Food and Fandom: Hauptman Brownie

Wow. Okay, the title sounds kinda euphemistic, but ya know what, I'm keeping it because nobody does werewolves quite like Patricia Briggs. But I'm biased.

Food and Fandom: Dread Wolf’s Toffee

Mari-with-an-I prefers her fantasies drenched in oil and fried up in faerie, but when that’s not the case, she’ll read it anyway. She likes writing what she reads, and likes baking while she writes. She’s written a few things for anthologies, including an anthology that got translated into Czech (I know, right?! Eeeeee!), and if you haven’t read them yet, she urges you to do so! Who knows, there might be a few cookies waiting for you at the end of the read.

…Or not. (Blast her pet steampoctopus for eating them all!)

Reading Ratings (in Cookies)

5 cookies = Book was so deliciously awesome that I couldn't put it down or get it out of my mind for a while.

4 cookies = Book was great and certainly worth the read.

3 cookies = Book was good but I expected better.

2 cookies = Meh.

1 cookie = Why did I even bother?!

I'm finding myself with an actual weekend where I have little work to do...so the goal is to finish one (or two or all...) of the books on my TBR! #bookstagram #booknerd #books #bookish #readingisfun
AM I LITERALLY DONE WITH MY PORTFOLIO? YES I AM. One more check tomorrow and I think I'm going to celebrate the end of this semester with some poké!
