If you are a history buff, a food buff or (ideally) both, then you have to read A History of the World in Ten Dinners: 2000 Years, 100 Recipes. This book is so well-organized and natural that I’m not sure if I should say that it’s a food book with history or a history book with food. I was this many days old when I learned about Edible History. Victoria Flexner and Jay Reifel host … Continue reading A History of the World in Ten Dinners by Victoria Flexner and Jay Reifel →
Welcome back to Wednesday Links! March is turning out to be a busy month for me, especially with the lead up to my international vacation next month.

Do not be fooled by this cover. The cover says, ‘Look at me and my whimsy! My light frolic through life!’ No, dear reader, this is not light. This is a book about persevering through tough times. The title should have been a clue for me. A phoenix doesn’t arise from a bouquet of flowers, after all. The book is set in 1666. Plague had ravaged London the previous year and reading the characters’ reflections … Continue reading The Phoenix Bride by Natasha Siegel →

This HaBO is from Lori, who wants to find this romance: I read this book in the late 70s or 80s and I’m thinking it was a Harlequin. A man is on the run (maybe from the FBI) and he kidnaps a woman who suffers from ulcers. Milk toast is the only thing that settles her stomach. He escapes with the woman by rafting through the Grand Canyon, where she has a change of heart. … Continue reading HaBO: Milk Toast →
RECOMMENDED: The Bride Test by Helen Hoang is $1.99! I’m hoping this isn’t a deal leftover from the weekend. I loved this book so much and gave it an A-:
The Bride Test is so beautiful and Hoang was right when she said it was impossible not to love Esme. She’s tenacious and battles against her fear of failure, of judgement, and of her own self-doubt, to become this confident and self-assured woman. This Bride Test has only solidified my love for Hoang’s romances; they are truly a gift to the genre.
