I appreciate your recommendations, which all sound excellent. Of course I’m always drawn to a book with a good food angle!
The toasty looks delicious! I don’t believe they’re served in California. It seems similar to a grilled cheese sandwich (with added veggies!) or perhaps a panini (which requires a special press). Anyway it looks yummy!
PS: I read your blog also and I’m in the camp of those who don’t feel compelled to finish a book I don’t like. However there are some I’ve felt I ought to read that I gave up on because they were too demanding--like Moby Dick. I’m ashamed to say I began the famous whale tale several times, and, while I appreciated the writing, story, etc., I gave up after several chapters. It’s still on my TBR list though. I wonder if you’ve had that experience with a book--maybe a classic--that you couldn’t get through.
My Christmas gift list (for myself 😆) has just got longer!
Brilliant post and blog post too, Marg. Those free Kindle extracts make a huge difference when it comes to choosing a book to buy.
(I had no idea goodreads is Bezos' 😑)

Read and loved all of those books which would also top my list for 2022. You should have had the treacle tart for dessert after the toastie!
