5 | nicely laid out, easy to follow, I like it | The assumes we all have the same size of air fryer that she has. I have a small one and a large oven, so I will have to modify each recipe.

4 | Finding hope! | “The Tattooist of Auschwitz” was a moving story of survival and love. Told from the perspective of survivor Ludwig ‘Lale’ Eisenberg, prisoner #32407, Heather Morris does a brilliant job of describing what it was like to be a victim of Hitler and his maniacal path across Europe.

4 | Classic SK. | I love this collection of short stories by Stephen King. “The Bazaar of Bad Dreams” is an opportunity to witness the evolution of King’s writing career, while offering glimpses into his personal life; his philosophy about writing and his likes and dislikes.

4 | Does color really matter? | I usually am not wild about autobiographies, so I was surprised that I enjoyed “The Color of Water” by James McBride. Why? It was a tribute from a black man to his white mother. It provided backdrop of how McBride became who he was, and the sacrifices his mother made. In essence, his mother’s life story through his ey... | [] | 159448192X | 159448192X | AEGYU6OM2X66SMZN6AF3TSQ3N5PQ | 1,572,052,837,310 | 0 | false |

3 | You think you know the truth. | In general, I enjoy Lisa Gardner novels and this one wasn’t an exception.

There was a lot of filler that I found to be unnecessary. Cutting some of this stor... | [] | B071F6MF7H | B071F6MF7H | AEGYU6OM2X66SMZN6AF3TSQ3N5PQ | 1,535,859,928,705 | 0 | false |
