Good morning and happy Sunday! We have had a full week of sunny days so needless to say, I am happy! 😀 Sunny days usually equals good reading time for me, and this weekend with no heavy plans I have had a wonderful time enjoying books and audio.
I am on day 6 of my cleanse which is no bread, dairy, no beverage other than water, basically fruits, vegies, a little brown rice, olive oil, protein shakes. Actually I have become pretty creative in my cooking and have made a few things that I suspect I will continue to make and eat after the cleanse is complete. After day 10 (FRIDAY!) I can add in chicken and fish.
Here is what arrived at my house for review this week:
All great looking books, the top one, Mirror Mirror is a DVD.
On Monday our library had its June Brown Bag Author event and I picked up this:
Shawn Lawrence Otto was interesting to listen to… his book about the topics our presidential candidates are not discussing like global warming and water shortages. Not necessarily a book I would have normally picked up, but after listening to him talk and chatting with him afterwards I am curious what else he has to say.
I am very excited about Yes Chef! I see this one on Shelf Awareness this past week and ordered it right away! Yes Chef is a genre and type of book I love – Food Memoirs!!!
And finally, I did a little garage saling with a friend on Friday morning and I found three audio books to bring home. 😀
That’s what books have entered my house this week. About 20 left the house in giveaway packages so I think I am ahead of the game 😀 Tomorrow at the Library will be Margi Preus, with her book Heart Of The Samurai, A 2011 Newbery Honor Book. I am interested in hearing her talk and plan on having a Minnesota Authors segment coming up soon.
Hope your day is SUPER FAB! This is my last quiet weekend for a while so I am soaking it up 😀
Book Journey 
Yes, Chef looks really good to me too! I am always happy when I mail a book out too, but Carl says I’m not mailing enough away! lol
Oh I get that Kathy…. the books are gaining on me!!!
I loved that Kate Atkinson book…it was the first of hers that I had read, and then I realized it was a series and had to read the others, too. Enjoy!
OOh series? *gulp* 😀
The Shadow Queen sounds interesting. I got that one this week too. Enjoy all your new books, Sheila.
Thanks Kaye 😀
Nice audio finds at the garage sale! I think Yes, Chef sounds like a memoir I’d enjoy so I’ll watch for your review down the road 🙂
I am looking forward to it too Mary 😀
I hadn’t heard of “Yes, Chef” (clearly I’m behind on reading Shelf Awareness). Now I’m going to have to add that one to my wish list!
This one showed up in the emails last week… I was instantly hooked! 😀
Great haul!

Thanks!
Nicely done this week. I’m trying to get into audio books I just won some so will have to give it a try
Oh I am so glad Jess! I hope they are good one that make you addicted… like me! LOL 😀
I stopped at a different library than I usually go to yesterday because my youngest informed me he had to go potty and we were no where near a good place to go and I remembered we were a few blocks from the library. Their book sale room is right by the restrooms and nothing was over a $1. I was so tempted to pick up some audio books, but none of the titles looked kid friendly, but I am keeping it in mind for the future. Your garage sales reminded me of that (not the son having to go potty part!).
LOL – I rearelt find audio books at garage sales so this was a fun surprise! I didnt get their right away either so who knows how many great ones sold before I got there… 😀
I got Eat the City last week as well, I’m really looking forward to it.
I am too Ryan!
Foodie memoirs are my favorite too. I think they’re probably the hardest genre to write. Enjoy your Sunday!
Looks like you got a lot of fun books to read! I hope they’re all fabulous!
I thought Yes Chef – the story is very interesting.
I just ordered yes chef from the library
Fantastic! I am really enjoying it and picking up on some great recipes.
Good going on the cleanse, sounds a lot more courageous than things I’ve tried. I’ve got Eat The City too, it sounded really interesting (and I must admit that my own focus on eating healthily played a part in me wanting to read it).
