		<description><![CDATA[Sarah Addison Allen said it best when she described her books as &#8220;Southern-fried magical realism.&#8221; That&#8217;s an almost perfect description of her work: her novels are always set in the Carolinas and food features heavily in most of them. But it&#8217;s the spark of magical realism that keeps readers coming back. Whether it&#8217;s the throwing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve mentioned before how much I love Sarah Addison Allen&#8217;s writing. Her books sparkle with magic, yet her characters are realistically flawed. In her latest novel, The Girl Who Chased the Moon, we meet young Emily, who, after the death of her mother, has gone to live with a grandfather she&#8217;s never met. A quiet [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this yoga memoir, author Jessica Berger Gross details how she &#8220;lost 40 pounds with a yoga mat, fresh pineapples, and a Beagle-Pointer.&#8221; With a subtitle like that, I had to read this book. It&#8217;s a very relatable tale. After a challenging childhood (including an abusive father and an exhausted, cowed mother), college-age Jessica finds [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In this magical memoir, author Noelle Oxenhandler explores the power (and danger) of the art of wishing. After a series of tumultuous personal events, Oxenhandler finds herself divorced, spiritually bereft and raising her daughter alone in a rental house. Simultaneously envious and suspicious of her friend Carole&#8217;s ability to manifest her desires through wishing (a [...]]]></description>

Ani&#8217;s dessert book hits the street at the end of April, and Sarma&#8217;s will be available June 30th. I&#8217;ll definitely be purchasing them both; even if I weren&#8217;t already familiar [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One really cold evening last winter, I snuggled up with a blanket and a space heater and dove into the debut novel by an author I&#8217;d never heard of: Sarah Addison Allen. I devoured the book, Garden Spells, in a matter of hours; it captivated me from page one. Allen&#8217;s writing is somewhat similar to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I just read a pretty fascinating book called Gluten-Free Girl by Shauna James Ahern. In this memoir-cum-cookbook, Ahern chronicles her food habits as a child, her chronic illnesses, and finally her diagnosis of celiac disease, which renders her unable to eat foods that contain gluten (typically wheat, barley, rye and spelt). Rather than adopting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For the past few months, people have been telling me to read Elizabeth Gilbert&#8217;s Eat, Pray, Love. Like, literally once a month someone would recommend it to me. So I finally bit the bullet and put my name on the waiting list. I got my copy a few days ago, and I have to admit [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I love to read health and fitness books. Overall, I&#8217;m pretty much a fiction reader, but this is where I make an exception. Since I&#8217;m devoting my life and work to healthy living, I guess it makes sense that I like to stay abreast of things. So, with that in mind, I thought I&#8217;d share [...]]]></description>
