Day 12: Snackin’ & Readin’: Eating and reading is not my thing. I just can’t bear seeing grease spots or food stains on my beautiful hardcovers. So I usually just drink tea or some kind of drink. I’m a bit obsessive about keeping my books in excellent condition. This picture I took is of one […]
It’s day 23 and we’re almost at the end of my 24 days of recommendations before. Today I’ve decided to talk about Guy Delisle’s graphic novel Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City.

Food glorious food! I picked up Relish: My Life in the Kitchen after discovering it on Goodreads. Being that I love food, recipes, fresh ingredients and cooking, I had to give this a try. It’s a graphic novel depicting the life of Lucy Knisley through food. She was lucky enough to be surrounded by a […]
