What books came into your house last week? Four books made their way into my house:
Coco Chanel: An Illustrated Biography (Library of Luminaries) by Zena Alkayat (Author) and Nina Cosford (Illustrator), published by Chronicle Books. Très belle! Très chic!
Bloody Marys: Sanguine Solutions for a Slew of Situations by Judy Bennett. Recipes and hilarity.
Where the Wind Dreams of Staying:Searching for Purpose and Place in the West by Eric Dieterle. A new memoir, published by OSU Press.
The Jewish Oregon Story, 1950-2010 by Ellen Eisenberg, also published by OSU Press.

My Mailbox Monday
I like the idea of an illustrated biography, and the one with the recipes....
ReplyDeleteHi Gilion,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great mix of storylines this week, although like Elizabeth, I was also captivated by the powerful cover art of 'Where The Wind Dreams Of Staying'.
Whilst I don't really drink and a Bloody Mary would be my worst nightmare of a cocktail, the book itself sounds hilarious and definitely one to be read when you have had one or two of the offending beverages :)
Enjoy all your new finds :)
