I had an amazing opportunity to taste a handful of the recipes that are in Modern Hospitality made by Whitney Miller at a dinner a few weeks ago and let me tell you that was a treat. Whitney Miller's cookbook Modern Hospitality is down home southern recipes with a modern flair. Whitney has a gift of taking classic southern dishes and elevating them to the next level. The best part of Modern Hospitality is all the recipes in the book are easy to cook with easy to obtain ingredients.

Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow

Through My Eyes by Tim Tebow is an enjoyable and inspirational book. It is inspiring to read a book written by Tim Tebow which has so much fame yet uses it not to his own benefit but rather for the glory of God. It is a testimony to how celebrities have such a platform to influence others. Tim Tebow is everything that kids in the younger generation should be looking for in a role model. Throughout this book, it is evident how sincere and genuine his faith is. He also gives insight to every game played in his college and NFL career. As a fan, avid reader, and football lover, I cannot recommend this book enough.

Salvage the Bones

DeLisle, Mississippi native Jesmyn Ward writes with a power and depth of feeling that is rare and exhilarating. Her novel about twelve days in the life of a poor black family living on the Mississippi coast as a hurricane gathers in the gulf displays the gifts of a writer with exceptional skill and no fear. The characters seem almost to claw their way off the pages, so vividly has Ms. Ward created them. This is a novel of flesh and blood, heart and soul, dreams and terrors that I will not soon forget.
