Books

Ever since I can remember, it has always been a goal of mine to have my own “library” some day. In other words, a room with enough bookshelves to house the plenitude of reading material I have collected over the years. Even though that dream has yet to become a reality, it hasn’t stopped me from buying (and piling up!) new books to read. I’ve decided that it’s time to share the wealth, and have created this page as a reference for all of my readers. Here you’ll find reviews of all the books I read and share on the blog.

In addition, I invite you to join my Food Blogger Book Club for more ideas on great reads!
