The Good Master by Kate Seredy
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
As a Thief in the Night by Roger Young
No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexander McCall Smith

Easy Yummy Rolls

1 C melted butter

2 C hot water

2 eggs

3/4 C sugar

1 tsp salt

Mix all of the above ingredients together and then add 2 Tbsp yeast.  Let sit until it begins to bubble (about 15 min). Add 6-6 1/2 cups flour and 1 tsp baking powder.  Mix well, let rise until double, (about 1 hour).  Punch down, roll out, and form rolls desired.  Let rise 1-2 hours.  Bake 11-15 min or until golden brown at 375-400.  Top with butter while hot.  Yummy!  Make about 4 dozen.  For the crescents, roll 1/4 or 1/3 of dough into 14" circle, cut like pizza and roll!
