Once again another year has ended, and we take a look back at the many books reviewed in KRL. Each of our main reviewers share in this post their top 5 favorite books they reviewed in 2016. Usually I include myself in this list, but to my surprise I found that I have reviewed very few books this year.

We end October with a fun group of new mysteries from Penguin authors, and most tie in to food and drink in some way-
Crepe Factor: A Scrapbooking Mystery By Laura Childs and Terrie Farley Moran, Seeds of Deception: An Orchard Mystery Series by Sheila Connolly, Tangled Up in Brew: Brewing Trouble Series by Joyce Tremel, and Killing Thyme: A Spice Shop Mystery by Leslie Budewitz.

Maxine (Max) O’Hara traveled to Germany to get her brewmaster’s certification and then spent months finding just the right spot for her brewpub in a revitalized section of Pittsburgh. Kurt, technically her assistant but more of a right hand guy, knows all about brewing beer. His father was one of Max’s instructors. He’s also a great cook and will take care of the food side of the pub. A stickler for perfection, he works continuously to achieve a unique taste for familiar foods like kirschtorte (chocolate cherry cake).

Bubbles is 6 years old and likes to float through the room playing with all the other animals and toys along the way! He is a very energetic kitten that acts a bit like a wind-up toy, so he will go and go, and then when he has wound out, he will plop down for a motor filled cuddle. He does not like to be by himself and he will tell you so with his dainty sounding meow. Bubbles has been fostered with other cats, dogs and children. He does enjoy sharing a soft stuffed animal as his surrogate mommy for night time sleeping. Bubbles will bring you unending joy and he will keep you happy as you float through life together!! He is available at Cat House on the Kings.
