Book Day – The Apothecary’s Daughter
29 May 2009
Fridays are going to be book days. I love Fridays. I love books. It’s a no-brainer.
I’m not far enough into my current book to discuss it, so I’m instead going to talk about The Apothecary’s Daughter by Julie Klassen. Um, wow. (This is why people don’t ask me to do book reviews very often.) Julie has a previous release, Lady of Milkweed Manor, and I’m so going to figure out a way to squeeze that onto my summer reading list.
The weird thing to me is when I got on Goodreads to rate The Apothecary’s Daughter as five stars, I saw that the average rating is 3.98 or some such fiddle-faddle. Does this happen to you too? Where you’re so engrossed in a book, so in love with the world and the characters and the plot, only to find out that somebody else thought it was less than awesome? I mean, 3.98 is still a very nice rating. But I just can’t fathom why anyone would rank it as less than a four. Unforgiveable.
So if you’re looking for an awesome historical read, check out The Apothecary’s Daughter. I think it’s a five. Though apparently that’s debatable.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Isn’t it awesome?? See now, if you listened to my raving about it to begin with, you would have known this months ago;-) And you will LOVE Lady of Milkweed Manor, trust me. It will appeal to the young mother in you, and you’ll love the trivia that begins each chapter.
