Book 3 of 2013- "Birds of a Feather" by Jacqueline Winspear

This is the second of the Maisie Dobbs series, and it was just as good as the first!

It is a total girl power book, but you don't think of it while reading it. I was hooked on it from the first page. This story is about a wealthy young woman going missing, and Maisie's quest to help find her for her domineering father.
Sad news: Someone checked out the third book yesterday. What a lame-o. So now I am waiting, and checked out a couple of books to keep myself entertained until it gets checked back in.

Book 2 of 2013- "The Holy Secret" by James L. Ferrell

We were given this book as a wedding gift, but I hadn't gotten around to reading it until now. To be honest, I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it. I do like religious books, but only in certain moods.

I thought it was excellent. It taught about appreciating the scriptures, in addition to telling the story of a young lawyer who was struggling with some things in his life. It's a short book, only about 200 pages. So I don't have too much to say about it besides the fact that it was good, and taught a lot of ways to get more interested in the scriptures.

The preface of the book was the part that got me. It said that in the Church, we may say we love the scriptures and love the temple, but DO we? Our temples would be so much more full if we really LOVED to go there. Ouch. I'm going to be better!!!

Book 1 of 2013- "Maisie Dobbs" by Jacqueline Winspear

Reading this book made me feel sad for that time. It was just post WWI, and hearing about all the veterans and what everyone in England went through is awful. They just picked up random nurses off the street! I hope they wouldn't ask me to do that... I'd probably die.

On the other hand, they all had a great work ethic. They all got up at about 5 (ha, yeahhhh right) and went straight to work. Also, it was nice to read about the propriety of that time. I know that's not how it always was, but it made me wish I could go see that time at least for a little bit.

I can't wait to get the next book in the series! I recommend it to anyone who wants a little romance and a little mystery, because it kept me guessing until the end.
