38:365

The first post of several....at least I'm hoping.

This is what I'm reading. "A Homemade Life" by Molly Wizenberg.

It's a wonderful little book, filled with recipes and a family story to go with each one. Why would you want to read a book about recipes? It's more than that. Really. I am almost finished, and am loving it. I laughed, I cried..... and I now have a recipe for chocolate cake that's perfect for Valentine's Day.

 

I am on a quest. A mission if you will. I want to read more. My goal is one book per week (or two weeks, realistically). But my other obsession these days is to find out what everyone else is reading. So my plan is this... I will post the books that I'm reading here and there throughout my 365. But what I really want to know from all you other book readers out there is what are YOU reading??? Or weigh in and tell me if you liked the book that I'm reading, or tell me what I really should be reading, or just stop and say 'Hi'. I will enjoy the visit either way. Let's see how impossibly big I can make my stack and list of books-to-be-read.
