    I got a bunch of cookbooks for Christmas!

    I love collecting cookbooks. With current phone technology I even collect cookbooks in other languages and translate them into English using Google Translate and stuff.

    Whenever people go to other countries, that’s usually what I ask to bring back; a local cookbook in the native language of the region.

      I also got my husband some cookbooks for Christmas, by the southern chef Nathalie Dupree, who we met and is a very funny person.

    I bought my husband the Nick Cave and Séan O’Hagan book Faith, Hope and Carnage. I hope he likes it.

    I’ve been rereading via Cloudlibrary the Patrick Kenzie and Angela Gennaro mystery series by Dennis Lehane. They’re a bit dated but still really dark and gritty and good.

    I bought my son 5 different Batman books and we have been reading them together. Lots of fun. I also finally bought Completely Mad (a history of Mad magazine) after wanting to read it for several years so that is on its way.

    I got the Hobbit in Latin. I don’t know latin and have never had any desire to learn it…until now.
