The Truth About Dating, Love, and Just Being Friends, by Chad Eastham
You guys can read all about this one here.
Save the Date, by Jenny B. Jones
Okay, I really wish I had written a review about Save the Date like I intended to. I was so excited about this book! Jenny B. Jones has turned out to be one of my favorite authors. Not only is she ridiculously hilarious, but apparently she also has some serious snow dancing skills. I was hoping that Save the Date would live up to her other wonderful books, and it definitely did. I loved the plot, the humor, Lucy's love for vintageness, the theme that everyone can relate to, and especially the characters of Clare and Julian. So now I have to go reread Just Between You and Me and the Charmed Life series and anxiously await her next book. :)
My Life in France, by Julia Child

I especially loved the first half- with her detailed reflections of her beloved France. And the food...it seemed that I always ended up reading this book close to a meal time, and her descriptions made me hungry (most of them, anyway :). The second half lags a little as she writes about writing the famous cookbooks, but you have to appreciate the detail and devotion she showed in making the books perfect (sometimes testing out recipes a dozen times just to be sure!).
I loved reading about her relationship with her husband, Paul. Their relationship seemed so comfortable and their love for each other comes across beautifully. And his gorgeous photographs are scattered throughout the book, adding to her descriptions. In short, this book gave me information about France, a peek into Julia Child's fascinating life, and *gasp* more interest in and appreciation for cooking.
Well, that's it for January. I guess in a couple of weeks it'll be time for the February list! :)
Until next time,

I just read The Silent Governess as well. Such a great book! Now I'm reading another Julie Klassen book, Lady of Milkweed Manor.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are still going to do lengthier reviews of some books. :) But this type of post is a great idea, making sure that all the bases get covered! And thanks for linking to my review of Governess, you're awesome. :)
