Susanna Hoffs: This Bird Has Flown (Hardcover, 2023, Little, Brown and Company)

Review of 'This Bird Has Flown' on 'Goodreads'

Music and romance

I decided to read a romance. I never really had before. And, since I saw this book by Susanna Hoffs of the Bangles that I had gifted to my wife, I thought, "Why not?"

Because of her musical background, it is filled with music references and true to life details about life on and off the stage. I love love and was rooting for the main female character, Jane, from the...Start (Pun intended). The story was fun and took some turns for drama that always helps a story along.

Brad Thomas Parsons: Bitters (2011, Ten Speed Press)

Review of 'Bitters' on 'Goodreads'

Did not leave me bitter

I heard about this book in another that I was reading. Since I've been wondering, "What are bitters and how or why would I use them?" I immediately went to find and read this. It did not disappoint.

This book is many things. It's a history book, a DIY guide for making your own, a basic recipe book, and a collection of recipe blog stores all rolled into one. In fact, that's probably the only negative about this book, it's too many different things.
