Book Review: VEGAN PLANET


Robin Robertson’s Vegan Planet has long been a staple in our house. No matter what kind of food we feel like, I am sure to find a recipe in that colossal, comprehensive cookbook. In the mood for Chinese? Try the To-Fu Yung. Indian? Make Robin's Checkpeas Vindaloo.

The Memory of Borrowed Books by Meg  Anderson

Well, this was rather disappointing. The description made it seem that this book would be about getting into the memories/stories that had borrowed library books but it was mainly focused on a couple of people that the librarian knew. None of the cha ...more

Come on. What happened to the master storytelling in Life of Pi. This reminded me of Sophie's World and Mona's Eyes where we learn about something as it is taught to a child. Like both of those, this quickly becomes a tedious lecture rather than a bo ...more

I found the first half of the book an interesting peek into the author's mind connecting her thoughts to her various books, but the second half -- the blow by blow of her winter garden -- got pretty tedious--though her mirror setup was pretty cool! ...more

This was so hard to read, especially as a woman. Epstein and Maxwell were so expert at choosing and grooming their victims, it is just terrifying as what happened to her, I imagine could just as easily happened to me or my daughters. The whole story ...more
