadly it was only published once, so it's way out of date and ends with a few books published in 1993.

Food, family, relationships, recipes....a wonderful combination, and a marvelously wonderful book. THE LOST ART OF MIXING makes you feel cozy inside and out. After being with Lillian, you are relaxed and happy...she is just someone who makes you want to be where she is and where you want to stay....
This book won me over by leaving a few threads unresolved in the end, leaving me to ponder what might come next. I enjoyed spending time with characters who didn't always behave the way I thought they would (in real life, who does?). Overall an uplifting story that left me feeling good about the w...
Mi è piaciuta l'idea di dare a ciascuno degli "allievi" del corso di cucina spazio e un capitolo a parte visto dal loro punto di vista.
