Lunch in Paris...anyone?

‘The chocolate centre flows like dark lava onto the whiteness of the plate. The last ounce (28 grams lol!) of stress drains from my body....I have discovered the French version of Death by Chocolate.’ Such wrote Elizabeth Bard in her book 'Lunch in Paris'
Such decadence! But as in all the food TV-shows we are allowed to enjoy life vicariously. So it's time to indulge because the library has just splashed on fifty new books selected from the Top 100 list.

Some other books from the list include 'The Alchemist' from Paulo Coelho, a modern fable published more than twenty years ago and still in the top 100, Picoult's 'My Sister's Keeper' and Michael J. Fox uplifting 'Always Looking Up'.

  1. Highly recommend. House Rules would be an excellent subject for a book club discussion. For someone who has enjoyed Jodi Picoult's other subjects. The book was an easy quick read. It was predictable of what happened and I knew how she died after 20 minutes of reading.
