I don’t know what I would do without books. Before there was printing, books were handwritten and were rare. So I am glad that we have an abundance of printed books as well as e-books now. Gutenberg’s Apprentice by Alix Christie is historical fiction that tells the tale of the breakthrough in printing which produced the Gutenberg Bible and made possible all the books we have today. In 1450, Peter Schoeffer was called back to the German city of Mainz from Paris where he was working as a scribe.
I finished reading Love Letters by Debbie Macomber this weekend and it felt like I was visiting an old friend. I say that because with an old friend you know what to expect, you are always entertained and rarely disappointed. Love Letters is the third book in the Rose Harbor series (a spin-off of her Cedar Cove series) and is just as good as the two previous books. As usual, Macomber creates interesting and complicated characters that you grow to care about. Her writing truly touches your emotions, happy and sad, and that is a wonderful gift not all authors have.
