We’re nearing the end of the year, and the end of my 75 books by female authors challenge is in sight (only nine left!), so it’s important to start thinking about what we’re going to read next year… At the beginning of the year, I naively assumed that after reading only women, the next year…

So this post is late, obviously. I haven’t been keeping up with my baking for bookworms posts very well, even though they’re one of my favorite features. But I’m working on getting everything back on track. If you have a book you want me to cook or bake from, be sure to leave it in…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the very creative people over at The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic was to come up with a list of things loosely related to Thanksgiving (like ten authors or books we’re grateful for), but I wanted to do something a little bit…
