I want Pie by Sarah Weeks.

Goodreads summary: From the award-winning author of SO B. IT, a story about family, friendship, and...pie!

When Alice's Aunt Polly passes away, she takes with her the secret to her world-famous pie-crust recipe. Or does she? In her will, Polly leaves the recipe to her extraordinarily surly cat Lardo . . . and then leaves Lardo in the care of Alice.

Suddenly Alice is thrust into the center of a piestorm, with everyone in town trying to be the next pie-contest winner ... including Alice's mother and some of Alice's friends. The whole community is going pie-crazy . . . and it's up to Alice to discover the ingredients that really matter. Like family. And friendship. And enjoying what you do.

So why should I want Pie, you may (or may not) ask? I'll tell ya anyway. Pie looks like a delicious read and I am a huge fan of pie and books with cats involved. Especially when a cat inherits a recipe and is in charge of the protagonist? Hilarious.

Plus, in a small way, this book reminds me of one of my favorite television shows that ended before its time: Pushing Daisies.

I LOVE that show so much, and Kristen Chenoweth is gorgeous and so talented. Plus, I adore Lee Pace (who played the main character Ned) and it helps he was in my other favorite television show, Wonderfalls.

*sigh* Why do all of my favorite television shows get cancelled after a few short seasons? Oh well.
