How do you pick just one book? I think if I had to narrow it down to a single book, it would be Her Fearful Symmetry, by Audrey Niffenegger. Or… maybe Stephen Fry in America: Fifty States and the Man Who Set Out to See Them All. Or… well, my list is long. We’ll leave it there. Suffice to say, bookends would be not only be a beautiful addition to our living room/library, but very useful!

I am a huge Jen Lancaster fan….and she has a new one coming out this year. If you haven’t checked her out, you should read her first book …”Bitter is the New Black: Confessions of a Condescending, Egomanical, Self-Centered, Smartass, or Why You Should Never Carry a Prada Bag to the Unemployment Office.”

Trail of Crumbs… I have already read it and found it to be so inspiring. It almost made me want to learn to cook. This year I am finally learning how to cook and am loving it. Maybe the book will help me feel extra inspired in the kitchen.

The Brothers Karamazov.

I’ve started the darn thing three times in the past couple of years and have always been waylaid by lighter fare and a busy schedule. I have a pretty little book cover and bookmark so it should be portable and protected and no one will interrupt me by telling me how much they enjoyed it or by asking me why I’d want to read “that”. :-)

I plan to read “Since Strangling Isn’t An Option…Dealing With Difficult People – Common Problems and Uncommon Solutions” by Sandra A Crowe. My mother sent this to me after my husband of 20 years walked out the door two months ago and left me with three kids, because he was “done” and every time I see him all I can think about is strangling him – so hopefully this book will give me some insight and ideas on how to handle this situation and others as well –

Oh, that’s a very good question! On my to read list for the next few weeks are “Cloud Atlas” by David Mitchell, “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak and (as a re-reading of a classic ;)) “The Princess Bride” by William Goldman, all recommended by well trusted friends.

it may not be top-top of the list, but pride and prejudice and zombies definitely gnaws on my geeky, yet succulent brain as a sleeper-hit. basically, it’s a no-brainer!

I LOVE Unemployed Designer’s work. Especially her vegetable tanned leather case… so gorgeous and eco leather too. And these bookends? Fabulous.

Top of my list this year is Outliers by Malcom Gladwell. When I find the time, I relish reading non fiction. I just started needle felting. According to Gladwell’s “10,000-Hour Rule”, I need to put in another 9,800 hours before I “succeed in it” (approximately). I need to figure this out.
