The Mysterious Benedict Society by Trenton Lee Stewart. I’ve had my eye on this title for quite some time. Every time I went to the library, it was never checked in. Hmmm. That’s a good sign the kids like it, no? Finally I got smart and put in a request. Now I see why it’s popular – it’s a fun fiction selection that will appeal to both boys and girls. When I’m finished with the other books in the series, I’ll say more.
Chocolate (A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light) by Mort Rosenblum. The history of food makes for fascinating reading. This year I’ve consumed (oh, pun!) Starbucked (A Double Tall of Caffeine, Commerce and Culture) by Taylor Clark and The United States of Arugula (How We Became a Gourmet Nation) by David Kamp.
