I like the idea of an illustrated biography, and the one with the recipes....
ReplyDeleteHi Gilion,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great mix of storylines this week, although like Elizabeth, I was also captivated by the powerful cover art of 'Where The Wind Dreams Of Staying'.
Whilst I don't really drink and a Bloody Mary would be my worst nightmare of a cocktail, the book itself sounds hilarious and definitely one to be read when you have had one or two of the offending beverages :)
Enjoy all your new finds :)
