pickI just love children books about food. This is about Alice Waters growing up loving all different types of food and using that love to get the restaurant she wanted and to teach children about the same love of food. Cute story and wonderful graphics.
My husband & I didn‘t exchange gifts since we decided we‘d rather use that money to take a mini vacation (sans kids). Although I did order myself 2 books I‘ve really wanted to read.
pickThis is a ya book, but there is so much in here I didn‘t know before. Like high fives were the accidental invention of an American gay baseball player Glenn Burke.
To start tomorrow.
pickThis is a very interesting non-fictional overview over Anne‘s life. Because I only watched the different semi-ficituonal series about Henry VIII‘s life, I never realized it took Anne eight years to be married ti the king. On TV it always happens in a shorter amount of time. And in the end she was only married to hin for three years. Seems like the moment he actually had her, he lost interest.
I am cutting down on buying new books, but it's my birthday and there is the first ever Baldwin biography out. I cannot believe we have gone this long without a major biography on his amazing life.
It is 700pgs and I plan on reading it next year when I tackle his less famous works.
That feeling when the book you're reading references the next in your stack ...
I don't remember hearing that d'Alembert's birth mother was Mme de Tencin, but if I did it didn't stick with me because who the heck is Claudette de Tencin? I only encountered her earlier this year through her proto-gothic Memoirs of the Count of Comminges -- and my next read, her historical novel “The Siege of Calais.“
In Aczel's story she does not seem pleasant
