Book Club Tuesday: 100 Cookies

Book Club Tuesday: The Vintage Baker
Am I one of those types of people referred to as an “old soul”? Probably. When I was a kid I was obsessed with the past — music, fashion, movies, books, food — if it happened before the present, before my consciousness came into being then I was interested.
