Favorite Book(s) This Month
1. Ruin of Kings:
I LOVED the footnotes and the message about how slavery infects society. Incredibly well done fantasy.
2. The Bear and the Nightingale: Beautiful, Russian fairy-tale atmosphere--I don't know why twists on Russian fairy tales are so popular in fantasy right now, but I'm here for it!
3. Empire of Sand: Incredibly unique system where dance is a conduit for magic and only some people can do it. I also like the straight from frying pan into the fire type plot.

I saw Gretchen Rubin speak in March. I've loved all of her books and this is the first time I got to see her in person-what a wonderful speaker! I want to know where she took classes! It was clear she knew her speech by heart but it sounded so authentic and she looked like she was really looking at each audience member. And perfect gestures. Very impressed. Her new book, Inner Order, Outer Calm, is more of a combination of tips on clutter from her other books, but useful for what it is.
Goods Baked
1. Hamantashen-I always use this recipe, but next year, I want to try something different! My favorite fillings for hamantashen are apricot and raspberry jam.
