Review by Donna Huber
One of the great things about having a backlog of review copies on my Nook is finding wonderful gems such as A Sudden Gust of Gravity by Laurie Boris. It was cute and fun and kept me up well past my bedtime.

Review: Seven Days in May by Kim Izzo
by MK French
Sydney and Brooke Sinclair are sailing on the Lusitania with Brooke's fiance, Edward Thorne-Tracy, despite warnings from the German Embassy about sailing into English territory during a war. Sydney is interested in the suffragette movement and contraception debates, which horrifies and embarrasses Brooke. At the same time in England, Isabel Nelson is working for Room 40, transcribing notes, codes and ciphers amidst personal drama. The horrors of war soon become all too evident for all of these people.

At first, I thought the two separate stories would meet up at the very end. Instead, the dovetailing stories serve to ratchet up the tension, even though we know historically that the Lusitania was torpedoed and sank, killing most of its passengers.
We get to watch Sydney and Brooke's relationship completely unravel and then tentatively come back together, get to know the passengers in first and third class, and care to know about them and their struggles as individuals.
I didn't find the romance between Sydney and Edward to be very believable, even though they certainly do understand each other better and have more in common than Edward and Brooke do.
The passages in England following Isabel are interesting to see how the inner workings of Room 40 were, but other than a drive to decipher codes, we see little of Isabel or what she wants. When we finally do get to the sinking, it's vividly described and the aftermath is heartbreaking.
I liked the afterward, where Ms. Izzo reveals that Sydney's friend in third class is actually her own great-grandfather. Stories he had told her grandmother had piqued her interest, and there's even a helpful reading list for those interested in the Lusitania and the investigations that took place at that time. There are wonderful descriptions of the ship, the people, and how the differences in class affect everyone. No one is unscathed in this disaster, and there's sort of a hopeful note at the end of the book.

#BookReview: A Mother Like Mine by Kate Hewitt @katehewitt1 @tlcbooktours
Review by Susan Roberts
A Mother Like Mine takes the readers back to the small village of Hartley-by-the-Sea in the beautiful Lake District of England. It is the third book in this series but can be read as a stand alone with no confusion.
Amazon affiliate links are used on this site. A free book was provided for an honest review.
Abby is a single mother who was raised by her grandmother after her mother left when she was two. Abby had left her small village for a few years to attend university but after her fiance got killed, she dropped out of school and returned with her young son to live with her grandmother to help her run her small cafe. After 20 years away, her mother Laura shows up unexpectedly and wants to rejoin the family that she abandoned so many years before. Abby is very suspect that her mother will stay and very reluctant to welcome her home. She not only worries about her feelings but also doesn't want her son to get attached and then left behind as Abby had been so many years before. Abby and Laura try to establish a relationship with each other but both realize that it will be very difficult to do after such a long time apart.
Even though there are many other characters in this book, the two main characters, Abby and Laura, are the most important part of this story. Their attempts to have a relationship are well written and the main focus of the story. The reader can feel the pain that they went through in their pasts as it is revealed n bits and pieces.
This is a wonderful story about family and love and most importantly forgiveness.

Laura Rhodes has made a lot of mistakes, and many of them concern her daughter. But as Abby gets little glimpses into her mother's life, she begins to realize there are depths to Laura she never knew. Slowly, Abby and Laura start making tentative steps toward each other, only to have life become even more complicated when an unexpected tragedy arises. Together, the two women will discover truths both sad and surprising that draw them closer to a new understanding of what it means to truly forgive someone you love.
Kate is the USA Today-bestselling author of over 60 books of women's fiction and romance. She is the author of the Hartley-by-the-Sea series, set in England's Lake District and published by Penguin. She is also, under the name Katharine Swartz, the author of the Tales from Goswell books, a series of time-slip novels set in the village of Goswell. She also writes for Harlequin Presents.
She likes to read romance, mystery, the occasional straight historical and angsty women's fiction; she particularly enjoys reading about well-drawn characters and avoids high-concept plots.
Having lived in both New York City and a tiny village on the windswept northwest coast of England, she now resides in a market town in Wales with her husband, five children, and an overly affectionate Golden Retriever. You can read about her life at http://www.katehewitt.blogspot.co.uk.

Summer Party Time with @AlisonDeluca
by Alison DeLuca
Our annual summer party is a wonderful event. We catch up with old friends, try new recipes, have a few cocktails, and watch the kids have a blast in the pool.
This year I got the flu virus from hell one day before the party. Result: anguish and rage at the universe for daring to strike me down on the one day we get to hang out, eat, and watch the fireflies. Just. So. Wrong.
And there was nothing I could do about it. I couldn't cancel, so I simply had to suck it up and power through.
Luckily, this was not my first rodeo. I had a few tricks up my sleeve to make things easier.
The menu was planned: apps, dinner, and dessert plus drinks. The house was clean. Laundry was done. I'd gone to the grocery store, Costco, and the local vegetable stand.
The night before I made an exhausted effort and prepped all my serving dishes. I wrote a list of what I was going to make. Next, I cut out those items on slips of paper and put each one in a serving dish so I knew I was prepared.
With my last vestige of energy, I cleaned out my Tupperware cabinet. How do those things acquire so many extra lids since the last time I did that? The only possible explanation is aliens.
I've learned that putting out lots of complicated appetizers is a complete waste at a summer party. Bowls of chips, nuts, and fruit are plentiful. If your inner goddess demands an appetizer, go with something simple like sliced tomatoes topped with fresh mozzarella and basil. Drizzle on (purchased) balsamic glaze, and watch those puppies disappear like magic.
Sliders are another easy app to make. You can slap them together in the morning and store in Tupperware (which now matches with lids, thanks to the midnight cabinet raid) for when guests arrive. I just use Martin's potato dinner rolls and different fillings:
People go nuts over those tiny little sandwiches.
I've done a lot of bun research. The interwebs say the best buns are either Martin's Potato rolls, again, or make your own brioche buns if you feel like it. Spoiler alert - I didn't. Martin's won out again.
Costco was a godsend for cheese and bacon, served on the side. I put blue cheese and more brie on a plate so our guests could create their own burgers. A dish of microwaved bacon was gone in a flash. I suspect some of the kids bypassed the burgers and just ate bacon for dinner.
Other add-ons for fun burger creations:
Keep the burger buffet simple, though, or the food line gets slowed down by the one guest who just can't decide which toppings to use on his burger. For crying out loud. I'd suggest picking 3-4 toppings and going with those. It's fun to group them, though, like the cheese plate or a basket of mixed wild greens.
Channeling Blanche Dubois, I've learned to depend upon the kindness of my friends. Everyone brings salads and desserts, so there's no need to prep anything except a purchased macaroni salad. One heroic pal brought burrata, which is my new favorite thing in the universe. Another bestie made cranberry, wild rice, and avocado salad. I just couldn't get enough of that stuff.
Hello, can we talk guilt for a second? I'm conflicted with too much extra dessert - do I eat it and suffer calorie guilt, or toss it and suffer Irishwoman's waste-not guilt? Scaling back prevents that nasty little dilemma.
I served Jersey blueberries and dark cherries, plus frozen macarons in a pretty bowl. If your pesky inner goddess can't deal with such simplicity, you can always make Tollhouse cookie dough a week earlier and freeze in small containers. Pull one out the night before, spoon out some cookies, top with M&M's. Bake for 10 minutes per batch.
Your house smells like chocolate chip cookies, the guests exclaim over the M&M's, and it's super-easy. Win-win-win.
Another incredibly simple dessert people seem to find amazing are s'mores. You can cheat and make them in the microwave if you don't have a campfire: layer a large plate with graham cracker halves, one row of a Hershey's chocolate bar per cracker, and large marshmallows on top. Nuke for 12 seconds or until the 'mallows start to expand. Top with the other graham halves. Hand out to guests amidst cries of delight.
Even in the midst of my feverish flu, I had a great time at our party. My husband was super-helpful and took over grill duty, everyone pitched in, and the event was a success.
Lesson learned: good food is important, but great friends and family are vital to a happy life.

ham, Alouette cheese, sliced cucumbers
smoked salmon, cream cheese, fresh dill
brie and blueberry jam
People go nuts over those tiny little sandwiches.
Main Course
Dinner was a bit more complicated. I had a small reserve of energy and chose to burn it on slicing fresh veggies to top really good sirloin burgers, which I'd ordered pre-made from the Wegmans' butcher. I collapsed at the table and prepped romaine, more sliced tomatoes, and onion.I've done a lot of bun research.

Sliced radishes, carrots, Kirby cucumbers

Drinks
This minimalist attitude extended to drinks: wine, beers, and kid-friendly waters in bowls of ice. I did make a tray of Moscow Mules since they're so easy: vodka, ginger beer, squeeze of lime (already cut up that morning) and fresh mint. Those things disappeared like magic. |

Dessert
Like Elaine Benes, everyone brings desserts. As a result, I've learned to only make a few simple things so I'm not left with 50 leftover cakes and plates of cookies the following week.Hello, can we talk guilt for a second?

Great Book Club Book: American War by Omar El Akkad #MondayBlogs
by Donna Huber
I've always wanted to join a book club and this summer I noticed that the library was offering a post-apocalyptic book club. I enjoy dystopian novels, but typically I read young adult in this genre so I thought it would be nice to discover some adult dystopian. We met last week and had a great discussion. If you are in a book club, I highly recommend American War for the discussion potential alone.

A Beautiful Novel : The Lost Letter by Jillian Cantor
Review by Susan Roberts
"The edelweiss is an expression of love, you know. Proof of unusual daring, my father used to say. That’s how you proved you loved a girl. You ventured to the most dangerous mountain-tops to find an edelweiss." (From The Lost Letter)
Amazon affiliate links are used on this site. A free book was provided for an honest review.
I love reading books about WWII and this is one of the best that I've read. The characters and story are so well done that I read long into the night to finish it because I was so intrigued with the story.
The novel has dual time lines - 1938-9 in Austria telling Kristoff's story and 1989 in LA telling Katie's story. Both stories are very interesting on their own and when they merge into one it creates a fantastic story line.
Katie takes her Dad's stamp collection to be appraised because her dad is in a memory care unit with early dementia. The appraiser finds an unopened letter with a stamp that he has never seen and he and Katie try to solve the mystery together.
The other story line involves Kristoff, an apprentice stamp engraver working with the Farber family in Austria. As he is working and living with the family, the Nazis are approaching and finally arrive in the town they live in. Since the Farber's are Jewish, their lives are in grave danger.
This is a beautiful novel about love and family and how the love and loss during war time can have repercussions that last for generations. It's a wonderful novel and I highly recommend it.
Thanks to the author and the Great Thought's Ninja Review Team for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
