Coming off a great weekend and new memories with my friends.  I did some blog hopping last night as a little catch up session from my time away.  While doing this I stopped over at Between The Bookendz and found a review on The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie.

Its interesting that this book, with a  rather plain cover and a description that may or may not have caused me to read, captured my attention because of the review.  The way Eve at Between the Bookendz describes the book by first saying that the character Flavia De Luce is “one of the the best character names she has ever run across” and then going on to saying she adored the book…. that is what peaked my interest.

As book reviewers I thing we get a feel for what we like in a book, what makes us want to turn the pages.  When we read I review, at least for me, how the reviewer expresses their thoughts on the book can speak to me.  Eve’s delight in this book made me take a second look at it and now I think it would be a fun mystery – which, as Coffee Cup and I look out my window at a drizzly cloudy Minnesota morning, makes me think this is a book that would be a perfect read for today.

Stop by Between the Bookendz and say hi to Eve.  She has many more great reviews and as I explored her site I found other books that i felt I would enjoy as well.
