What am I reading?

All of this foodie exploration has led me to add tons of memoirs about chefs, food writers, food and plants onto my goodreads list. If you are a book addict like me, you should be on there. Stop reading my blog now and sign up. www.goodreads.com. I tend to just give things a star rating, but I love talking books so you could also email me at eyemheer2@gmail.com if you want to share books or are interested in a recommendation.

I am currently reading My Life in France by Julia Child. It is rather inspiring. She didn't really become the Julia child we all know until she was in her 40s. It is never too late to be who you want to be.

Plus I have a case of wanderlust and her descriptions of France, the markets, food, and people are pretty transportive. Unfortunately this book is making me hungry mid commute where there is absolutely nothing I can do about it.

My goal again this year is to read less, but I am 6 books in in 4 months. I have liked so far Waterlily by Ella Cora Deloria and after never having read Truman Capote I devoured 2 of his books back to back, Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood. Both were great, but Tiffany's is definitely darker as a book.
