#60 Staked by Kevin Hearne

The eighth book in the series feels like a turning point in the overall story arc. For the most part the three druids are apart moving along in their lives.  Atticus is working on vampire killing, Owen is going to start a school and Granuaile is working with the Polish witches to evade Loki’s divination powers.  Things get rolling quickly at the end but it is a bit of slow build up with some pieces setting in motion for later books. A good read that picks up speed very quickly in the end.

#61 Appetites: A Cookbook by Anthony Bourdain

If you have watched any of his shows then you will be hearing him in your head while you read and use this cookbook. I liked how the recipes are set up with some having hints and tips before the actual measurements and some after. It feels more like a friend telling you how to do things instead of just measurements and directions with the pictures.  There are lots of great photos in the book and not just the typical food shots you would expect to find. But I have to say the last photo in the book made me laugh at loud.  I’ll try out a few of these recipes but I think a few I would have to try while going out to eat before I attempted it at home.

Overall a great book and I can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy of the book.

#62 Sushi: Jiro Gastronomy by Jirō Ono, Yoshikazu Ono, Masuhiro Yamamoto

This is a tiny jewel of a book on sushi. The photography is lovely but I seriously doubt I will ever get to eat at the restaurant it is for.  With each fish listed Jiro lets you know what time of year he serves it and why.  There are some tips on eating sushi at the end of the book along with information about how to get a reservation at his restaurant. The book almost seems to be geared as a book to get as a gift for eating at the restaurant instead of trying to take pictures of every serving of fish.

I was surprised that some of the fish is aged to bring out the best in it. Each fish almost has a certain way of being treated to showcase the best flavors.  This is a really lovely gift book for the foodie on your shopping list.
