Book 49 is What's for Lunch?How Schoolchildren Eat Around the World by Andrea Curtis from Red Deer Press 2012
This is a Canadian book about the assorted types and locations of school lunches around the world. It also looks at how children, families, communities and governments are working to make nutritious lunches available to all.
I really enjoyed the book which was an easy and short read. It would have been nice to read about more scenarios, but that may have been overwhelming. I don't think Miss R is ready for this book yet, but in a few years it will be helpful when she stops eating her school lunches.
Congratulations Ms Curtis for opening our eyes to how others live.

#50BookPledge Catchup
Books 45 and 46 were both from the Harlequin Desire series. The first
was Tangled Affair and the second Relentless Pursuit. These were
definitely more smut then story line and definitely worthy of the title
of brain candy. I’m about to give up on CHARLOTTE STREET but am giving
it a couple more chapters. I told myself that just because I have book
doesn’t mean I have to read it doesn’t catch my attention so I’ll update
on that soon.
Try as I might CHARLOTTE STREET by Danny Wallace was not a book I could get into. The premise of the story was just too unbelievable for me and I could not relate to the characters.
I finished Philippa Gregory's THE KINGMAKER'S DAUGHTER from Simon and Schuster this afternoon and must say I was enraptured with it. This was book #48 of my 2012 50 book pledge. The Kingmaker's Daughter is a perfect mix of the actual history of the War of the Roses in England as well as the fictitious story. I found myself often looking up facts about Anne Neville - later Queen Anne and Richard III regularly. Even though I was listening to the unabridged audio book I found I "couldn't put it down" and was forever looking for opportunities to listen to more. Congratulations to Ms Gregory for such a detailed novel. She seems to be able to tie up lose ends a lot better then the actual history did.
