Bad Marie is just that. Bad, but good. So good. I could not put this book down. Even though Marie commits the ultimate betrayal towards her best friend, you can't help wanting her to get away with it, along with the rest of her crimes. GO, MARIE, GO!

I first read this book when I was eight years old and I have never looked at slugs the same way since.  I bet you won't either.

 You know what I did? I judged a book by its cover… And my judgment was right. After the first few pages, I was hooked. This collection is all at once beautiful, violent, and haunting, and filled with a sorrow that can pierce you with one sentence. (Plus, check out that excellent cover!)

Summer means salad! Stock up on fresh produce from your local farmers’ market and try Katzen’s beloved salads. Among my favorites from last summer are Marinated Pasta Salad and Chilled Marinated Cauliflower. I think this will be the summer of Chilled Asparagus in Dilled Mustard Sauce and Marinated Sweet Potatoes and Broccoli. YUM
