Welcome to my blog! My name is Brooke and I am an amateur chef, avid reader, and aspiring author. For me, cooking, reading, and writing are therapeutic. They are ways for me to escape the real world, even if it’s just for a little while.
When it comes to food, I will cook just about anything and am always open to trying new things. For me, food is art. Similar to writing, it is a way for the cook (or the writer) to express themselves.
To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.
– François de la Rochefoucauld
As for reading, I fly through novels like its nobody’s business, so it is only fitting that I write book reviews after I finish. Plus, I have a nasty habit of forgetting which books in my library I’ve read and which ones I haven’t. This is for your benefit, to know which books I recommend, and for my benefit, to remember which books I’ve finished! It is like I said, reading is is an escape for me.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.
– George R.R. Martin
I typically read and write psychological thrillers, suspense, mystery, and horror novels, so most of the books I review will fall into one or more of these categories. However, I am open to any genre, as long as the book tells a compelling story.
I hope you enjoy!
