review 1: What a great find. Thanks to my friend Susan for recommending this to me. I''m not sure if this is always a freebie on Kindle, but for now it's free and it's totally worth the download.This book starts off with a foreword from author Amanda Hocking, and in it she discusses her appreciation for book bloggers and all that they do to help sell her books. I thought that was nice of her.Then it moves on to the book reviews and each one posts a synopsis of a book followed by a short clip of a review. A link is provided to the reviewer's blog for a full detailed review. Next, the recipes come in. Authors of the books provided cute little, simple recipes that tie into their books. Some of them look really yummy!This book was Christy Dorrity's idea to compile a group of reviews and... more recipes together, and I think it's great that she worked with bloggers and authors to create something truly unique and so fun!I am definitely going to try the "Fairy Touched Calico Brownies", but the best part of this book was that it gave me several books to add to my never ending tbr list.
review 2: What do books and food and blogging have in common? Well, Tristi, of course! And so what better place to find a review of The 2011 Book Blogger's Cookbook than here? There are other sites reviewing it, and doing a mighty fine job of it, and I think it makes total sense that I should be included on that list. Seriously, my middle name is BooksandBlogsandFood. But it was hard to fit on a birth certificate, so my mom decided to cut her losses and use Paige instead.But I digress.The 2011 Book Blogger's Cookbook is a compilation of recipes of foods mentioned in books that have recently been published by some of the most exciting up-and-coming authors I've seen for a long time. Compiler Christy Dorrity had a unique idea - she found book bloggers who had reviewed those books, asked their permission to quote the review, and then partnered the review with the recipe and a bit about the book. What a great way to join together the things that feed our bodies with the things that feed our minds.You might notice as you flip through the book that two of the quotes are from me. That was a lot of fun. It was also fun to read the other reviews and then to salivate over the recipes. Yes, salivating can be fun.If you like books, if you like to eat, if you like eating while you read, this book is a must-have. less
