The Book Bin Corvallis

“Whenever I am in a particularly awful mood I will turn on a Nora Ephron movie and instantly feel better. From When Harry Met Sally to Julie & Julia, you can’t go wrong with a Nora Ephron screenplay for a little pick me up. This book was no different. Rachel is seven months pregnant when she finds out her husband is in love with another woman. Though rather than being a depressing book about marriage, it instead points out all of its oddities. The humor is topnotch and the dialogue is some...”

“Deeply poetic and romantic, I can only describe this book as beautiful. Now will you have to read this book several times to understand the plot? Yes, absolutely. However you will fall in love with the main characters by the first chapter. Red and Blue are on the opposite sides of the time war, but leave letters tucked away for each other throughout time.

“This book is a freaking wild ride, which I recommend you get on. Yes, there is hot dog information between the unfiltered commentary from the author, who reminds me of a young Anthony Bourdain, while they wander along the road searching for this iconic food. ”

“Shy baker and kick boxer Lyndsay opens a West Indian bakery in Brooklyn and has to defend herself from suspicion of murder- of another baker! A delightfully cozy mystery, with a wonderful family at its center. I loved the character development, the light (and bloodless) murder mystery and the warm, enveloping bakery vibes. And there are recipes! The narration was excellent, just the right amount of accent and tone. I have already ordered Spice Isle Bakery Mystery #2! ”

“This book was an absolute delight! Full of mirth, intrigue, and emotion. So enjoyable - I both couldn't wait to see what happened next and didn't want it to end. Murder Your Employer has earned the greatest compliment I can think to give: I would be proud if any of my employees got into The McMasters Conservatory for the Applied Arts and successfully 'graduated'. That's saying A LOT! The narration by Neil Patrick Harris & Simon Vance was masterful. ”
