Library Book Sale!
This weekend is the Friends of the Public Library book sale, and that means
one thing: cheap books for a great cause! I brought home five books from the
sale today, and thought I'd share a list of my finds. If anything, this will
show my wide variety of interest area in books :)

1. Comfort Food by Kate Jacobs: I really enjoyed The Friday Night Knitting Club, and love "foodie" books, so I thought I'd give this one a try!

2. Henry's Sisters by Cathy Lamb: Lamb's The Last Time I Was Me is a favorite of mine, so I've been working my way through all her books. Excited to find this one I wasn't aware of!

3. Miss Understanding by Stephanie Lessing: This one had very mixed reviews on Good Reads...but for 75 cents a book, why not? I love a chick lit read every now and then!

4. The Freedom Writers Diary byErin Gruwell, and The Freedom Writers: a book about an influential English teacher who used books and writing to give her students hope. Working in education, this is a book I was familiar with but hadn't read yet.

5. Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes: Of course I've seen the movie, but haven't managed to read the book yet! I've recently become interested in Italy since watching The Brian Boitano Project on HGTV, where he remodels a crumbling family home in the hills of Italy. I also recently read Beautiful Ruins by Jess Walter, set (for the most part) in Italy. So I couldn't resist picking up this one!
What are you reading this weekend? Pick up any new books at the book store, book sale, or library?
Happy Reading!

I really want to read The Freedom Writers...I love the movie despite my irrational dislike of Hilary Swank.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the movie, but heard of it of course. I'm sure the book is better :) I'll let you borrow when I'm done :)
ReplyDeleteSounds great! Would you like to borrow the movie? :)
