And I thought of a novel that I actually HAVE read to recommend here: The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows. It's set in post-WWII England, and it's an epistolary novel. It's so sweet and endearing I wanted to go to Guernsey immediately so I could hug them all (even though they're fictional). Wonderfully heart-warming and cheesy, just like I like it. ;-) Speaking of blogger’s books, I really enjoyed Julie and Julia (and I’m SO looking forward to the movie!).

It comes in two parts, Hubris and Nemesis, and I've been meaning to read it for about six years. Not really in the same area as all the other books here, I know!

That said, here's one I think you'd like just for the photography of tasty business: Perfect Scoop by David Lebovitz. I know the library has it b/c I just had it checked out about a month ago. Another non-fiction food-related book that I enjoyed is In Defense of Food by Michael Pollan. Easy to read, very interesting without being too terribly preachy. Much more succinct and compelling than Omnivore's Dilemma. I'm reading the Kiki Strike books, which are great, but you already know that b/c I borrowed them from you! A novel I'm excited to start reading soon is The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe. Partly b/c the premise seems awesome (modern day grad student finds connection to Salem Witch Trials) and partly b/c I know the author! EK's best friend from childhood wrote it! Another novel I'm looking forward to reading is The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister. It just looks like it'll have amazing food descriptions. :-) I read too much non-fiction, and I often have stacks and stacks of cookbooks checked out from the library.

I would repaste it here, but it might be longer than this blog posting itself. If anyone is interested in the Complete Life and Times of Levar, though, let me know and I can forward it to you.

I'm sorry! I'm sure if I'd read the book I would feel differently. HUNGER GAMES! Sarah's already reviewed this book for the book club, so let me just add OMG WHAT SHE SAID. !!!!!!! I'm currently reading Jonathan Carroll's The Ghost in Love and it RULES. It's whimsical, weird, mysterious and is constantly leading me to pause and read a sentence aloud twice or thrice with my hand on my heart, fetching a big old sigh.
