Nothing to See Here
Why I picked it up? I found this book on a friend’s bookshelf. She has a great collection of second hand books that is always worth a look when I stay. The cover certainly caught my eye. Turns out that Nothing to See Here is about two kids who catch on fire when they are stressed or angry.

Positive Persian Cuisine
Feeling at a loss on how to endure current world events, I’ve decided to do some cooking as a form of protest. I found this cookbook, Sirocco, at the Museum of Food and Drink (MOFAD) in New York City. The author, Sabrina Ghayour, is an award-winning British-Iranian chef. She specializes in Persian and Middle Eastern cuisine.
I made three recipes - to a varying degree of success. However, all three dishes have tremendous flavor.
Olive Kitteridge
Why I picked it up? Elizabeth Strout won the Pulitzer Prize for her novel Oliver Kitteridge in 2009. The rich inner lives of the citizens of Crosby, Maine are told in and around the title character, Olive Kitteridge.
