"At seven o'clock on a dreary evening in the Left Bank, Julia began roasting pigeons for the second time in her life."
Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell
This is the last of the four books I am reading for the Spice of Life Challenge. After the first 50 pages, I am torn between, "I love reading this book!" and pea-green envy that I didn't think of something like this myself.

I hadn't been interested in reading this book until you posted that opening sentence.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for Xmas because this book is on my list, and good lass that I am, I won't read it until then!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the envy of not thinking Julie's idea first!
I have mixed feelings whenever I think, I not only could have written this, I should have written it.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I like the sentence, but my kitchen skills wouldn't give me anything to back it up with for the rest of the book.

ReplyDeleteLOL, I know what you mean!
ReplyDeleteYou sure are making good progress! I'm excited to read this! (sooner, as it's calling my name....)
