Whoa! That seems like a long list of books to me! Which books would you recommend?
ReplyDeleteall were good Genki, but my favorite was "Dirty Sugar Cookies" because the author's childhood memories of food reminded me of some of mine.

A good list. I read several of these myself. Like Water for Chocolate is a favorite of mine that I am rereading and hosting as part of Cook the Books in Feb/March. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI also watched the movie of "like water for chocolate" on you tube, Debinhawaii, great story!

I'm ashamed to say I read very little this year. I shall make more effort this year. A friend has just recommended Crossing to Safety by Wallace Stegner. I will borrow it from the library.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get to read and do more this year Barbara :) You deserve all the best!
ReplyDeleteTake care.
