I promise that I don't only read, cook & eat!! I did finish a diy decorating project that I hope to blog about later today, but first I finished another book!
This is one by another of my FAVORITE authors Chris Bohjalian! Now this book, Idyll Banter, is not like a typical Chris Bohjalian fiction book. This book is a collection of his newspaper columns from the Burlington Free Press newspaper. To put it right out there... I love it!!
Now I was born in State College, Pennsylvania (no I am not switching the topic of this post over to the Penn State/Joe Paterno issue, even though I definitely have my opinions about the whole thing). We moved from PA when I was still a baby, and besides from a trip last year to New York for 4 days, I have spent NO time in the Northwest.
This book describes a lot of small town life in Vermont and after reading it, I am ready to move there!! It sounds perfect for a shy, homebody like me!!!
Now the first grouping of columns was a little slow as it talked a lot about farming and cows, which isn't really isn't my biggest interest, but starting with the next grouping of columns it was wonderful and a very quick read! I highly recommend this book to everyone!!!
Hey Jenny! I love book recommendations. Thanks! I look forward to seeing what you are reading!
