Hello friend!
Welcome to Cook Create Read, the chronicles of a middle-aged, bookish introvert. My name is Terri and I am a 50-something life-long reader who also loves to cook and create things on a whim. I do love a new hobby (much to my husband’s annoyance!). I am a homebird, but also like to travel. I love paperbacks and have been known to be seduced by a pretty cover. I hate peas and spiders.
On Cook Create Read you will find book reviews, hauls and recommendations along with snippets from my fairly boring life. Who knows … I might even start recording some BookTube videos! Feel free to leave comments and suggestions, and spread kindness.
