This book is exactly what it says it is: Homework for Grown Ups: Everything You Learned in School and Promptly Forgot. E. Foley and B. Coates have gathered together what we all probably knew at some point ... and yes, there are tests! The fun thing was that I could skip both the tests and the chapter on math!

For decades now I've avoided chocolate as it triggers migraines, but that doesn't mean I don't like to read about it! Great Moments in Chocolate History, by Howard-Yana Shapiro starts in the 1500's ends in 2014. Fun tidbits of history, with great photos, and then a collection of recipes. Read with a cup of cocoa. :-)

So much for being quiet and demure! Read all about boisterous and shameless females in Scandalous Women: the Lives and Loves of History's Most Notorious Women, by Elizabeth Kerri Mahon. Loved the description on the back of the book: "created a ruckus" and "making waves." !! In addition to the bibliography there are also suggestions for further reading and films.
