ReplyDeleteGood decision.

DeleteI'm reading The Woman Who Walked Into Doors by Roddy Doyle (I've owned it for 5 years and am just getting around to it) and Vegetable, Mineral, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver.
ReplyDeleteVegetable, Mineral, Miracle is a worthy read.

ReplyDeleteMe, too!
DeleteNot heard of any of these books but they do look intriguing. Hope you enjoy your week of reading :)
ReplyDeleteI am always happiest when I have an enormous pile of possibilities and time to root around. Like today.
DeleteOoo... Some intriguing non-fiction titles. I think I need to go back to school; every non-fic book I come across lately makes me want to learn everything about a subject.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
Love nonfiction!
DeleteYou have some great reads this week. I'm looking forward to The Empty Glass and Just My Type. Happy Reading!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Your titles here look great. The first two reminded me of the celebration meant for Julia Child as people around the world celebrated her birthday a week ago, I think. You have lovely selections here. Enjoy reading!
