The Beekeeper's Apprentice: Or on the Segregation of the Queen/A Novel of Suspense Featuring Mary Russell and Sherlock Holmes (Mary Russell Novels) by Laurie R King

Emily Lehman, January 1, 2013

Despite the fact that many people recommended this book to me it still took me totally by surprise how much I enjoyed it. Mary Russel is a captivating character who is easy to sympathize with, and even though there has been such a Sherlock Holmes craze on the last couple of years the story feels fresh and exciting. The relationship between Mary and Sherlock seems very natural and believable and fascinating. I warn you it is very, very hard to put down.

A Thousand Words for Stranger by Julie E Czerneda

Emily Lehman, August 5, 2012

This is the first sci-fi book I ever read and got me into the genre. I first picked it up just because I thought the title was interesting, but it is easy to get sucked into the story. I like the telepathy story line, I think it is well handled and adds a lot. The aliens are cool and believable, not just humans in furry hats, or with weird ears like in some books. Sira is a great lead character, she is vulnerable but strong, and she gets stronger and more sure of her self as the story progresses. I would recommended this whole series!

Matter of Class (10 Edition) by Balogh Mary

Emily Lehman, July 29, 2012

This is a short easy read that on the surface looks like every other light regency romance. However there is a really surprising twist at the end of this one that really sets it apart and changes the way you look at the whole story. I will not ruin it....but pick it up, I think you will like it.

Rules of Civility by Amor Towles

Emily Lehman, January 16, 2012

This book was really good! After the first chapter I was completely sucked in. I think this will go on to be a classic, or should be anyway. The heroine is inspiring and realistic, I was actually surprised that the author was a man. He really seems to capture the time period, the whole book has a delicious atmosphere, and all the characters are interesting and surprising.

I really enjoyed this book because it took me by surprise. I had never heard of the author before, but the idea of a modern day career calligrapher was intriguing so I picked it up. What I really ended up enjoying was the witty and intelligent prose. The story is mostly about relationships. However the reason I recommend it is the serious twist at the end, which I didn't see coming at all and made the book for me.
