Good morning! Looks like it is going to be a gorgeous day here in Minnesota. Al and I and a couple of friends of ours are going to take a motorcycle ride this morning around the area. This will of course require the helmet that I purchased a couple of years ago that reminds me of something Schultz would wear in that old series, Hogan’s Heroes.
Ok, maybe it is not that bad….. but every time I wear it I like to say “I know nothing…. NOTH -ING!” You would need to know the show to understand that line… 😀
Here is what popped up in my Email box this morning… these are the books that became available this week in either hard cover or paperback. Joy In The Morning is one that catches my eye as it is written by Betty Smith, author of A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.
How about you? Are any of these books on your wish list?

Book Journey 
You are always doing the most fun things! Have fun on your ride!
I’m not up on new releases, so I’ve never heard of any of those books except Her Fearful Symmetry which I do think I would like to read, based on blogger reviews.
Good morning Trisha! I hope to have fun! 😀
I hadn’t heard of most of these other than Fearful Symmetry as well.
Good morning!
A Vintage Affair sounds like a good one! I need to catch up on my new releases as well! =)
I love the cover of Vintage Affair Colette!
I have read Her Fearful Symmetry and it was Wonderful! I have had my eyes on A Vintage Affair so will have to pick that up, and Tatiana and Alexander looks really good as well. The covers are just beautiful!
Colleen – I think some day I am going to get photo paper and print out some of the gorgeous covers of books I have read and hang them in my reading room.
I got that same list in an e-mail…I’m thinking that Joy in the Morning sounds good. It’s been a long time since I Smith’s other book.
Have a great day!
Laurel – until this morning, I didn’t know this book existed. GAH! 🙂
I’ve got my eye on The Secret Lives of Baba Segi’s Wives!
Kathy that was the first one I clicked on to see what it was about…. then I wasn’t so sure about it…. I think I will watch for your review and see what you think 🙂
My daughter and I went to a bookstore yesterday. She bought A Vintage Affair. I hope to read it after her.
Have a great weekend. The motorcycle ride sounds so nice.
Good Morning Mary – I hope you both enjoy the book – and your day! 🙂
I so loved Hogan’s Heroes. My favorite scene was when Schultz started up the motorcycle (speaking of) with the sidecar and took off, leaving a very upset Col. Klink sitting in the sidecar which hadn’t been attached. 😀 I know nothing!
A sidecar would be awesome – LOL! With a little luck I will get a picture today of the real helmet for tomorrows Meanderings. 😀
I definitely remember Sergeant Schultz! LOL
JOY IN THE MORNING is an oldie that I read when I was a teenager I think. It’s nice that it is being reprinted. It’s a dear story as I remember.
It looks like a good one Kay and I am loving the cover!
I’ve been pondering A Vintage Affair, Barnes & Noble keeps telling me I want it and they can be pretty persuasive.
PS
I used to watch Hogan’s Heroes reruns all the time!
GO for it Andrea – then I can read your review 🙂
I love your helmet…I want one similar but it has to be pink!! My hubby and I ride all the time..one of my favorite things to do with him!
P.S. and I do get the “I know nothing!”
Have a great weekend! 😀
Staci – pink would be awesome!!!
I read Joy in the Morning years ago and loved it then.
Oh good Dee! 😀
A Vintage Affair and Tatiana and Alexander are catching my eye-Ride carefully and have fun.
Thanks Esme! 😀
Hm, it looks like, actually, none of those are on my wish list or TBR pile! *shocking*
None were on my wish list either Hannah….. until I seen them this morning and looked up what they were about…. GAH! 😀
Oh, that’s the way it always goes, isn’t it? 😀
Have fun on the motorcycle ride!
I’ve read (and love) The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet and would love to read Her Fearful Symmetry. There’s a review of Jacob de Zoet on my blog.

Thanks Leeswammes – I am going to check out your review!
Has anyone read “the dead republic” by Roddy Doyle yet? Any opinions?
Not me Colette….
I Loved The Quickening!!!! Did you read my review of it? It’s a fantastic novel. I wanna know what you think of it.
I know I seen it somewhere hippiechrissey, I cant remember if it was your blog or not. I will stop in later to see if I have read your thoughts on it. 🙂
I’ve heard great things about A Vintage Affair!
I dont think I have heard about that one Amused – but I do live the cover!
I got The Vintage Affair yesterday, and I am enjoying it so far.
Ann – you are inspiring me to go read 🙂
Oh, I’ve not been on a motorcycle ride in such a long time. When I was a kid, my poor Mum used to fret and worry whenever I went on the motorbike with Dad!
Nikki-ann, we did not go at all last year… too busy. Today was the first time I rode on back with my hubby. Usually I ride with someone else because he is a fairly new rider.
He did wonderfully!
Tat ‘n’ Alex as it is known amongst the younger generation here in England is certainly on my wish list.
That’s interesting Petty Witter. I dont believe I have heard of it until it hit my mailbox this morning. I will need to watch for the reviews on that one. 🙂
I’ve read the ARC of “A Vintage Affair” and loved it. Highly recommend it! Enjoy the hot day today, Sheila.
Thanks DarcyO – it is a scorcher out there today!
I finished Her Fearful Symmetry last week and really liked it. I haven’t heard of any of the others. Hmmm.
I hear so many good reviews on Her Fearful Symmetry but I just don’t know if that is one I would enjoy….
Some of these are on my wish list but, great, you’ve just added even more books to the list!
Lisa – LOL, then my work here is done 😀
Well, you know my opinion of THOUSAND AUTUMNS OF JACOB DE ZOET now 🙂 Loved it!
I do Lenore and I am going to have to move forward on reading this one 😀
Hi Sheila !
All look good but that helmet takes the cake !!!!!
‘The Vintage Affair’ is good….I’ve read that one. I guess my pick would be ‘Joy In The Morning’…it sounds calming and I ‘so’ need something to cool me down. I am swimming in books right now and now most of them are on my studytable forming a paperback mountain reaching towards the heavens [this comes from sticking your head in theology, everything either leads to heaven, hell or the new library come up down the road…..BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY].
My aim is to find space for my books……..after all, if they fall….they will be on my head !…..you can not read them from that angle can you ?
Alright, I will keep on swimming….you enjoy your week !
LOL Fiza – I like your analogy of the books either lead to heaver, Hell. or the library down the road…..LOL – if I ever write that book I hope to some day I am so using this line 😀
Some good books here.
A VINTAGE AFFAIR is the only one I had heard about and it is on my list of books to look for.
After checking out the others, I’ll be looking for HER FEARFUL SYMMETRY, THE QUICKENING, and THE SECRET LIVES OF BABA SEGI’S WIVES first before moving on to the rest.
