An Apple a Day Drives the Witch Right into Your Path…Wait

An Apple a Day Drives the Witch Right into Your Path…Wait

I kind of got away with that title there, but to be fair, whenever I see apples involved in literature, I immediately think of the tale of Snow White. It's not even my favorite tale by a mile, but I will admit that some of the retellings I've read do bring about the need to [...]

Food and Fandom: Winter King’s Pirozhki

Not gonna lie, the entire time I read The Bear and the Nightingale I kept thinking about the old-school baking that was happening in the oven at Pyotr's hearth. Every single time, Dunya was always baking something, and Vasya almost always tried to steal some of the food that came freshly out of the oven. Vasya, [...]

Happy New Year! Here’s Some Apple Strudel :D

So this isn't really book-related or anything, though the whole thing with apple-related [...]

Food and Fandom: Redwall Apples

Food and Fandom: Redwall Apples

Total disclaimer: I have actually not read Brian Jacques' Redwall series. So why do a Food and Fandom post on this series? Well, good question. I have a friend to blame for that. Lately she and I have met to do a bit of baking (and video gaming...), and she's a big Redwall fan. So I guess [...]

Mari

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?!
