The ROOTS Anthology is a BlogHer book — I am employed by BlogHer but I purchased the book myself. I was not asked to write about the book. The opinions expressed here are my own and I readily admit I’m probably a little biased.
OK a lot biased.
I know a good many of the people whose stories are featured in this anthology. I’ve spent time with them in person. I’ve read their blogs for years. I hang out with them on Chatter/Twitter and Facebook. It’s hard not to love this book because, well, these people are MY people.
It was fun to hear several of them read their stories at BlogHer Food — a little foodie community-like keynote. So fun. It was just as fun to read their stories again last week. I might even have felt tempted to make some of the recipes. (OK Fine. I might have been tempted to ask TW to make some of their recipes. Happy now?)
I loved this book. Yea, I’m biased.
I love this review.
We’re all biased in various ways, but I think this one is a very good bias to have. I’m sure it lifts you up to see this book come together because they’re YOUR people.
Mmm, food.
Sometimes the books that we’re biased in favour of are the most fun to read.
