Review: The Honey Thief by Najaf Mazari
Every culture has folklore and stories that have been told for generations. Most of these folktales focus on society, history, love, family, and culture. Some are presented as parables while others a told with a mixture of fact and fiction.
I haven’t read too much folklore, mostly because I am familiar with a lot of the western civilization tales and I really had no interest in any other regions. When the opportunity to review The Honey Thief came along I debated about reviewing it and ultimately decided to give it a read.
I have studied Middle Eastern religions and some of the politics but I am far from an expert on the culture. I haven’t read a lot of literature from that region which is why this collection of short stories appealed to me. I like books that expose me to cultures I wouldn’t normally be exposed to and reading offers a unique way for the reader to explore a culture that might be uncomfortable for them.
Interview: The Maggie Hope Mystery Series by Susan Elia MacNeal
If you haven’t discovered the Maggie Hope Mystery series yet, you need to! If you are a fan of Jacqueline Winspear or Laurie R. King then you will LOVE Maggie Hope.
This series has gotten a lot of attention since the second book, Princess Elizabeth’s Spy, was a New York Times bestseller and chosen by Oprah.com as “Mystery of the Week” and one of “7 Compulsively Readable Mysteries (for the Crazy-Smart Reader).”
Set in London during the Blitz of WWII, Maggie takes a job for the PM, Winston Churchill, that will change her life. She is a math wiz who is able to crack Nazi codes for the British government which leads to an opportunity of a life time, a potential position with British Intelligence as a spook…follow her journey and adventures where she goes from secretary to a full fledged spy!
I discovered this series last year when I won a copy of the first Maggie Hope Mystery, Mr Churchill’s Secretary. After reading it, I knew it would be a series that I would continue following. Maggie made me want dye my hair flaming read and don red lipstick, I love her character! I was thrilled when the author, Susan Elia MacNeal, agreed to do an interview with me as well. Her latest book, His Majesty’s Hope (Maggie Hope #3) is out currently, and you don’t want to miss this one!
Without further ado please welcome Susan Elia MacNeal to The Lit Bitch!
