Hosted by Eva at A Striped Armchair and Marg at Reading Adventures.We share what we each picked up at the library during the week.
I went to the library last night and picked up several holds for myself and a book for my hubby. I have someone to blame for the 4 books that I acquired!!
The Art of Simple Food by Alice Waters** All blame for this one goes to Margot at Joyfully Retired. I love reading her blog and she wrote about this book last week. I enjoy perusing a fun cookbook and Margot really enjoyed it, she gave it an A, so I knew that I would like this one!! And you never know, I just may try out a few recipes!
French Mi
lk by Lucy Knisley** I've seen mixed reviews for this one, but was swayed by JoAnn's (Lakeside Musing) review so I decided to get it and judge for myself. I enjoy graphic novels so I'm hoping to like this one. In this book I will be visiting France.
The Magical Life of Long Tack Sam by Ann Marie Fleming** I was heavily influenced by Alyce's Friday Finds post which featured this graphic novel. I thought it looked like a great read plus I always enjoy learning about interesting people in history. With this book I will be visiting China.
The Color of Earth by Kim Dong Hwa** Blame again goes to Alyce!! This is another graphic novel that she listed and I just had to read it!! This is the first of 3 in a series. This book takes me to Korea!
Books Read in 2010 to date: 11
Number of Books Checked out from the library:16
I bought a graphic novel based on Alyce's post, but it was the one about Burma. It looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your trip to France! The Color of Earth looks really good, too.
ReplyDeleteA lot of blame on Alyce this time ;) I wonder who I can blame my library loot on
ReplyDeleteThe Art of Simple Food caught my eye after Margot's post too. I can't wait to see what you think of all the graphic novels.
ReplyDeleteAlyce always has an eye out for the good graphic novels! I had to blame her on my post today too! :--)
ReplyDeleteohhhhhhhhhhhh these sound great! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what you think about the graphic novels! The only one on my list that I've read so far is To Dance: A Ballerina's Graphic Novel. I'm looking forward to reading the rest sometime soon.
ReplyDeleteI'll watch for your review of simple food and jump over to Margot's to see what she had to say--looks good.
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my hands on The Color of Earth. It sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteWell that's a very moderate haul - and not your fault at all. I'll be interested to know how you get on with the graphic novels - they do appeal to me but my library's stock is very poor.
ReplyDeleteFrench Milk has long been on my tbr list! Great loot!
ReplyDeleteYou always have such interesting books! I haven't gotten into the graphic novels, they just don't grab my interest...yet. I'll be looking forward to your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteIf I evaluating your list, I'd say you have a strong desire to travel somewhere out of the country. Korea, China, France -- I'd like to go too.
ReplyDeleteHope you get a lot out of Simple Food.
The art of simple food sounds interesting! A lot of great books!
ReplyDeleteThat cookbook looks good to me! Happy reading!
ReplyDelete11 books read already in 2010! Wow - you go!
