There are two books I want to tell you about. The first is a cook book I won from Chef DeHome (thanks again for the beautiful book!). It is Martha Stewart’s COOKIES and I love this book. There is a picture of each and every cookie featured in the book. If you are a fan of her Martha Stewart Living television program, you will remember watching some of these delectable confections come to life. If only there was smell-a-vision. At the end there is a section for wrapping your goodies to share with friends and family, all in Martha’s usual whimsical style of color co-ordinated boxes, tissue, and fabric. I received the book just prior to leaving for the holidays and it was packed and ready to be used at Grandma’s house. Turned out Grandma made snicker doodles and asked me to bake a cake for Christmas Eve, I read over the recipes during tea and cookie time. The bonus is not having to download each cookie recipe from the web, now they are all in full color in one place.
The second book is Julie Klam‘s You Had Me At Woof! about her coming into adulthood being led by her trusty companions, Boston Terriers. I saw this book at the store and Hubby caught me reading it. I mentioned that it seemed like a good read and it was about Bostons. Hubby took the very heavy hint and picked up a copy for Christmas. I finished the book in a matter of days, even with two kids and my own fur baby to take care of. If you love dogs, own a dog, or want a dog then read this book. I was laughing, crying, then laughing again by the end. I will avoid spoiling this quick read and just give it two paws up!
