1. 2-Year Blogiversary!



And what a busy book year it's been!

Now, since I only post my FoodFic musings biweekly, I don’t get to blog about every book I read. And, to be fair, not every read lends itself to a good FoodFic discussion, either because the food in the story doesn't jump out at me, or my schedule’s already full for the year, or a book’s subject matter is too dark or serious for me to lightly chat about here.

Anyway, these are most (I’m sure I’ve forgotten a few) of the books I read over the past year that weren’t reviewed here at BWATE?:

Laurie Halse Anderson – Speak
Margaret Atwood The Handmaid’s Tale
Edward Bloor – Taken
Geraldine Brooks – Year of Wonders
Harlan Coben – Tell No One
Robin CookCure
Patricia Cronwell – At Risk
James Dashner – The Kill Order
Jennifer Egan – A Visit from the Goon Squad
Myla Goldberg – The False Friend
Seth Grahame-Smith – Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
Kathleen Jeffrie Johnson – Gone
Chris Mitchell – Cast Member Confidential
Liane Moriarty – What Alice Forgot
James Patterson & Howard Roughan – Sail
Francine Prose – Touch
Delia Sherman – Changeling
Maureen Sherry – Walls Within Walls
Kathryn Stockett – The Help
Susan Vaught – Stormwitch
Paul Volponi – Hurricane Song
Rich Wallace – Dishes
Daisy Whitney – The Mockingbirds
Brenda Woods – A Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame 
Jacqueline Woodson – Behind You
Benjamin Zephaniah – Face
Markus Zusak – I Am the Messenger


Be sure to leave a comment with some of your best (or worst) reads of the last year, or let me know if you have specific books you'd like to see reviewed here over the next year!

2. Studio Musings

I'm terribly obsessed with mermaids and doodle them on a constant basis. I even completed a plywood painting of one for the art walk last year. Perhaps I'll do one each year until I have 12 and publish a calendar? I know this is quite a horrible photograph but this particular mermaid is on a canvas I'd never dream of scanning... it's just too big! I'll update you on this as I have time to work on it (which these days is less and less).

And alas... here is my favorite studio lamp - bought at a thrift store for $8!

* A side note for those who have been inquiring about this year's artwalk: I decided not to do it this year opting for a holiday with my family.

3. The Search

A new textbook shows that the Holocaust has come a long way as a topic to be freshly considered by a new generation of German teenagers.
