    I love your blog title! I see you liked Chicken Soup with Rice, did you ever hear the musical version of that book? The song is now stuck in my head. :)

    Your blog title cracks me up! I hope no one ever makes me choose, lol. I really enjoy pasta, and I'm about to go make me a nice cup of hot cocoa as soon as I finish this comment. I'm sort of a backlist reader, i'm rarely aware of the newest, hottest books, I just read what I like, and sometimes I'll pick up a book after a good review or a recommendation. Great post and happy reading!!

    It was great getting to meet you, Valerie. I used to watch Gilmore Girls every week with my mom when it was out. It's a great show and when she comes out to visit we usually binge watch all the old episodes.
