Inspired by Danielle’s ‘Friday Finds’ posts on her blog, Stories Unfolded, I decided to give it a try. Each week on Friday, I will give an update of the novels I was approved to read that week from NetGalley. I already keep an ongoing list of my upcoming book reviews, but I like the idea of sharing which new books I’m excited to add to my TBR (To-Be-Read) list.
I currently have 13 books on the list, so I’m only going to share the ones that I’ve been approved for this past week.

Adding more plant-based, gluten-free foods into your life just got a lot tastier.
Whether you’re transitioning to a completely plant-based diet or you just want some ideas for how to prepare scrumptious veggie dishes, Heather Crosby provides a step-by-step guide to adding good stuff into your existing routine.
Why I’m excited…
When I saw what this book was about, I was excited because my older sister eats gluten-free. She gave up gluten and dairy a long time ago, and she raves about how much better she feels. I’m looking forward to trying recipes from this book, both for myself to eat healthier and possibly to help my sister find something new and delicious that she can enjoy eating.
