Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking - Anya Von Bremzen

January-March 2025

10/10! What a book. Food is a such a human and intimate lens to talk about the USSR with, and the writing is engaging the whole way through. Hoping to make the borshch recipe :)
Someplace Generous - Various Authors

January 2025

7/10, I think. It's an anthology, and some stories really shined while others dragged the book down. A couple of my favorites were 'True to Your Heart' and 'The All-Night Deluxe Tea Room'. Overall a fun book! I want to read more romance.
August Kitko and the Mechas from Space - Alex White

August-September 2024

8/10! A fun tropey sci-fi story. Enjoyed the musical-mech theming, and the characters are endearing. Part of me wishes it was a self contained story, but I still do want to read the next one in the series.
