        I love cookbooks! I seriously have an obsession with them. I wish I could remember to use them more often, though. Yay, for your ARCS! I never heard of Wish, and I have yet to start the Bloodline's series, I do own the first book, so that counts for something, lol. Have a great week!!

        Flower jealousy! (pouts) Nobody loves me...

        Have you never read To Kill A Mockingbird before? I’m surprised. I thought everyone was required to read it in high school. It was practically beaten to death and the shoved down our throats for us.

        If you’ve never ruined a copper pot by forgetting it on the stove, then you cook just fine.

          HA! lol maybe my cooking isn't that bad after all!

          And yes...this is my first read of To Kill a Mockingbird (I've never re-read anything ever) It was not required reading in any of my high school or college classes!
