Inspirational
This book is shocking, entertaining, inspiring, and absolutely wonderful. I'm so glad Cupcake Brown chose to share her outstanding story with the world. Although her story is heartbreaking at times, her writing is upbeat and kept me engaged in the story.

Crazy About Cupcakes18 reviews

A fun book!
I am on a cupcake kick right now; I love making them for my kids' schools, and for my family and friends. This book has so many great recipes it was hard to pick which one to make first. But I opted for the Pina Colada cupcakes, and they were absolutely delicious. This is the first time I made cupcakes from scratch, and it's a huge difference in taste and texture.
I highly recommend this ...

Couldn't put it down...
I read this book in 2 days... I really couldn't put it down! I don't want to give away too much, but I can't believe the rules the "girlfriends" had to live by. I think the "Girls Next Door" have it much better than the former gf's since they are making their own money now with the TV show. Oh and the thought of ALL that babyoil and Hef... yuck! LOL

Vegan with a Vengeance : Over 150 Delicious, Cheap, Animal-Free Recipes That Rock253 reviews
Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Isa Moskowitz
Da Capo Press, 2005
I'm in love with this cookbook
This woman is a kitchen goddess. I am not a vegan (maybe I should say that I am a middle aged Republican with heart disease so no one thinks I am in love with the author ;^). But I am in love with this book. I have lost track of how many copies I have given to family and friends. While I have many favorite cookbooks, more meals appear on our table out of this book than the next two combined. ...

A great gift!
I bought this book as a gift for my 16yr old niece. The very next day, she told me how much she loved the book. She even cried reading it. I think it's nice to find reading materials that can move the minds and feelings of teenagers.

Cupcake Magic: Little Cakes with Attitude2 reviews
Kate Shirazi
Pavilion, 2008
cupcakes and book do have magic!
Just as it includes more than dessert cupcakes, this delightful book has that touch of spice and savory that makes it my favorite of cupcake books. It is a bit like reading a witty journal, but with fabulous photos and ideas. I wandered into this cupcake world and am now fully caught up and now am wondering if I shouldn't go rescue some chickens?

As always - fun lovin' reading with Plum
Another great book in the series. There are so many reviews here already - I'll just toss in my short one for the star average. These books are a great getaway when you just want to escape in some entertainment for a little while. Lots of laugh-out-loud wit and intelligence without the deep brooding conspiracy and blood and gore of many best sellers. Fun sexual tension without the anatomy ...

Kensington, 2005
Delightful visit to the Midwest
Being from Minnesota myself, as was the author and as are her characters, I relish these books. They're so "Minnestoa Nice." They seem such refreshingly normal people despite the number of murders in their midst. In this book, Hannah's brother-in-law, Bill, runs for sheriff and the current encumbant is murdered. Assisted by her sister Andrea, Hannah attempts to clear Bill and find the real ...
