Lately, I’ve stumbled upon some really great reads.
First let’s get it out of the way that I am a library book gal to the core. I love going to the library, using the computer catalog and switching out books every few weeks or month.
I know that these things called eBooks exist, but I just can’t give up my real, hard-back books. Sorry, technologically advanced people, but studying abroad at Oxford basically ruined me to all things library/book/cool old things.
It should also be addressed that since I’m a library girl, I often can’t get my hands on any new or trendy books (people snatch them up like crazy these days), so I often read books that aren’t as new, or sometimes I have to settle for large print.
I don’t mind how or where you read these books, but you should give them a shot!
Delicious
If you’re a foodie, you’re going to love this one. It’s by former famous food editor, Ruth Reichl, and it’s got a lot of heart and food combined in a lovely novel.
Baking Cakes in Kigali
I just ran across this book in the catalog at the library, and knew that this one was for me. It’s a little love, a little history and a lot of beautiful African cultural gems.
No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency
Since I’ve been reminded of how much I love books with African women as main characters, I’ve got to mention this series. It’s one of my favorites and combines my love of books with great relationship and cultural stories along with fun little detective stories.
