THE WORLD NEEDS MORE LOVE LETTERS ALL-IN-ONE STATIONERY AND ENVELOPES - Such a Neat Idea!


LOVE LETTERS, All-In-One Stationery and Envelopes
by Hannah Brencher
Potter Style, Random House LLC Publishers



     Hannah Brencher has taken the familiar write/fold/mail one-piece stationary and incorporated it into a convenient book form. Her book contains 40 bright, colorful sheets of quality paper ready for that special note on one side and the mailing address on the other.
     This stationary book is a comfortable 7 x 10 inches and fits into a large purse, a tote bag, or easily carried, having it readily available for those times when you find yourself in a situation where you are waiting.  A quick note to a friend or loved one can be penned and left safely in the stationary book until you are ready to address it, remove the page, fold and mail!  

     And if you need a bit of inspiration, the author has provided 40 interesting ideas to help get you started! 

     Because of it’s "novel" format, Love Letters would also make a great gift for a book lover!

***
NOTE:  In the author's section of inspirational ideas, Ms. Brencher suggests sharing a bottle of wine with one’s partner.  As I do NOT condone the use of beverage alcohol in any form for any reason, it is herein noted that this review does NOT agree with nor condone this suggestion by the book's author.

We will NOT review nor recommend COOKIE LOVE


by Mindy Segal with Kate Leahy
Ten Speed Press, Berkeley

Nothing invokes memories of childhood in the kitchen as much as cookies - not only the joy of eating the delicious treat but sharing the time with Mom or Grandma making them. When "Blogging for Books" offered Mindy Segal’s book, Cookie Love, I was excited about reviewing it.  And couldn’t have been more disappointed.

Cookie Love contains recipes that include wine and/or beer and/or beverage alcohol as an ingredient.  We condemn the consumption of alcoholic beverage in any form and for any reason.  Therefore, we will not review, endorse, nor recommend this book.  


Book Author Bio: Mindy Segal is a James Beard Award-winning chef and the owner of the popular Chicago restaurant, "HotChocolate".
