Love Welcome Serve by Amy Nelson Hannon is subtitled Recipes that Gather and Give. The focus of the book is easy Southern recipes that allow you to minister to others through food. Be warned that this is a serious Southern cookbook meaning it is not a health food book. When people are hurting or need a pick me up, they do not want diet food though. I found several Southern favorites (broccoli salad) as well as some new recipes (fajita guacamole burgers). I also appreciate that the author encourages readers to simply cook for others rather than focus on making everything Pinterest/Instagram perfect. 
Vicki Delany's third book in the Sherlock Holmes Bookshop Mystery series is The Cat of the Baskervilles. I have read the previous books. While it is not necessary to enjoy this book, I highly recommend it. Gemma is the owner of a Sherlock Holmes Bookshop and co-owner of Mrs. Hudson's Tea Room with her friend Jayne. The town of West London is preparing for the theater festival and the arrival of Sir Nigel who will star in The Hound of the Baskervilles. Unfortunately Sir Nigel's best years are behind him both in his acting and his people skills. Sir Nigel goes missing following a tea fundraiser and is later found dead at the bottom of a cliff. Is is suicide or murder? Gemma intends to find out. I absolutely adore this series and am happy with how the character of Gemma is evolving. This series gets better and better with each installment!disclosure: I received these e-books through NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books but was not otherwise compensated for these reviews. All opinions are my own!
