My November 2025 book reviews.
The best: the haunting The Blue Between Sky and Water; The Women Who Stand Between, about a female anti-poaching cadre in Africa; and The Firekeeper’s Daughter series, with young Native American women.

My November 2025 books read. The best: hands down, The Broken Earth series. Nothing’s pulled me in like this since Frank Herbert’s Dune eons ago. Next Blood Sisters and The Bone Thief, featuring a Native American anthropologist who works for the BIA.

This is the pound cake I baked to send to my in-laws for the holiday. I got the recipe sometime in the early 1960s from a woman whose husband had been in the posse that killed Bonnie and Clyde on May 23, 1935.

Happy Turkey Day to all. I'm bowing out of cooking this year, except I made a pound cake to send to my daughter-in-law's family.
