| Xpress Reviews WEB-FIRST REVIEWS OF BOOKS AND MEDIA  In fiction, Elizabeth Berg's Night of Miracles is "a tale as delightful as a piece of [protagonist Lucille Howard's] famous caramel cake—airy and sweet, made with love, and lingering tastes of friendship and community." Andrew Gerle's Music Essentials for Singers and Actors: Fundamentals of Notation, Sight-Singing, and Music Theory is one of two starred nonfiction titles this week. "Not just for professionals; highly recommended for any library, public or academic (including high school) where singers/actors flock." Star Trek: The Next Generation—Mirror Broken and Star Trek: The Next Generation—Through the Mirror by David and Scott Tipton with illustrations by Marcus To and others, are two of four starred graphic novels this week. "Must-reads for any fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation and alternate- or mirror-universe story lines." And in e-originals, Grace Burrowes's "feel-good Christmas novella" Patience for Christmas "treads familiar ground, while the unexpected premise of a retiring courtesan as prodigal daughter in Respect for Christmas is refreshing, even if the ending is a bit tidy."
