Bite-Sized Magic

Last night, I finished reading Bite-Sized Magic, the third book in the Bliss series, by Kathryn Littlewood.  It was my least favorite of the series, because it contained the fewest magical back stories.  However, it is very relevant to today's social and economic issues.  It could stand as a parable about the dangers of corporate personhood and growing monopolies.  It certainly could launch a discussion about greed and class and injustice.

Happy reading,
Christine

A Dash of Magic

Enchante`!  That is how I felt after reading A Dash of Magic, by Kathryn Littlewood.  Set in France, with allusions to the Mona Lisa, the Louvre, Versailles, Marie Antoinette and the Eiffel Tower, this confection of a cooking-contest story contains all the ingredients of a good read!  I can't wait to start the next book in the series.

Happy reading,
Christine

Book Bliss

I just finished reading the aptly-named Bliss, by Kathryn Littlewood.   This middle-grade novel combines magic, mystery, muffins and a motorcycle-riding aunt.  Rose, the twelve year-old protagonist discovers that her family owns a magical cook book.  When her parents are called out of town, Rose and her siblings cook up some chaos.  Hungry for more, I just ordered the sequel, A Dash of Magic.

Happy reading and baking,
Christine
