About this week’s book: The cover was sent in by Melissa of Miel et Lait. She writes about food, books and herself. I think I’ve been following her blog more or less since I started blogging! She always has interesting posts, and since she’s one of the lucky people to go to BEA (Book Expo America), I’m sure we can expect some interesting posts about that later this month.

Her entry is not reviewed on her blog, but a little bit of research should be enough to find out which book it is.

Which book is this?

• The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender
• The Girl who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen
• The Probable Future by Alice Hoffman
• Dance Upon the Air by Nora Roberts

About this week’s book: The cover was sent in by Cindy of The Only Cin. Cindy is an editor from South Africa who also has a dab hand at putting together a great meal. After a few successful catering jobs, I guess she can call herself a professional caterer as well, now. On her blog, look out for great food ideas, recipes, wine suggestions, and random thoughts about the things that keep her busy.

The book Cindy chose is all about families and relationships and past mistakes. It sounds really good! Cindy doesn’t review books on her blog so you’re on your own with this one!
