The Bees by Laline Paull

Intrigue, murder, politics, slavery, religion, pomp, lavish banquets… and all within the hive, where Flora 717 is born. The Bees may be the most striking book I’ve read this year, and I could hardly stop reading. Author Laline Paull has created a plausible world that will suck you right in and leave you breathless. —Becky …

Lavender Garden

The Lavender Garden by Lucinda Riley

“‘Poor little rich girl’ might be a fine description of Emilie, who inherits the family estate in the South of France. She also inherits heaps of debt from her distant father and spendthrift mom.

All Woman and Springtime by Brandon Jones

“Mr. Choy had the perfect business plan, with almost no cash outlay for staff. His porn company used North Korean refugees who had nowhere to run.

Vintage Books, Vancouver, WA

Tucked into a shopping center in Vancouver, Washington—just across the bridge from Portland—is a gem of a store staffed by seven passionate readers. The space itself is low-key, with pine bookcases and old rugs and chairs, like a much-loved library in someone’s house. The staff is personable and high-energy, a lot like owner Becky Milner …

A World of Cake: 150 Recipes for Sweet Traditions From Cultures Near and Far by Krystina Castella

“Mochi rice cakes in Japan; Nutmeg Cake in Armenia; almond pastry M’hanncha (Snake Cake-because it looks like a snake, not made of snake); and vibrant Pandan Cake in Indonesia. A real world tour of a cake book. I would eat all of these cakes, and I would become very fat.” —Tom, Vintage Books, Vancouver, WA
