the Mistletoe Mystery: A Maid Novella | Gingerbread Christmas Tree
You are missing out if you haven’t started the Molly the Maid series yet. Molly is a quirky and loveable hotel maid that often finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and in a few cases, the suspect at the center of a mystery. The Mistletoe Mystery is book 2.5 in the Maid series, this is not a stand alone book, you must read The Maid and The Mystery Guest books first.
All the Broken Places | Cranberry Orange Scones
All the Broken Places by John Boyne inspired a me to bake Cranberry Orange Scones. The book is about the life of Gretel, if you’ve read the infamous book, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, you’ll probably recognize that she is Bruno’s sister in that book. Gretel’s story jumps back and forth between her life in present day London at 91 years old and her as a 12 year old in Nazi Germany and then post-war in Paris.
The Witching Moon Manor | Ginger Molasses Cake with Rum Icing
The Witching Moon Manor inspired a me to bake a ginger molasses cake with a bourbon icing drizzle. This sequel to the Crescent Moon Tearoom gives witchy spooky season vibes but is set in the holiday season without being overtly Christmas-ey, it is IMO, the perfect transition from Halloween month to the holidays.
