This challenge is being held by BookNut
Here's how it works:
Rule #1: The challenge runs from January 1 to March 31. (No cheating and starting before!)
Rule #2: You must read three books. After that, it's up to you how much you want to read.
Rule #3: The books must:
have a food name in the title
have a food name in the title
ORbe about cooking/eating
ORhave a place name in the title
ORbe about one (or more) person's travel experience
ORbe about a specific culture
ORbe by an author whose ethnicity is other than your own (see, I squeezed it in!)
I'll leave it up to you to choose how the three books you read fit the criteria.
Rule #4: They must be middle-grade on up, but can be either fiction or non-fiction.
The purpose, this winter, is to take yourself someplace out of the ordinary, to go on a literary trip, whether that be challenging your expectations, discovering a new place, or enjoying the experience of reading about good food, places, and people.
My List:
Driving Over Lemons: An Optimist in Andalucia, Chris Stewart (Travel and food)
Blood River: A Journey to Africa's Broken Heart, Tim Butcher (Travel)
Biter Fruit, Achmat Dangor (Ethnicity and Food)
