Monday Recommendations

Monday Recommendation List

I am trying something new this week. As this blog grows, old recommendations seems to get lost in the shuffle. Therefore, I’m going to post a random list of 10 books each Monday. Each book on this list will be one that I have read and enjoyed enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase. As you have most likely deduced, my taste is quite varied, so there should be something for everyone.

Be bold and just choose randomly! Or stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

Let me know what you think!!

This weeks 10 recommendations (in no particular order):

1.      Fun for the health conscious food lover: Eat This, Not That by David Zinczenko (several variations of this book)
