Hosted by Sheila from Book Journey, this is a weekly event to share what we’ve read in the past week and what we hope to read, plus whatever else comes to mind. To learn more about each book, just click on the book cover!

Finished Last Week:

Food: A Love Story by Jim Gaffigan
The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Andersen
The Undertaker's Daughter by Kate Mayfield
The Last American Vampire by Seth Grahame-Smith

I love Jim Gaffigan’s comedy, and I really loved his latest book. I loved it so much in fact that I think my coworkers may have thought I was having a seizure as I tried to stifle my laughter while listening to his hilarious thoughts on food. Tears of laughter are ALWAYS a good thing. A fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen is a complete 180 from Mr. Gaffigan’s homage to food, but I figure it fit the weather. Plus, it was a freebie from Audible. Kate Mayfield’s memoir about growing up in the South in the 1960s in a funeral home was interesting, although I confess that I’m really not certain I understand her point in writing it. It’s been a while since I’ve read a vampire story, and I really loved Smith’s tongue-firmly-in-cheek Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. (Hey, I never said I read the most highbrow of literature.)
