I was just asked to review a soon-to-be-released dystopian YA novel for a book blog tour and my topic is "food people eat after the end of the world." <br />Well. So I read the book and I can say with some authority the pickings will be slim...

I hope you post about some of your experiences running the fast food restaurant sometime. I'm curious about some of the things an average person probably wouldn't know -- or even dream of about the food service business. :)jamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07859083373087448194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-30838221501206220232012-08-11T15:35:09.508-04:002012-08-11T15:35:09.508-04:00Good to catch up with you again.

I have dreamed of owing a restaurant since I was about 19, but the realities of the stress and total commitment have always stopped me just in time. :)Beth Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627666337961326265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1642647757923153369.post-27806304956275347362012-08-11T09:00:36.952-04:002012-08-11T09:00:36.952-04:00Yes, I am noticing food more and more in books.

Which I guess makes sense, since you probably think a lot about food when you don't have enough :(<br /><br />BTW, I was so excited when I same to your blog and saw your photo of The Strand. I love that place!MJhttp://wanderinginthestacks.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
