Thanksgiving Book Feast Giveaway!

We all love yummy food, especially when it is cooked with time and care and excellent ingredients. And what is even better is when those recipes come from cookbooks that make you want to just cook food for your family  all day long!

I have two of those type of cookbooks to offer to you my reader. Hachette has offered me three sets of these two cookbooks for a giveaway. Yes that's right! Each of three winners will get BOTH cookbooks, both. That is a good thing because after looking though mine I have no idea which I would have told you to choose over the other, although chocolate does always win out over actual meals for me- so that would probably be my choice.

These are the books:

How to Roast a Lamb: Greek Classic Cooking By Michael Psilakis, Barbara Kafka

Chocolate: A Love Story: 65 Chocolate Dessert Recipes from Max Brenner's Private Collection By Max Brenner, Yonatan Factor

Franny and Zooey

Oh, my. If you have not read this book: Franny and Zooey by JD Salinger, you are completely missing out. READ IT. Not for me, for you. Even if you have read Salinger before...that is not a valid excuse, you will not encounter an even-close-to-decent-excuse, so give up. I promise that you will like it, or even love it...

this is not a choice...it is a "must read or your head will pop off kind of book"!

So I guess you know what you must do now.

let's not test it.

tell me what you think, maybe some of you have read it already?

Karma and Other Stories


Karma and Other Stories by Rishi Reddi

This is a book of short stories that I loved. It is about slightly interlocking stories about new beginnings, transitions, cultures clashing and living life.
I loved most of the stories, and really liked the rest. Every time one was over I was wanting to know more about the characters! This is a great book. Reminds me of Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri, which won the Pulitzer Prize if you have not read that one I highly recommend that one too.

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle


I just started reading this book, it is for anyone interested in what they are eating, living simply, subsistence farming, choosing to buy locally...etc...

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver is about one author's journey along "a year of food life", the choices her family made and why they did it. I have just started it and really, really like it. I can relate to a ton of things she talks about.

have any of you read it?! what did you think?

oh, if not...you should.
