5 Books I've read recently and a few thoughts that I had about them. What's included: a debut mystery novel from a local author, a palette-cleansing, cheap thrill, a cathartic and emotional memoir, a hilarious family drama that revolves around the pitfalls of social media, and another that I haven't finished reading yet!
These are a few of my go-to cookbooks; the ones I reach for most often. The ones with dog eared pages, notes in the margins, and tomato sauce stains. There's something romantic about a tangible recipe book and these are my favourite to pore over.
