Not the usual genre I pick up, but it was a quick, easy read.

Much more than I expected, in a good way. Delicious descriptions of food combined with the difficulties and loneliness of being an American living in France, gives this memoir depth.

Vacation book #4

Clwojick Oh my gosh! I totally forgot those candies existed! I used to eat those like crazy as a kid, but I haven‘t seen them in a couple decades. The strawberry ones were so good too. Over here drooling now. 😅 1mo
Clwojick Just checked Amazon, and they‘re $18 for 3 rolls or $40 for a 6oz bag! Whyyyy. 😳😳😳 1mo
LaurenAsh @Clwojick Right! I stumbled across them at a dollar store and grabbed a couple of packs, strawberry included. I can't believe they're so expensive on Amazon! 😫 1mo
Clwojick I‘m going to be hounding all the weird hole-in-the-wall stores for them now! 😂 1mo

I can't find the book we read, but why not celebrate multiple donut books! We read so many children's books in my house that I would never be able to keep up with them on here, but this book is soooo cool and made me sooo hungry for a pink frosted donut with sprinkles.

It's been a while since I picked up and read some short stories but this was a wonderful reintroduction. The title story is heartbreaking.

I did NOT end up agreeing with the review someone left in the title pages (previous post). In fact, I really liked this book and I was a little sad it isn't part of a series.

6 years...Wow! I tend to go through periods where I'm very active here and then trail off a little depending on my life, 😆but whenever I pop in here I'm met with, hands down, the best community (not to mention, the best content)!

Tagging the book I'm currently reading since I didn't get around to posting about it yet!
