We had a rainy afternoon today so it was perfect time to curl up with a good book. Well, two good books. I keep going back and forth between these two:
Awakening seems to be the perfect mystery book to get me out of the slump I’ve had with some mysteries lately. Manservant and Maidservant is for the Slaves discussion coming up July 31. Grab the book and join us.
Oh and I meant to mention that we finally did have our German bread on Monday. Warm from the oven and with Nutella, oh my goodness, so good. For a moment I felt like I was in Germany.
Ok, my books are waiting for me. What about you, what are you reading?

I’m enjoying Emily’s Ghost by Denise Giardina. I am going to try to finish it for Emily Brontë’s birthday on Friday. After going to Salem, I’m dying to turn to some books set there.
Ooh, your bread sounds so good!! Wish I could have some, hehe.
I’m currently reading Linger and The Cardturner but I’m reading more of the former since that’s the book which I’ve been waiting for a long time! 🙂
What kind of German bread is it? I absolutely love brötchen, but you can’t get it around here that I know of. Do you have a recipe?
Dana Huff – Isn’t Salem wonderful? I’ll be looking forward to your review of Emily’s Ghost. The bread my husband made is vollkornbrot. He found the recipe in Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. The book also has a recipe for brotchen which hopefully we will try soon. And, I understand about not finding the bread. In the 8 years my husband has been in the States he has never found his German bread. Finally, success!
Melody – Next time I have to take a pic 🙂 It was really yummy. I’m looking forward to your review of The Cardturner, that book has a great cover!
Sadly I can’t join you for Manservant and Maidservant, but I really look forward to following the discussion. That’s a book I’ve been meaning to read for ages.
I’ll have to check out the recipe for vollkornbrot in Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I don’t know if I’ve ever even had German bread!
I just started listening to The Girl Who Played With Fire. I’m also reading Fly Away Home (Jennifer Weiner) on my iPad. So far, I’m enjoying both!
I feel terrible, but I’ve set Manservant aside for the moment. I just can’t concenrtrate on it. Case in point–at the moment I am reading a very fluffy beach sort of book….
I keep meaning to try Nutella but haven’t gotten around to it! I’m reading (among a few others…groan) Water for Elephants and Whose Body. Very good!
I love rainy days for reading!
Nymeth – I understand. Too many books too little time 🙂 Drop in anyway and maybe it’ll motivate you to move the book farther up on the pile! haha…
Les in NE – It is so yummy. Although granted I love all bread! 🙂 Girl who Played with Fire is good. I haven’t read any JW in a long time.
Danielle – Don’t worry. That happens! I have had a busy week so I’m hoping to spend time with the book tomorrow because I’m still not very far into it. It’s really fun though I think. Different from what I expected though.
TIffany – Nutella is delicious! You need to try it and if you can put it on a fresh baked bread, still warm. Oh my! I need to read Water for Elephants before the movie comes out!
Kathleen – I agree! They are sort of just perfect for curling up with a book, coffee and a comfy chair. I think I need a weekend of rainy days to get caught up on books 🙂
Hmm. Maybe I need to get back to it–I love the idea of it. I think I just need to get past the first few chapters!
German bread with Nutella! yum 🙂
Happy reading, they both sound good.
Mmmm! Think I’ll have some Nutella on Ritz crackers!
