Reasons For Reading This Book I read this book as I am apart of the podcast book club  The ReadHeads . The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan was the book of the month for November 2021. I knew very little about the book going into it other than it was set during the war. I am usually not a fan of books from this genre, but was open to the idea of liking it as it was centered around cooking and a contest compared to battles and violence. I went into this book with an open mind.  Content of the Book The Kitchen Front by Jennifer Ryan follows the lives of four contestants in a cooking competition. The purpose of the competition is to use food war rations to show how creative one can be with making delicious and nutritious food. It's two years into the war and there is no sight of it ending so there is still a need for how to be creative with food rations. The winner of the competition becomes the female voice and co-star for the BBC's food radio show called The Kitchen Front. The ...

Reason for Reading This Book My main reason for reading this book is that I am a ReadHead, a member of  The ReadHeads  podcast book club and the book of the month for August was We Are the Brennans by Tracey Lange . I was excited to read this book because the host who chose the book is a young-adult genre fan. I have also liked most of the books chosen by this host. I had no expectations going into this book. I read a majority of the book on my travels from California to Texas, and finished it in my destination of D.C. I read this book during 10 days of intensive work training and it was the perfect light read to pull me away from reality each day. Content of this Book One night Sunday Brennan makes a decision that changes her life forever. She gets behind the wheel after drinking, which results in both a crash and a DUI. What now? After the accident Sunday moves from Los Angeles back home to live with her family in New York. Sunday is now faced with the reality of being with ...

My Reasons For Reading This Book As I have mentioned in past book reviews, I follow  The Readheads Book Club . This is a podcast book club where a different book is chosen each month. At the time of writing this we are reading book 14 of the year. The chosen book was Layla by Colleen Hoover . Like most of the hosts of the book club I had not read any of Colleen Hoover's books.

Before I started reading the book I only knew the title and a brief description that was given in the podcast.  Content of the Book This book follows the intriguing story of Leeds and Layla's life after their meeting at her sister's wedding. Layla and Leeds' lives are forever changed after an unexpected attack. The attack leaves Layla with mental and emotions scarring, she is not the same woman Leeds fell in love with months before. In an effort to mend their relationship, Leeds ...
