My Kitchen Wars – A Review
I recently received a digital copy of My Kitchen Wars for review from Open Road Integrated Media and NetGalley. Originally published in 1999, the new ebook edition makes My Kitchen Wars by Betty Fussell a much easier book to find. So what’s this book about anyway? A Synopsis – A survivor of the domestic revolutions that…

What is the worst book you’ve ever read? I try not to hate books, though I can often tell you things I don’t love about them. My biggest beef is with (usually self-publsihed) books that obviously haven’t been edited. I read a book a few months ago that took place in winter, and while the…

Do you have any signed books? I don’t currently own any books that are signed by the author, however several of the books in my collection are inscribed to me. And for some reason those inscriptions mean more to me than any author’s signature ever could. That isn’t to say that there are a few…

What was the last book you read? The last book I finished reading was The Hundred-Foot Journey by Robert C. Morias. I didn’t know this book existed until I saw trailers for the film. I always find books to be better than their movies- there’s only so much you can get into a 2-hour film…

What is your favorite book? Picking a favorite book has to be one of the hardest things ever. I know lots of people who would equate this question to choosing a favorite child, but since i don’t have any I can’t tell you if that’s true. More often than not, I’m likely to tell you…

I can’t believe it’s almost the end of May already. Where has this year gone? I feel like I’ve lost days or even weeks inside the pages of a book, but I’m not sure that’s a bad thing. I’m managing to knock a few more items off my checklist, and even get through my pile…
