    Welcome to Serenity (The Sweet Magnolias)Welcome to Serenity (The Sweet Magnolias)
    by Sherryl Woods

    When Jeanette Brioche helped launch The Corner Spa in Serenity, South Carolina, she found a whole lot more than professional satisfaction. She discovered the deep and loyal friendships that had been missing from her life. But even the Sweet Magnolias can’t mend the terrible rift between Jeanette and her family or persuade her that the holidays are anything more than a season of misery.

    Pushed into working on the town’s much-loved annual Christmas festival, Jeanette teams up with the sexy new town manager. Tom McDonald may be the only person in Serenity who’s less enthused about family and the holidays than she is.

    But with tree decorations going up on the town square and a bit of romance in the air, Jeanette and Tom take a fresh look at the past and a hopeful look into the future. Together they discover that this just may be a season of miracles after all.

  • Book of the Day: Land of the Blind

    Land of the BlindLand of the Blind by Jess Walter

    While working the weekend night shift, Caroline Mabry, a weary Spokane police detective, encounters a seemingly unstable but charming derelict who tells her, “I’d like to confess.” But he insists on writing out his statement in longhand.

    In the forty-eight hours that follow, the stranger confesses to not just a crime but an entire life – spinning a wry and haunting tale of youth and adulthood, of obsession and revenge, and of two men’s intertwined lives.

    Fiendishly clever and darkly funny, Land of the Blind speaks to the bonds and compromises we make as children – and to the fatal errors we can make at any time.

  • Book of the Day: The Soup Club Cookbook

    The Soup Club Cookbook: Feed Your Friends, Feed Your Family, Feed YourselfThe Soup Club Cookbook: Feed Your Friends, Feed Your Family, Feed Yourself by Courtney Allison, Tina Carr, Caroline Laskow, Julie Peacock

    Four busy moms share not only their formula for starting a soup club–which gives you at least three meals every month when you don’t have to worry about dinner–but also 150 fantastic recipes for soups and sides and storing tips for stretching those meals across the week.
     
    The Soup Club began when four friends (who, between them, have four husbands and ten hungry kids and several jobs) realized that they didn’t actually have to cook at home every night to take pleasure in a home-cooked meal. They simply had to join forces and share meals, even if they weren’t actually eating them together. Caroline, Courtney, Julie, and Tina happen to be neighbors, but a soup club is for anyone: colleagues, a group of workout buddies, a book club. All you need are a few people who simply want to have more home-cooked food in their lives.

    In a soup club each person takes a turn making soup. Soup is forgiving, versatile, and perfect for sharing; it can be spiced to taste, topped elaborately or not at all, and dressed up or down. It travels well and reheats beautifully. The Soup Club Cookbook also has dozens of tips for cooking in quantity and for tailoring soup to individual tastes and needs. Here, too, are simple guidelines for starting your own soup club, anecdotes, and a few cautionary tales  that will inspire anyone to share food and eat well.
     
    Recipes include quick and easies, classics, twist on favorites, and dozens of flavor-rich new crowd pleasers!
