Image Links to Challenge Site
How could I not sign up for a challenge in which there was a category which encourages Gluttony.
12 (or more) Food-themed Books? That’s too much fun to resist.
So it’s unsurprising that I find myself with more books in mind for this reading challenge than for any other I’ve joined this year.
Partly, I think that’s because there’s so much great writing being published on the subject.
And, as our host has said, it’s something we all have in common.
But my pressing desire to read more also reveals that I’ve been setting aside a number of these books for years, tempted by other reading feasts.
I’ll record the books read towards this challenge here, and I’ll be serving up reviews on the site regularly as well.
Raise a glass — or a plate — to The Foodie Reading Challenge 2011.
