Thursday's Books { 2 }
I only got two books this week. I was in a super big hurry and so just returned some and grabbed these two reserves that had come in. My husband, Rory recommended the top one {Born Under A Million Shadows} to me. He just finished listening to it. He commutes and so most of his books are 'read' in audio form now ...
I had just finished the book I was reading not 30 minutes before going to the library and was glad for a new one that I knew would be good. {Does anyone else hate finishing a good book and then starting another one that isn't as good ?}
I'm excited about looking through The Flexitarian Table. Do you know what a flexitarian is ? 1. A person who is mainly a vegetarian but who occasionally eats fish or meat. 2. Someone who is not a vegetarian but enjoys meatless meals.
I am a flexitarian ! I love meatless meals ... but I'm not a vegetarian.
Last weeks books: I haven't read the novels yet. I have finished one that I had checked out the previous week and I'll review that here soon. You'll want to read it ... it was great.
The three cookbooks:
The Lygon St book: I've checked this one out before and was not overly impressed with it. I thought that I'd give it another go since I've now eaten on Lygon St ! But ... still couldn't get into it. If you are a history buff, you will probably love it. I am about as far from a history buff as you can get ...
The Movida Cocina book ... LOVED IT. Would love to own in, but realistically, there are probably only a few recipes we will try and so will probably just try them and then be content to check it out from the library again if I ever want to try something different.
Michelle Obamas book ... didn't like it. Too much boring stuff. I would have liked it to be much simpler, with more pictures and 'how to's'. Maybe I didn't give it enough of a chance but I guess that's it with this sort of book, if it doesn't catch my interest straight away, I move on to something that does.
That's it for Thursday's Books this week. Would love to see your pile of books ! Just take a photo of your library books ... post it somewhere ...
anywhere (!) ... facebook, instagram, flickr, photobucket ... your blog
... and then come leave me a comment so I can come see.
So, tell me ... what are you reading ? And have you visited your library lately ?
