Recs if you like Lemon...
Not like other title text!
Book covers with typography oriented in non-standard alignments, instead of the typical horizontal + left to right text alignment. Or: graphic design is my passion, and today we are learning about text paths ๐โโ๏ธ. This is an immensely silly List, and always open to suggestionsโvertical text, circular, upside down, anything goes!

When life gives you lemons
When life gives you lemonsโฆ well, I guess you've got to make the most of it. There is nothing like a nice book and a good snack, so here is a lemon themed list, for each cookbook comes a book with lemon in its title. Fiction and non-fiction are both on the menu today so you may pick whichever tickles your fancy!
grocery list
What are you buying at the grocery store? This list includes books that are titled after food, spanning all genres and topics. I think it's interesting how food symbolism can be used to explore themes of family, culture, status, and more. Please leave any recommendations so we can continue adding to our grocery list. (Note: I did try to limit titles to only include food. For example, I included "Lemon" but not "As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow". But I'm open to repeating titles. I mean, there are different brands for a reason ;)
