This is a relatively short article, but it comes with an activity!
Recently, I was stumbled across an author who seemed too weird to be real. Marshella Goodsworth had written a host of cookbooks on eclectic topics and food combinations. At first I thought it might be a joke, but then I found out that spam has been taking over the Kindle store. It's an interesting though unsurprising phenomenon and one that Amazon will likely need to control to help advance a bigger future for ebooks.
The activity: post a comment with a favorite title from Marshella Goodsworth's published catalog of books! My personal favorite: Christmas Nachos Recipes. It would really make my Christmas if I got a gift box like the one on the cover, but it was full of 'chos piled high with all the fixin's!
I'll be on vacation tomorrow, so no longread will be posted.
