Can’t eat foods with a kick? Then kick back and read about it!

No Kimchi for Me by Aram Kim

Babies Can’t Eat Kimchee by Nancy Patz

by Leave a Comment

I am not a fan of spicy foods. Or should say, they are not a fan of me. Therefore, I get my “kick” reading books about spicy foods. Thankfully due to the plethora of books out there, you can find almost any food you want. And two of these books I happened to find dealt with kimchi. A food I have wanted to try but know would do more than try me! Therefore, I will stick with the safe bet and keep reading. The book […]

More H-Mart, Less Crying

Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner

by Leave a Comment

Bingo 6: Libations I’m reasonably sure I heard about Crying in H-Mart during an NPR interview with the author. It sounded pretty interesting and food-focused. Then after picking it up, with the red cover with a picture of noodles between chopsticks, I read the first essay, and then actually went to the nearest H-Mart (about an hour away as it turned out). The author’s H-Mart is quite different. I’m not complaining about that, but it does get to the incredibly personal nature of the book; […]

When life gives you avocados, make guacamole.

Guacamole: Un poema para cocinar / A Cooking Poem by Jorge Argueta

by 2 Comments

cbr13bingo Libations (a giant avocado on the cover with the dish of guacamole as well)   Guacamole: Un poema para cocinar / A Cooking Poem  is a delightful book length poem and a tribute to the avocado and the guacamole the young narrator loves to make. It is funny, sweet, and informative. The version of Jorge Argueta’s picture book I read was bilingual, therefore, allowing you to read in both English and Spanish. (Or as I did, try and figure out what words were which as […]

cbr13bingo Travel (they travel to a magical world and I’d like to see a mermaid-cat, a fairy bunny and a lava dog!) “Dear Representative of this particular company. Would you be so kind as to send me these three reader copies of these books? Of course, if you cannot I would prefer book X as my first choice.” Or something like that was the email I sent to a rep of a publisher. I had asked for three books. And Cat & Cat V01 Adventures […]

I have never loved garlic so much in my life!!!!!

Garlic and the Vampire by Bree Paulsen

cbr13bingo The Wilds  This is one of the DARNDEST CUTEST BOOKS I HAVE READ THIS YEAR. I picked Garlic and the Vampire up July 13, 2021 and would have read the entire thing right then and there if I had not been at work.  I had read a bit about it and thought it sounded cute but was hoping it would live up to the hype of the pre-publication reviews, the promotions, and the fact it just sounded so darn good (after all, hype something […]
