November Booklist

1. The Martian, Andy Weir

I sped through this one in two days - easily the fastest I've read a fiction book in more than a year. Engaging, suspenseful, and pretty close to plausible.

2. An Everlasting Meal, Tamar Adler

A call to change how you think about food - cloaked in some of the most beautiful prose I've encountered in food writing.

I read the first chapter of An Everlasting Meal a year or two ago and thought it was beautiful! I'm not sure it's quite as practical as it believes itself to be, but that's forgivable since it's so lovely.

That's a really good way to describe it. :)

I want to read Pioneer Girl so badly! I knew I'd be at the end fo an insanely long wait-list if I put it on hold at the library right away, and I wasn't sure I'd be free to read it whenever it finally came in, so I decided to wait a bit. Sooo going to read it soon! :)
really glad to hear your review, too! As you mentioned, some of the reviews had me afraid that it would be shattering and I wouldn't be able to read the Little House books again... but since I forever believ ein historical accuracy, lol, I *knew* I still had to read it. ;)

Oh, I'm glad Pioneer Girl is good! That's what we're getting my aunt for Christmas!
