Pickpick

This was a very unique read! I hadn‘t read anything like it before.

It blends fact and fiction to create a “history” of animals starting from the Paleozoic Era all the way to present day and beyond. Basically it personifies animals and tells their story in relation to humans. The animals are presented in a very human way.

#BibliophileAdventCalendar #Day8

The #AdventPromptoftheDay is actually an activity: cook your favorite recipe.

So, my question is:
🎄What‘s your favorite cookbook? What makes it special?

TheBookgeekFrau lol - I did this activity yesterday when I made Beef Stew from my Betty Crocker cookbook. My mother got this cookbook for her bridal shower, and I stole it from her when I got married 21h
BookishMarginalia @TheBookgeekFrau That counts in my book! 21h

lil1inblue My current favorite isn't in the database: It's called Four Seasons of Cabin Cooking. My husband and I love to experiment with campfire cooking, and this is perfect for that. 😍 https://www.finnishdesignshop.com/en-us/product/four-seasons-of-cabin-cooking?sr... 21h
willaful I literally just put one of my favorite recipes in the oven - Butterscotch Brownies from How to Cook Everything. Simply everyone loves them and they're so easy -- it's enormous bang for the buck.

Another favorite is Eggs in a Nest - pouched eggs on vegetables over rice -- from Animal, Vegetable, Miracle.

julesG Whoop!!! Did exactly that for dinner. Made a quinoa-veggie-chicken-one-pot dish with almonds and dried apricots from a tiny cookbook. 14h

They now have another store in Phoenix and a First Draft Book Bar where you can sit and drink wine and other delights. The bookstores I want most to visit are Powells and The Strand. #someday ♥️💙💚 2d

Bookwormjillk I can‘t decide- either We Dream of Space or Beautyland 3d
RaeLovesToRead Lonely castle in the mirror 😭😭😭😭 AMAZING book 3d
LeafingThroughLife Not me putting all these books on my wishlist because I love when a book gives me a good emotional wrecking. 🤣 For me, it‘s a tie between Saving Francesca and City of Tranquil Light. 3d
dabbe For both sad and happy tears, this one ... the only book I gave 5 stars to this year, and it's a comic book. #gofigure 3d
Karisa The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and his Mother)‘s ending made me cry in the best way. So stinking good and did not see it coming at all! Also cried when Francoise‘s grandmother died in My Life with Picasso… I‘m an easy crier! 😅 (edited) 3d
