Book Review: Temperance's Trials

Hallee Bridgeman did it again. This book, Temperance's Trials, the first in the Virtues and Valor Series takes place during World War II.  After Melissa Gilbert's father is taken away by the Gestapo for suspicion of aiding Jewish children, she and her brother run.

Melissa joins a group called the Virtues which is made up of a group of ladies that each have special skills. Melissa, now with the code name Temperance learns how to run a wireless then heads back to France.

This book is written, very well, from Melissa's point of view. Bridgeman know how to make a book a book that has just the right amount of excitement and always leaves me saying, "I can't wait for more."

Book review: A Handful of Pebbles

This book, A handful of Pebbles by Sara Alexi, is the 7th book in theGreek Village Series. I have not read any of the other books but this did not take away from my enjoyment of this book. The fact that it is set in an area of the world that intrigues me pulled me in and the story kept me involved.

In this book, Sarah goes to Greece to attend her youngest son's wedding. This was an emotional book that pulled on many feelings that, I believe, many mothers go through when they witness their children marrying, regrets, change and more. I now want to read each of the other books in this series. Alexi is such a wonderful writer. Thank you for this book . 

Book review: Gummi Bears should not be organic

I love this book. I first requested this book from NetGalley because the title made me smile and the smile did not disappear throughout. The author is a blogger that finds ease in finding the humor in her everyday life raising three daughters.

It makes it easier to find the humor in a mother's everyday life. I was able to relate to the stories that she told as I caught myself laughing out loud every time I  picked this book up.

Book Review: ZooBorns Mother Love

This is a book full of the love between mothers and their babies. Filled with adorable pictures of animals, this book tugs at the heartstrings.

The copy that I received from NetGalley was only a partial copy but the pages that I received would make a wonderful snuggle time with mothers and their little ones. The pictures make you want to see more as they show the struggles that mothers go through to make sure their young are safe and loved.

Based on what I was able to see, I would recommend this book to anyone that loves to read to little ones.

Cookbook Review: Bread and Butter

Bread and Butter is full of vegan and gluten-free recipes. Erin McKenna includes sections on assistance with ingredients, such as the different flours and powders, sweeteners, and fats. Then there is a help section that is filled with FAQ which helps to resolve potential problems people may have when first approaching this style of baking.

Then come the recipes. She has sections called : the waking hours; breads; sandwiches; pizza and focaccia; this is for the kids; foreign affairs; puff pastry and beyond; snacks; dips and dressings; bread reborn and sweets: the bonus round.

I did try a few of the recipes from the breads and the snacks and they were easy to understand and follow. Plus the items turned out wonderful.

I would highly recommend this book to anyone who cooks gluten-free and vegan.
