The Grave’s a Fine and Private Place: A Flavia de Luce Novel 

By: Alan Bradley

Rating: 5 of 5

I’ve read a number of the Flavia de Luce Novels and this most recent one is right in keeping with the rest. Lots of sleuthing with chemistry and poison being a big part of the story.

Flavia de Luce is a young girl with a penchant for chemistry. She and her sisters are away from home, taking a break, after the heartbreaking loss of their father. Their dedicated servant, Digger, is along to take care of them and to provide Flavia assistance with her investigation.

Investigation of what? Well, it seems that everywhere Flavia goes, a death is sure to happen. In this case, she not only takes on the current death but starts looking into the deaths of others a few years before.

Ancient Egypt: A Coloring Book with Egyptian Gods, Mysterious Hieroglyphics, and Ancient Architecture

By: Jade Summer

Rating: 5 of 5

I have been looking for a coloring book with Egyptian style hieroglyphic designs and was really pleased to find this one. This coloring book has 25 different designs (the referenced 50 comes from getting two of each of the designs.) The designs really evoke the look and feel of ancient artwork to me. While they are not perfect replicas of known work, they have many of the iconic images I am looking for.

The designs are very detailed with but not what I consider intricate. There are many areas to color but I can use most coloring medium without any issues. I think crayons might be more difficult unless you can sharpen them to a fairly fine point.

While you can have access to .PDFs when you purchase this book, my review is based on the book as it is received from Amazon. That way you will know what the pages look like and how they accept color. I like that the publisher provides the digital version as well so you can choose the paper you wish to use and/or to color the pictures as many times as you choose.
