TELL ME TUESDAY is a feature that oozed from the fried brains of myself and one of my best blogging buddies. It is a weekly, or bi-weekly feature (depending on your reading style), where you tell us what you are reading now, and why, and what you will be reading in the future from your tbr pile, and why. I am oh so curious why people read what they read. So tell us!

March must be a big cookbook release month because I received several from Netgalley. There was a sizable selection to choose from. A couple were Read Nows, but I also was approved for quite a few requests. I think I was also given a couple from Edelweiss. I am still trying to "eat" my way through the rest of these culinary books, but so far my favorites have been:

Now on a more genteel note...
After seeing so many bloggers on Twitter commenting on THE SIN EATER'S DAUGHTER, and seeing reviews popping up on Goodreads and some of my favorite blogs, I shelved the book I ditched Seraphina for, and started TSED. I wanted to be able to get in on the book discussions while the topic was still new and fresh. My justification was that the book I was reading was not an ARC, and with Shadow Scale publishing on the 10th of March, there was no way I was going to finish Seraphina and complete Shadow Scale for a review before then. The pub date for my next ARC, the steampunk themed story that I had the ugly run-in with the publisher about, isn't until the 17th, so I had an open space there. I am 80% finished with The Sin Eater's Daughter, and at this point it looks like it is going to be solid four. I was thinking about 4 1/2 stars, but she threw a clunker in the mix for me at about the 60% mark; one I don't think she can redeem herself from. This is a very storyline driven book. It keeps you wanting to read to find out what is happening next, even though the prose are pretty plain and the writing is very basic in descriptors. Does that make sense? I hope so. The author writes wonderful characters. I will be finished during my lunch today because it is a quick reading book.

The Middle Grade book THICKETY, that so many readers seemed to find fascinating, was a $1.99 as an ebook, yesterday, so I purchased it and I think it is going to be my next read.
The drop in price must mean its sequel is coming out soon. I am enjoying this little break for me reading.
