It's time to say goodbye to December and to the year 2013.  I look fondly back at the year and count my blessings.  My son turned 15, my daughter 13, I read 83 books and made my goal. I met lots of new authors, enjoyed family time and had many new experiences.

Join me in saying goodbye to December's author in the spotlight Jeffrey Pilcher.

Please check out my book review of Planet Taco.  Jeffrey is a history professor and teaches classes at the U of MN on the history of food and drink.  Planet Taco is exceptionally detailed and packed full of educational information.  Included in the book are pictures, maps and recipes. Planet Taco is a great book for those willing to put in the time.  I can guarentee that you will learn a lot from reading this book.

It has been a pleasure to work with Jeffrey Pilcher this month and I would like to thank him for being the December Minnesota Author in the Spotlight.  I met Jeffrey Pilcher at the Twin Cities Book Festival a year ago in October, 2012.  I love reading books about food and food history and Planet Taco is so interesting to me.   I'm so glad I was able to feature Jeffrey Pilcher here on BookSnob.  Please check out his book, Planet Taco.
