Recipes for love and murder by Sally Andrew - what a fun read! I am just about finished with it. Just still need to scroll through some of the delicious recipes (not the one for murder - although all the ingredients and method are very well explained in this novel).

The widow by Fiona Barton - will start with this one later tonight.

The little prince by Antoine De Saint-Exupery - I am reading this little, but lovey book on my phone. In class. While the kids are working. OR while waiting for the next ones to arrive. The rest of the time - I do teach. Honestly.

Three men in a boat by Jerome K Jerome - also just about finished with this one. Quite enjoyed it. Don't really know what I'll be listening to afterwards. Will wait and see what pops up on Librivox and keep you posted!

    I love the use of color on Recipes for Love and Murder! I liked 11.22.63 - it was a real brick though... :D

      Recipes for Love and Murder is a very South African novel. If you would like to learn more about the "afrikaans" people and their oh so delicious recipes, read that book!! Tannie Maria is also a lovely character.

Audio book: May 20 - May 26, 2016 Librivox recording - recorded by John Nicholson (I still vote for Sean Connery to do this reading) You know what I love about book reviewing and blogging the most? It gives you the freedom to google your favourite books and characters for hours and hours and if someone asks what you are doing you can quite honestly say: RESEARCH. (You might even glare at them over the rim of your glasses. For effect you know. Also make sure to have a pencil at hand. Again - for effect) Afterwards, you might sound extremely clever and give lots and lots of useless information to anyone who would be interested in listening. (I strongly suggest that you keep your glasses down on your nose and have that pencil either in your hand or stuck in your hair).

Paperback read between 4 and 10 May 2016 I have a confession - I don't read enough South African fiction.  After reading this novel, I realized that I can't call myself "proudly South African" AT ALL. I love my country, but I am not always proud of my country. But I will never be a Peter and say "I do not know you". I would rather be like a real prim and proper Afrikaans "poppie" and just keep quite and sit in the corner. And then someone like Tannie Maria comes along and she reminds you of a couple of things:  I love being Afrikaans I love the Klein Karoo I love koeksisters, bobotie, melktert, vetkoek and karringmelk beskuit I love vetplantjies I love the smell of the first rain on the warm dry earth I love SPAR (although I might check out the managers with an eagle eye hence forth) I love being white, but have a black friend that I can honestly call one of my 5 best friends ever.  I love reading a South African murder m...
