What Arrived in the Mail

What are you reading today?! Any suggestions for my personal mood-boosting list?
What is the Sunday Salon? Imagine some university library's vast reading room. It's filled with people--students and faculty and strangers who've wandered in. They're seated at great oaken desks, books piled all around them,and they're all feverishly reading and jotting notes in their leather-bound journals as they go. Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....That's what happens at the Sunday Salon, except it's all virtual. Every Sunday the bloggers participating in that week's Salon get together--at their separate desks, in their own particular time zones--and read. And blog about their reading. And comment on one another's blogs. Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book. Click here to join the Salon.
The Sunday Post is a meme hosted by Kimba at Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It's a chance to share news and recap the past week.
Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at The Printed Page. We share books that we found in our mailboxes last week.
It is now being hosted here.
Stacking the Shelves is a meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews in which you can share the books you've acquired.
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from! I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme Book Journey loves to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme.
These books look very uplifting...glad you had such an enjoyable week. Here's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES POST
ReplyDeleteYes, uplifting. That's what I need.
DeleteOh, I'm intrigued by Dinner: The Playbook. Let me know if it looks adaptable to 2 people! It's just my husband and I at home and I struggle to find meal planning books that provide ideas and recipes that are easily scalable to 2 people.

Books from my favourite authors can usually work as a mood boosting book for me. I hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteTales from the Yoga Studio and The Dinner Playbook look fantastic. I want to get into yoga if my doctor allows me, plan on asking her next week, and who doesn't want an easier way to plan dinner! Thanks for the mood-lifting titles. I'm sorry but don't have a suggestion for you as I tend to read dark and depressing books, lol. I'm a suspense thriller junkie.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely idea for a list. I loved The Rosie Project. It was just such a feel good novel. :-)
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing, you always have intriguing titles! - very dangerous for my TBR!
ReplyDeletePicking Peace looks good, hope you enjoy and have a great upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteI read "Family happiness" by Laurie Colwin a few years ago and loved it :) Have a great week !
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week! Tales from the Yoga Studio, Life with the Lid Off and Life According to Lubka sound especially intriguing. I'm curious about the dinner book as well. We're pretty good about eating dinner together but who doesn't need extra help. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a good group of books, ENJOY!!!
ReplyDeleteI've requested Murder Strikes a Pose - I'm anxious to hear how you like it! http://anurseandabook.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of any of these books. I like that you're reading from the Mood Busting Books list- that sounds fun, I'll check the list out. But I don't really need any more lists, and have more than enough to read already.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to read books that make you feel good when you finish. I think I've been reading too many books that make me feel sad when I finish.
DeleteYou've read some really interesting books there! :) And Pickin' Peas looks so cute. I love bunnies! :) I really hope you'll enjoy your next reads. Great post and thanks for stopping by :)
ReplyDeleteThese books is what I need right now! I'm feeling stressed and depressed cause of work and I think Happy All The Time and Life With The Lid Off could uplift my mood. Thanks for stoppin' by at my blog!
ReplyDeleteFeel-good books, could definitely do with some of that. Dinner sounds good too, looking forward to your thoughts. Have a good week and enjoy your new reads :)
ReplyDeleteI love the comfort food description- we all have books that are just like that for us. YOu know you can curl up and lose yourself in the pages.
ReplyDeleteI need to read Laurie Colwin! Right now I'm reading Beyond the Pasta. It's travel,memoir, food ... almost feels like a trip to Italy.
ReplyDeleteDinner looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
I can't help with your list. I read so little nonfiction. You can see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm little late to reply but I"m currently reading Splintered but I wouldn't recommend as it a uplifting novel. Enjoy your new reads
ReplyDeleteDinner: The Playbook looks interesting, we're always looking for new ideas for dinner or recipes. I'll bet there are some good ones in there.
ReplyDeleteComfort reads sound perfect in these last weeks of summer! Have an awesome week!
ReplyDeleteThe books you read last week all look so good. I am amazed how you read so many. I am a one-a-week-book girl.
ReplyDeleteENJOY this week.

My It's Monday, What Are You Reading
You definitely got through a lot of interesting looking reads last week! I was lucky enough to read two books that got the 5-star rating from me. ^_^ It makes me happy when I read epic books! I just finished reading Four by Veronica Roth today, and still deciding on what to start next. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by @ Notebook Sisters!
Mood booster books sound like a great idea! Thanks for stopping by! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGood idea to have a mood boosting list of book possibilities! Most of the books I read boost my mood, but then I read those kind of books mostly. Really enjoying River Road by J A Krentz. Even though suspense, I like it.
ReplyDeleteI really love self-help books. I must start reviewing the ones I read. One of my favourite authors is SARK, but you probably already know about her crazy, creative, love-of-life books. If not, do read her stuff!
ReplyDeleteDinner the Play Book looks interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteI need to get busy reading that! I like anticipation, so sometimes I wait and wait for the really good ones!
DeleteI'm interested to hear if you liked the Laurie Colwin book? Cheers. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteLoved it!
