Recommendations! I get recommendations!

From Seattle Reader came Personality: What Makes You the Way You Are, by Daniel Nettle. Are you a Wanderer? Worrier? Poet? Or something else? Most of us, of course, are a combination of many things and this book will help you discover what. I think I'd put this with The Introvert Advantage (June 10, 2014 post).

From Crafty Reader came Well Read, Then Dead by Terrie Farley Moran. A cozy mystery, one of those set in the deep south, and including a recipe (in this case for buttermilk pie). An elderly resident owns property a developer wants. There might be sunken treasure. There's a missing cat and a mysterious picture in a locket. All the elements needed for a nice read. For me, I'd call this a 'filler' book ... sometimes I need something light and fun to read and this fits the bill.

Here's one with the theme of the trail in the title: The Readers of Broken Wheel Recommend, by Katarina Bivald (translated from the Swedish by Alice Menzies). Sara has decided to take her internet friend Amy up on her offer to visit Iowa, but when she arrives she learns that Amy has died. Since she's already here, she stays ... and that's all I'm saying. This is a delightful book of friendship, small towns, the ups and downs of life, and, of course, books. Thanks go to Canadian Reader for this one. :-)
