Yesterday was a relaxing day.  I am dealing with an abscessed tooth until I can get into the dentist (hopefully today!)  I was back from the Women of Faith Conference in ST Paul and wiped out from the weekend of tooth pain and the conference itself.  I am a person who recharges my batteries by being alone – events with lots of people and action exhausts me and alone time was just what I needed.

Other than a bit of laundry and some cooking, I pretty much just read a little bit and caught up on my blog hopping a lot.  So today I want to show you the links to the books I seen while traveling the blogesphere that I now want to add to my wish list….

Over at My Fluttering Heart, I was looking to see what Aimee received in her mailbox last week.  AT first I seen a Philippa Gregory book that she had posted about but then… below that was the book that stopped me.  Lady of The Butterflies by Fiona Mountain looks wonderful!  What a great cover! I have linked the post here so click your way over to Aimee’s blog and see this book for yourself.  It is going under the Wishes Tab for me!

Then I was visiting over at Rebecca’s Blog, Everything To Do With Books and seen Libyrinth by Pearl North a fascinating sounding book and another gorgeous cover!.  But – that’s not all…. in this same In My Mailbox post Rebecca also had a book called The Crossing by Mandy Hager that I dont know if I would call cover love, but the cover certainly caused me pause and then reading about the book… well we can add two more books to my Wishes Tab.  Pop over and see Everything To Do With Books… you may just find something for your wish list as well!  🙂

Then as I hopped around the blogesphere I landed at Maw Books where Natasha shared a book that is drop dead gorgeous – inside and outside!  Climbing The Stairs by Padma Venkatraman caught my eye with the wonderful cover, but it was the story inside that Natasha touches on that sold me.   This is another one I encourage you to check out.  And yes, this too is heading on to my Wishes Tab.

So as Coffee Cup and I start our day today I am adding these books to the Wishes Tab and feeling pretty good (besides the tooth – but I am on codeine so even that is mild).  I swear I think it is the weather that makes me so book hungry.  Looking out my window it is another cold dreary morning here in Minnesota.  Overcast skies in that depressing grayish color that kind of hangs on throughout the next 5 months… yeah, I think that is why I crave to read and go the places the books take me – to hopefully sunny skies and warmer areas of the world with characters that warm my heart.
