Pennie Picks Delicious!

Shelf Awareness

Pennie Clark Ianniciello, Costco's book buyer, has chosen Delicious!: A Novel by Ruth Reichl (Random House, US$27) as her pick of the month for May. 

In Costco Connection, which goes to many of the warehouse club's members, she wrote:"Dinner has always been a time to talk about the day, current events and favorite books. Reading has a similar communal feel, whether I buy a book as a gift or talk about my favorite titles with Connection readers and other friends. So, as a fan of good food and a good read, I believe Ruth Reichl's Delicious! is an ideal pick.

"Billie Breslin moves to New York City to work at the iconic food magazine Delicious! When the magazine folds abruptly, she takes a job maintaining the hotline for reader complaints. The work becomes less lonely when Billie discovers a hidden room that contain letters written by 12-year-old Lulu Swan to culinary great James Beard. The letters heal Billie in ways she never imagined."
