Since 2004 I've kept a reading journal split between a list of books purchased and reviews of books that I've read and I've decided to start posting very brief reviews here as well. October 2023 seemed like a good place to start. I've been immersed in a lot more short fiction than usual this month, but I did finish these books.

Old American Kitchenware, 1725-1925
I research and blog on food history topics and picked up this book at a library book sale last summer. It's hard to understand many very old recipes without first understanding the equipment and kitchens that were used at that time. This is an interesting, well-illustrated addition to my culinary history library.

Starter Villain by John Scalzi
This was a quick, breezy read and a lot of fun. The most enjoyable book I've read from Scalzi in years.

Making it So: A Memoir by Patrick Stewart
Loved this book, especially the first half that covers his working class life and work in theater.
