Listes de alicesneary

Nancy Pearl was on NPR today (listen here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111743357 and get excerpts), 20 August 2009. She gave a list of good mysteries you may have missed along the way, for that last hurrah of summer reading.

If you heard or read Nancy Pearl's recommendations on NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=105259115), here's a list for finding the titles at your library. The NPR site also includes audio excerpts.

These are the Value Tales books that I loved as a child. My parents are now sending us batches of them in flat rate boxes, so that I can share them with my daughter. I wish more of the covers were here--they are great stories and are as vibrant today as they were in the '70s.

Gathering travel aids for upcoming vacation to Barcelona.

I am the baker; Val is the dinner-maker. But between both of us, we eat well and it would appear that we like to cook! Granted, many of these cookbooks were gifts. Each one of them has earned its place on the cookery shelf.

A list of possible readings on early retirement. Who says GenX doesn't save?

Mostly nonfiction from January through June 2007.

Some of the current inspirational materials on my mental (and physical) bookshelf.
