The Oh She Glows Cookbook by Angela Liddon

by 1 Comment

I really feel like I’ve looked through The Oh She Glows Cookbook before, but I can’t find it in my review history. I know I have one of the follow-up books, which might be why this one feels so familiar, but I’m just not sure. It’s from 2014 so the other alternative is that most of the contents has … [Read more]

The Art of Mixology: Mocktails by Parragon Books

by 2 Comments

I present a unicorn: a specialty cookbook that has barely any hard to find ingredients and not too many single use specialty items (as in, specialty thing to acquire, but only use tiny bit in one recipe).

Volumes 19-21 finish … [Read more]

“The trouble with believing things is that they have an annoying habit of turning out not to be true”

The October Girl: Book One by Matthew Dow Smith

by Leave a Comment

I first heard of The October Girl at an event at my local indie bookstore. They were booktalking recent and soon-to-be published books and this was one of them. I enjoy reading a graphic novel from time to time and the plot seemed interesting too. Autumn Ackerman is about to graduate high school … [Read more]
