Nope, I cannot for the life of me think of anything more luxurious! 💖
I'm currently reading this book, and it's everything that I want in a book. Good writing, a subject that I know a little about, an autobiography with a little bit of timeline jumping ... and recipes. Lots of lovely recipes.
Oh, and it has two of it's own built-in ribbon style book marks ... not many books have that these days!!
The food is so well described that I keep finding my self hungry and wanting to jump up and make something fresh and tasty. I think my next read will have to be a diet book. 😄
What are you reading at the moment?

I shall investigate!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed her husbands first book not not the next.
I'm reading the latest Rachel Hore - The Hidden Years
I didn't realise that her husband had written any books, after a trip over to Amazon to read about them and read the reviews you can guess what I've done can't you ... :-)
DeleteI'd have to convert the coffee to tea and add, in the winter, curling up in front of a log fire :-) Fiona x
ReplyDeleteIt's usually me converting tea to coffee in these memes. :-)
DeleteI’m reading exactly the same one. Heather
ReplyDeleteOh, what a happy coincidence. :-)
DeleteI love books with their own bookmarks. Currently re-reading The Children of the New Forest - which has been on my shelf since childhood. Something reminded me of it recently, so I've picked it up again. Aimed at younger readers, but a good story
ReplyDeleteThere's something very satisfying about a book with it's own bookmarks isn't there. :-)
DeleteThe Children of the New Forest sounds really good, I don't think I ever read it as a child. I was only reading something recently about adults reaching a certain age and then going back to rereading the books of their childhoods, and enjoying them all over again. Perhaps it's that we go back to them with a greater knowledge of the meaning behind the occasional simplicity of the words.
My son bought me The Farmers Wife for Christmas. Loved it, and the two ribbons were great to find your favourite recipes.
ReplyDeleteI'm absolutely loving it, in fact I would put it at the top of the list of the best books that I've read up to now this year.
DeleteI'm currently re reading Eat Green by Melissa Hemsley. Lots of great ideas to eat a flexi diet :-) xxx
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a really good book. I need to be strong and not buy it. :-)
DeleteI'm reading several at once, as usual. That way I pick up what I'm in the mood for. The 1619 Project, The Warmth of Another Sun, and No Fond Return of Love. The last I've read many times!
ReplyDeleteI used to have at least two books on the go at once, but for the past few months I've been trying to limit myself to one at a time. It's working up to now, and I do find myself picking up my current book more often.
DeleteThose books all sound very interesting, I doubt my library here in Canada carries any of them, I do not buy books. What am I reading "The Place Papers" by Tina Brown.
ReplyDeleteThat took some looking for ... until I realised that it is The Palace Papers. :-)
DeleteIt looks like a really good royal read, I have read some royal biographies and they can be really interesting can't they, this one sounds very good.
I am re-reading the Albert Campion books by Margery Allingham with my daughter, who is doing the Summer of Mystery knitting challenge. I read the first few on the list, then went back to read them all.
ReplyDeleteI had never heard of Albert Campion, another good detective series from the sound of it. It seems like Margery Allingham could give Agatha Christie a run for her money. :-)
DeleteNow that looks like an awesome read.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
It is really good. I highly recommend it. 🙂
DeleteI agree noting is more satisfying than a book
ReplyDeleteFor sure. 😀
DeleteTwo books arrived this week, "Small things like these" and "The Kitchen Front"♥ Tomorrow is Mother's Day here so I'm hoping to read "Small things like these" fingers crossed:)
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant books. I hope you get chance to sit and read 'Small Things Like These'. Enjoy your day. 💐
DeleteHaving just read this post rather late I've asked OH to buy this book for my birthday 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recommendation.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I am. It's a good birthday present. 😀
