Well, I finished The Beekeeper's Apprentice by Laurie R. King over the weekend. I absolutely LOVED this book. It was not what I expected it to be at all. It was much more lighthearted and not so "mystery book-y" (if that makes sense). I will definitely be reading A Monstrous Regiment of Women (the next book in the Sherlock Holmes/ Mary Russel series) very soon.
But up next, Cleaving by Julie Powell.
From Amazon.com:
Julie Powell thought cooking her way through Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking was the craziest thing she'd ever do--until she embarked on the voyage recounted in her new memoir, CLEAVING.
Her marriage challenged by an insane, irresistible love affair, Julie decides to leave town and immerse herself in a new obsession: butchery. She finds her way to Fleischer's, a butcher shop where she buries herself in the details of food. She learns how to break down a side of beef and French a rack of ribs--tough, physical work that only sometimes distracts her from thoughts of afternoon trysts.
The camaraderie at Fleischer's leads Julie to search out fellow butchers around the world--from South America to Europe toAfrica . At the end of her odyssey, she has learned a new art and perhaps even mastered her unruly heart.
