Books, Books and More Books

I have been reading voraciously, as usual, and have a few books to recommend:

Trapeze by Simon Mawer.  The main character, Marian, becomes a special operations spy for Britain against the Nazis.  Her special skill is that she speaks French and therefore is placed in France, where she has some previous connections.  Read on to find out what happens.  Apparently there were lots of women spies during this war.

I also read two business books:  Results Without Authority and Quick Brainstorming Activities for Busy Managers.  Both are worthy of a place on your business bookshelf.

Last night I started The Lifeboat by Charlotte Rogan.  I am 70 pages in and hooked.  I am always amazed by debut novels and wonder how long the writer mulled over the contents of their story before pen met paper (or fingers met keys)!

Apple Pie Bars

I made this recipe today and although I won’t try them until tonight after dinner, with all the butter, sugar and apples in the recipe, I am sure these are going to be delicious.  Image This recipe has a lot of steps because you have to make the crust, the filling and the crumble top so be prepared to spend some time making these bars.
