The Sourdough Compendium by A. G. Slatter ~ a Review

by MK French

This book is made up of three collections taking place within the Sourdough world: Sourdough and Other Stories, The Bitterwood Bible and Other Recountings, and The Tallow Wife and Other Tales. These stories are the foundation of the universe A. G. Slatter wrote about in novels like The Briar Book of the Dead. The stories here involve magic and supernatural creatures that play a role in the Sourdough universe. We recognize cities like Lodellan and the fact that it's a vaguely medieval land that burns witches if they can, with a high death count.

The Divine Counselor by Alex Seeley ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

At a time when many feel anxious and discouraged, the idea of living whole, healed, and empowered sounds wonderful--but often out of reach. Counseling, self-help books, and podcasts seem to offer temporary relief, but what about life-changing transformation?

The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden ~ a Review

by MK French

Anne of Brittany was a child when France drove her father to his death, leaving her the last duchess. The French crown means to marry her to her enemies, but she plans to marry France's rival to secure her safety. To do so is difficult when spies abound, and the only safe place is the forest of Broceliande. Merlin the Enchanter had once been there, but its only remaining magic is the occasional unicorn sighting and the fact that it cannot be scried on. Pretending compliance with France, Anne plans a unicorn hunt in Broceliande as a diversion so she can wed in secret. Things don't always go according to plan.

Meeting the Author!

by Susan Roberts

I love to go to author events.  It’s great to get to know some of my favorite authors and to find out the ‘inside story’ about their books. Luckily, I live in an area with lots of indie bookstores within 50 miles, and all of them do events with authors both local and nationwide.  I was kind of nervous the first time I went to an author event by myself and was afraid that I would just sit quietly by myself.  What I soon found out is that when you put a bunch of book-loving women in the same room, they immediately bond over books and are soon treating each other like friends.  I’ve attended two fantastic events this month with two of my favorite authors and thought I’d tell you about them.   Question – Do you like to meet new authors and old favorites?  Do you go to author events?
