Jillian's Picks Click on any to title to order Back to staff list THE HISTORIAN by Elizabeth Kostova (Back Bay $15.99). Kostova brings the myth of Dracula to frightening life. After the disappearance of her father, a young woman uncovers his life long obsession with Vlad the Impaler. With the help of a few friends, she begins her own search for her father, her family, and Dracula himself. Kostova keeps the pace quick with her masterful storytelling. You won’t want to put this one down. VOGUE KNITTING STITCHIONARY 1, 2 & 3 edited by Trisha Malcolm (Sixth & Spring $29.95). Knitters and family of knitters should not pass up these wonderful descriptions of stitch patterns for use in self-designed projects. The first book has detailed, simple-to-follow instructions for stitches. The second book demystifies cables, and the third book provides interesting variations of color work and ways to apply it in your knitting. These are invaluable resources to any knitter. ~ Jillian VEGAN CUPCAKES TAKE OVER THE WORLD: 75 Dairy-free recipes for cupcakes that rule by Isa Chandra Moskowitz, Terry Hope Romero, and Rebecca Bent (Marlowe & Co. $15.95). Yes, vegan cupcakes will take over the world! This charming little cookbook provides dozens of cupcake and icing recipes -- from basic chocolate and vanilla to the exotic hazelnut and green tea. Do not be fooled by the lack of butter or eggs. These cupcakes are moist and delicious, and the icings are creamy and full of taste. The Odyssey staff enjoyed them, and so will you.
