  2. I have read some of these and have filed others away in my brain. I was happily surprised when you mentioned that you had received a copy of Molly Wizenberg's book– I have a copy that I haven't read yet. I had been following her blog, Orangette, for a while when the book came out. Sadly, the blog is on hiatus while she and her husband work on other projects, but the archives are still very happy reads!
