Here are all my book reviews in reverse-chronological order.
My favorite book of 2014 was Dinner A Love Story. It has some inspirational material to help you cook for yourself and your family, along with the best compilation of weeknight dinner recipes I’ve read in a cookbook. They taste special enough (not bland or boring), but they also take 30 minutes. I still use it to this day.
My favorite book of 2015… I looked back at my book reviews and didn’t really have a strong favorite. I would say one trend is that I have become a fan of re-reading Vanguard founder Jack Bogle’s classic books. His old stuff has a lot of common sense reasoning that doesn’t always fit with today’s “one-size-fits-all” advice.
Happy Thanksgiving Jonathan, one thing i’m thankful for is your website!
Your link for “all my book reviews” is circular.
^^^ Nevermind… i guess i thought i was going to a list of your reviews… as in a tabular list, instead of the prior blog posts.
