Don’t like to plan? Choose the a la carte option and let us know when you read a book about food.
What counts as a food book? Any genre – fiction, nonfiction, cookbooks, etc. If food is a major part of the plot then it counts!
Each month I’ll have a new page for book reviews that you post. You can find the page for the month linked here and on the blog’s right sidebar. Each month will feature some posts from the last month. Posts will be pinned to Pinterest and publicized on Twitter to get the word out. Along the way there may be giveaways for participants.

Thanks for joining us!
Does "Julie and Julia" count as a foodie book? Because that was a great one!
Yes. When I did this challenge in 2014, it was one of the books I reads then.
I am anxious to get to know everyone and see what they are reading. This is a great idea.
What fun! Glad to meet you Jamie, and look forward to hearing more about the books you'll be reading. Definitely "Julie and Julia" count - did you see the film, too?
