Thursday Thirteen 7/27/06


Thirteen books I have purchased recently

Confession: I make far too many visits to Amazon.com and I probably have far too many books. But I love reading and love the feel of a new book. So since my recent escapades left me too tired to come up with a more creative Thursday Thirteen, I thought I’d share 13 of my recent book purchases. (All the books are “clickable” in case you’d like to check any of them out further!)

1. C. has thoroughly enjoyed this book.

2. Because I’d like to entertain more, but need a little encouragement along the way.

3. Because I’m always up for reading a book that helps dispel the “myths of motherhood.”

4. Because parenting has shaped my soul in so many ways and this book reminds me of that.

5. To add to my never-ending pile of “how to write” books; this one looked fun.

6. Because this is so important.

7. Just because I’m going through the baby stage for the first time in almost 8 years, and I’ve forgotten so much.

8. I’m thoroughly enjoying this cookbook.

9. I love culinary mysteries!

10. I’ve stayed up late many nights reading Harlan Coben’s page-turners.

11. My guys really liked the Cheesy Meatloaf recipe in this book.

12. All about infusing your family with Love, Loyalty, Fun, Growth, and Faith.

13. Haven’t made any of these recipes yet, but my husband has requested Pecan Pie Brownies, so that’s first on my list. And just because it starts with a mix doesn’t mean it’s not homemade!

    I have #7! It’s so great the way they indexed everything and made subjects easy to find . . . especially in an emergency. Happy T13!

    I think the brownie one might be dangerous. :)

  5. Jennifer says:

    Yeah, the brownie one looks great, too, and I love my Cover and Bake. Try the potato, bacon and egg casserole. Yum!

    The books look good, enjoy!
    My TT is up

  7. modern princess says:

    Oooh. I want to order some of those books now. Especially the brownie one! I’ll have to wait till after my pregnancy though. I’d end up over indulging and my blood sugar would skyrocket.

  8. KarenW says:

    Those look like great books!

  9. Tess Termulo says:

  10. Susanne says:

    Heading to the library website to see if I can put some of these on hold. Thanks for the ideas!

  11. Michelle- This One's For The Girls says:

    These all looked great. Tell us about the hospitality and the writing books. Inquiring minds…

  12. Southern Girl says:

    Ooo, I’m a big reader, too, so I loved this list! I read that Diane Mott book recently and really loved it.

    My TT is up: http://southern-born-and-bred.blogspot.com

    Oh my, books are such a black hole for me as well. Thankfully, with Amazon, I do more window shopping and placing things on my wishlist than actual purchasing. Put me in a bookstore though, and we’re in trouble :) Several of these look good, and I love that you linked them – thank you very much!

    Oh, and if you make any of the brownie ones and they turn out good, would you considering posting?! Those Pecan Pie ones sound delish!! :)

    Have a wonderful day, my T13 is up too…

  14. Crayonsetc says:

    Ok, a few of those look really good. I might have to see if I can get them at the library!!

    Happy TT

  15. Tami says:

    These look like great books, especially the cookbooks.

  16. Lady Jane says:

    I love to read, so my list this week is about books too! :) The brownie cookbook looks delicious! I love really fudgy ones.

  17. Christina says:

    Enjoy your new books! The One Bite Won’t Kill You one looks hilarious.

  18. armywife says:

    you can never have too many books. as for the cover and bake, does it have lots of pictures (i never cook anything from cookbooks that don’t show me what it should look like).

    my TT is up now too

  19. Gail says:

    Oh books, love books! #2 looks good and I really dig that last one on brownies, yummy!
