Lizzy & Jane, etc ~ books 14-18

 


This book was different than what I am used to reading and would probably have made more sense if I was a Jane Austen fan, but it was good nonetheless.  

Lizzy and Jane couldn’t be further from Jane Austen’s famous sisters for whom they are named.  Elizabeth left her family’s home in Seattle fifteen years ago to pursue her lifelong dream—chefing her own restaurant in New York City. Jane stayed behind to raise a family. Estranged since their mother’s death many years ago, the circumstances of their lives are about to bring them together once again.  Known for her absolute command of her culinary domain, Elizabeth’s gifts in the kitchen have begun to elude her. And patrons and reviewers are noticing. In need of some rest and an opportunity to recover her passion for cooking, Elizabeth jumps at the excuse to rush to her sister’s bedside when Jane is diagnosed with cancer. After all, Elizabeth did the same for their mother. Perhaps this time, it will make a difference.  As Elizabeth pours her renewed energy into her sister’s care and into her burgeoning interest in Nick, Jane’s handsome coworker, her life begins to evolve from the singular pursuit of her own dream into the beautiful world of family, food, literature, and love that was shattered when she and Jane lost their mother. Will she stay and become Lizzy to her sister’s Jane—and Elizabeth to Nick’s Mr. Darcy—or will she return to the life she has worked so hard to create?  (picture and description at Amazon)

MAD Librarian, etc ~ books 13-14

 


Taking a detour from my regular types of books I read, this one was a quick, funny book to hold me over before I start my next one.  Rebecca had this on her Christmas list and naturally I was intrigued.  I got it for her and she read it pretty quick, then let me borrow it to read.  


BREAKING BAD FOR LIBRARIES.  A Southern librarian fights back when the city cuts off funding for her library in this funny, angry book from award-winning author Michael Guillebeau. (picture and description from Amazon)
