Book Challenge, Week 51

Brishen:
79. Wrath of the Bloodeye by Joseph Delaney

Melani:
75. Heat by Bill Buford
I enjoyed this book about a writer who decides to enter the restaurant world from the bottom up. He works for Mario Batali, and part of the book chronicles his biography. I especially enjoyed the parts when the author traveled to Italy to learn to make pasta and to be apprenticed to a butcher. Yes, I'm glad I'm a vegetarian.
76. QBQ by John G. Miller
Yes, I'm one of those nerds who takes a Dave Ramsey class, takes notes on the books he mentions, and then reads them. This is one of them. QBQ stands for "Question Behind the Question," and it encourages personal accountability. It highlights the questions we ask all the time, many times a day, that place the blame on others or outside circumstances. Instead, we should be asking the questions that lead us to do something about it, no matter what hand we're dealt or what others are doing or not doing.

Jon:
43. Maggot by John Fowles
44. Roasting in Hells Kitchen by Gordon Ramsey
45. QBQ by John G. Miller
