Cookbooks


It's important to read all sorts of books from all different genres. One of my favorite non-fiction books are COOKBOOKS. I do a lot of cooking, I don't even usually use recipes, but I love to read recipes. I love to read how a chef came up with their ideas. Sometimes cookbooks include stories of families eating special meals together. The cookbooks I choose usually have beautiful pictures in them as well. This cookbook is the one I've purchased most recently. It has great menus and food items. I also love the stories she tells and the beautiful pictures. If you're in the mood to read something a little different, why not a cookbook? Bon Apetit!

The Nightmare Hour


If you're in the mood for a little mystery and a little scare, I've got a great book for you. Nightmare Hour by R.L. Stine. This is a great book if you're in the mood for a quick read because each chapter is actually a short story. Perfect amount to read just before bed . . . or maybe not . . . My favorite story is "I'm not Martin" It's about a little boy going into the hospital for a quick surgery and ends up facing his own nightmare!

I would recommend this book for 5th grade and up. The stories can be really scary so proceed with caution!!
