“My book review site and first blog, which I started in 2003. I started it because I was lamenting that while I read so much, I could hardly remember any of it. People would ask me what good books I'd read recently, or what I thought of a particular book, and my mind would go blank. At the same time, I'd just heard of blogging and found the idea interesting and thought I'd give it a try.” PeopleGivingTryingMindFirstsBookIdeasRememberAsksFoundInterestingHeardParticularAsk MeReviewsBlankSiteGood BookBlogsBloggingBook Review Author:Debra Hamel

“My life has been sadly lacking in snails. I can't clearly remember any first-hand encounters. The best thing I can come up with is second-hand, a passage in Jacques Pépin's autobiography (The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen) in which he describes prying snails from the terrace of his vacation home and cooking them up for dinner.” FirstsHas BeensI CanHomeHandsRememberCookingCome UpDinnerBest ThingsKitchenEncountersPassagesVacationLackingAutobiographyPinsApprenticeSnailSecond HandTerrace Author:Debra Hamel
