I have been trying to be self-disciplined and not sign up for more challenges, but when one comes along that's right in line with something I've been thinking about doing already, I allow myself to go for it! This challenge is one of them.
I'm choosing the "Sampler" option of the challenge--choosing four books in four different categories. Here are the categories, and my probable choices:
Cookbooks Washoku: Recipes from the Japanese Home Kitchen by Elizabeth Andoh (This is actually part of another project I've joined in on--"Washoku Warriors" hosted by La Fuji Mama, in which we will try a new recipe from the cook book each month.)
Non-fiction I haven't decided this one yet, although I've got my eye on a few.
Memoirs, autobiographies or essays Animal, Vegetable Miracle: A Year of Food Life by Barbara Kingsolver (I've wanted to read this for a while even though I've heard it's preachy. I could probably use a good scolding when it comes to my food consumption)
Fiction: The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister (I received this from a giveaway a few months ago and have heard great reviews.)
As usual, I will keep track of my progress in the right sidebar.

Shelley I see your list of non fiction reads is empty.I want to suggest No Room For Doubt by Angela Dove.It is excellent and I also have an award for you at my blog.Come on over!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the challenge! Looks like a good list. I'm intrigued by the Japanese cookbook. I don't know anything about cooking Japanese food!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your reads!
The challenge button alone is enough to make me want to join!
ReplyDeleteI know, I know, I'm doing it again. You've got another award on my blog, here. This time it was for creativity and I just couldn't leave you out with all those projects you do! Scroll to the bottom of the post. Sorry, I didn't want to make a whole new post just for the award. :)
ReplyDeleteIf you are a fan of Kingsolver's other works, you'll really like Animal, Vegetable, Miracle. I didn't find it preachy at all. She has some neat stories in that book. It's one of my top 10 faves of all time.
ReplyDeleteI love this challenge. I'm halfway through my second book of four, but now I wish I had signed on to read 8 because I like it so much.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blog hiatus!
