    Respect

    I think the central theme of this one comes down to respect. Respect for the earth, respect for resources, respect for other people. Overall, a fine book. I respect the author for donating the proceeds of the book. And it does encourage me to pay it forward. I’m donating my time, baking skills, and money to a bake sale this week to benefit my local humane society. And as a person whose “love language” is gift giving, parts of this book really did appeal to me.

    Pre-Read Thoughts

    Of all the books in the winter read-along this is probably the one I’m least looking forward to. It’s very much out of my realm of things I’m used to reading. But one of my goals this coming year is to read outside my comfort zone and to finish all the read-alongs with sparkly badges. I’m hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

    “The excess in my life tends to be books…” same girl, same. And talking about zucchinis as someone whose parents grow them every year and end up with monstrous sized zucchinis, I get it.
