Definitely read Hedgehog first! Gourmet Rhapsody is very good, but not as wonderful as Hedgehog.

I know plenty of people that didn’t like it. It was just one of those books that resonated with me- and I can even verbalize why.

I didn’t know anything going into it and was expecting a light, quick read, so I think I just wasn’t in the right frame of mind. It sounds like I should give it another shot.

I read Between the World and Me for Nonfiction November and it is amazing!

I have it around here somewhere, and most recently, I bought her book Gourmet Rhapsody. I hope I enjoy them both as much as you did Hedgehog!

I’m making a 2018 goal- drinks with Eva in Vancouver. It WILL happen!

Forty Rooms is…sigh. But I do know people who didn’t love it the way I did.

Thank you so much for the kind words! You’re my hero for getting out and getting it done when I don’t really want to.

But now I can’t think of which particular titles I’m thankful for …. that will pop into my head another day. Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Ahhh…such a delight. Also, Forty Rooms?! I’m not sure why I don’t remember seeing your post on this one, but I’m adding it to my list now, for sure! I hope you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday; I am thankful for you and your gorgeous writing, Catherine (and all of the books you encourage me to read)!

Happy Thanksgiving!
