Who Cries for the Lost by C.S. Harris

I binge read a number of these books years ago, then stopped because I find the books so formulative. (Lot of repetition of descriptions, characters all use the same phrasing, Sebastian kills an unrealistic number of people each book, for instance.) ...more

I'm not a cookbook reader and don't even own more than a couple now. My personal recipes are on my laptop, and I look for whatever else I need on-line. I stumbled upon Baking Yesteryear through an event at our library.

I definitely like the historical element of the books in this series, and I am a big Hero fan. Occasionally, I feel overwhelmed with the number of suspects/characters, and that was the case with this book. But it was great reading the author's note a ...more
