I am back at work this week and therefore have less time to read. Oh how I wish I could sit quietly for a couple of hours and enjoy the last section of the Crazy Rich Asian trilogy!
When I come home, I am able to put my feet up for about half an hour and read with a warm cup of tea. This week I have been taking out the last of the cookies that my friend baked and gifted me for Christmas.
My friend has been trying out new recipes and adapting them to find that spot where a cookie is not too sweet. I love her new shortbread recipe with just a hint of sweetness. I find the shop bought cookies are excessively sweet and the sugar taste overwhelms the other flavours in the biscuit. Her recipe for white chocolate, cranberry and amaretto shortbread looks so easy to make. (It is even easier if I get her to bake me some more 🙂 )
My friend has recently started her YouTube channel Under 300 Calories. Head on over and see if there are any of her recipes take your fancy. And while you do that, I will continue reading the third novel in the Crazy Rich Asians trilogy by Kevin Kwan, Rich People Problems.

You read the most of anyone I know. Our book club discussed The Weight of Ink by Rachel Kadish last night. Have a good new term

I am definitely a bookworm Ruth, and have been since a child. Now my children are teens and don’t need me so much, I have time to do something I love.

I would imagine it is a lot more fun having rich people problems than poor people problems.

I think it would be. The title reflects a bit of the snarky humour found in the book.

Two things: first, I follow you now and look forward to seeing what you have going on in 2019 for us! Second, I am currently reading a piece of fiction by the iconic “IT” girl of the 70’s, Eve Babitz. Here is a look at her work and a new biography of her – really good! – https://johnrieber.com/2019/01/08/70s-icon-eve-babitz-is-once-again-hollywoods-it-girl-new-biography-and-all-of-her-books-are-out/

Thank you for the follow – I look forward to getting to know you.
Eve Babitz was definitely a rebel of her time – the biography must be very interesting.

That recipe looks delicious! Also, I’m looking for a book to start the year off with. How’s the Crazy Rich Asian trilogy?

I loved it and will be putting up my reviews of each novel up on my blog this week. It is a humorous novel that refers to the relationships found within families.
