Welcome to my November 2016 edition of My To Be Read List, hosted by Michelle @ Because Reading. This is a monthly meme where we offer up 3 choices from our TBR pile for our readers to pick from to help us make the super hard decision of "what do I read next?" a little easier and to whittle away at the ever growing TBR Mountain!
Theme: Food! Feel free to leave me a comment and tell me which you chose and why.
The poll will stay open through Friday 11/11 , and I'll update this post with the winning book on Saturday 11/12, then post a review on the last Saturday of the month, 11/26.
If you think this sounds fun and would like to join (the more the merrier, because we love voting!) please head on over to Because Reading where Michelle lays out the rules for us!
And the choices are...
From Goodreads: Never let them see you sweat-that's White House Assistant Chef Olivia Paras's motto, which is pretty hard to honor in the most important kitchen in the world. She's hell-bent on earning her dream job, Executive Chef. There's just one thing: her nemesis is vying for it, too. Well, that and the fact that an elusive assassin wants to see her fry. |
From Goodreads:
Granny was famous for her award-winning apple pies-and notorious for murdering her husband Jacob at their homestead in Julian, California. The only trouble is, Granny was framed, then murdered. For more than one hundred years, Granny's spirit has been searching for someone to help her see that justice is served—and she hits pay dirt when she pops in to a séance attended by her great-great-great-granddaughter, modern-day divorced mom Emma Whitecastle. Together, Emma and Granny Apples solve mysteries of the past—starting with Granny's own unjust murder rap in the final days of the California Gold Rush.

From Goodreads: Katie Lightfoot's tired of loafing around as the assistant manager of an Ohio bakery. So when her aunt Lucy and uncle Ben open a bakery in Savannah's quaint downtown district and ask Katie to join them, she enthusiastically agrees. While working at the Honeybee Bakery—named after Lucy's cat—Katie notices that her aunt is adding mysterious herbs to her recipes. Turns out these herbal enhancements aren't just tasty—Aunt Lucy is a witch and her recipes are actually spells! When a curmudgeonly customer is murdered outside the Honeybee Bakery, Uncle Ben becomes the prime suspect. With the help of handsome journalist Steve Dawes, charming firefighter Declan McCarthy, and a few spells, Katie and Aunt Lucy stir up some toil and trouble to clear Ben's name and find the real killer.. |

Brownies and Broomsticks sounds cute and I mean brownies and witches for the win!!
ReplyDeleteI voted for State of the Onion, I think I have that one on my wishlist! I like reading about characters who like to cook.
ReplyDeleteI voted for State of the Onion, it just looks fun. :)
ReplyDeleteNot going to lie, I based my choice on the cover. Who doesn't love brownies! :)
ReplyDeleteOoh! These all sound interesting. I voted for Brownies and Broomsticks--it is the one I'm most interested in and I plan on reading it sometime. I actually own Ghost a la Mode (got it as a free e-book a long, long time ago, but haven't read it yet). And I'm now adding State of the Onion to my TBR because, elusive assassin.
ReplyDeleteFood is always a good theme. :D
I voted for Brownies and Broomsticks because I just listened to the audio version and really enjoyed it. Plus, brownies are one of my favorite treats. And I love books about witches. :-) They all sound good though. I hope you enjoy whichever wins!
