Spent part of 4th of July vacation trip to Nashville at the Hot Chicken Festival and couldn‘t pass up the opportunity to pick up a couple books from the local Vanderbilt Press.

pickA fascinating look at how a local dish becomes an international sensation, it‘s origins, and the impact that a city‘s racial divisions can have on the perception of history. Well researched and personal, this gem does what the best of #nonfiction does-ensure that the reader sees both the overarching narrative and the individual perspectives to experience the full story. And it really makes you crave hot chicken! #BookspinBingo @TheAromaofBooks
Ebook, Zootopia, 1 dog under the blanket, and a 5 year old with covid. 🤦🏼♀️ Quarantined downstairs at my parents while my dad, also positive, quarantines upstairs and my mom, negative, has run of the upstairs.
#LMPBC #groupS13 6 options for Southern lit! I will tag as many as I can in comments Hot Hot Chicken takes place in TN and is nonfic.
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clever cover/title. While this does center around the Prince‘s Hot Chicken story, it‘s about 2/3 socioeconomic history of Nashville and it‘s post civil war development. Lots of details, but it‘s downright fascinating. That said, if you‘re not a Nashville native - or a transplant like me - I‘m not sure how much this will appeal. Regardless, trying to solve the mystery of just who the scorned woman was in the Prince‘s origin story was fun.
It‘s a beautiful day in middle tennessee! Still plugging away on this book 😅 while my boys play. My favorite kind of morning!
Attempting to grab a few pages while my boys swim with their cousins at my folks‘ house. This book is taking me forever. It‘s very detailed and slow, but an interesting history. 🔥🐔🍽
A little extra soccer practice for the 9 year old + a few friends = bonus reading time for mom. 🙌🏼
so-soI chickened out this weekend. The title on the left is probably mostly of interest to people from Nashville. It‘s been interesting to hear the discussions lately of cooking, and food, and when the line to cultural appropriation somehow gets crossed…
Yay! My Independent Bookstore Day goodies just arrived. Showing some Nashville pride with my book selections. 🤩 The Bookshop in East Nashville is the cutest little shop with amazing curation. A must-visit if you‘re ever in Music City. 🪕
