Just found out …

Happy Friday!

First, here’s something to make you smile:

Second, I just found out that an author liked my review of his book on Goodreads!

That’s a new experience for me and it was quite exciting.  The book was The Baklava Club by Jason Goodwin

and it was the fifth of a series of books set in the waning days of the Ottoman Empire featuring Yashim, a

eunuch who happens to be a very good investigator.  I think I may have posted about him before but he’s

well worth mentioning again and well worth reading about.  The stories are good, you get a lot of historical

detail and Yashim likes to cook so you get some tasty looking ideas for what you might want to eat this

weekend.

Check out the books:
