by
O'Connor, Jane,
Glasser, Robin Preiss

Instead of hello, try bonjour, which is French and so much fancier. An umbrella will keep you dry, but a parasol will make you feel like a Hollywood movie star With this helpful A-to-Z guide, Fancy Nancy shows that making plain words into fancy ones is not only educational, it's fun |

The Third Angel
by
Hoffman, Alice
"Alice Hoffman is my favorite writer."
-Jodi Picoult Alice Hoffman is one of our most beloved writers. Here on Earth was an Oprah Book Club selection. Practical Magic and Aquamarine were both bestselling books and Hollywood movies. Her novels have received mention as notable books of the year by the "New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, the Los Angeles Times," and "People" magazine, and her short fiction and nonfiction have appeared in the "New York Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, Kenyon Review, Redbook, Architectural Digest, Gourmet, "and "Self,"
Now, in "The Third Angel," Hoffman weaves a magical and stunningly original story that charts the lives of three women in love with the wrong men. Brilliantly evoking London's King's Road, Knightsbridge, and Kensington while moving effortlessly back in time, "The Third Angel" is a work of startling beauty about the unique, alchemical nature of love. |

Never Too Old to Knit: Beautiful Basics for Baby Boomers
by
Strom, Karin
With more people than ever interested in knitting, there have been many volumes to teach newcomers the basics and reeducate the lapsed. But none has targeted the mature audience...until now. Designed with larger type for easy readability, with a stay-open hidden spiral for ease of use, and with 30 projects designed by over-50-year-olds for their peers, "Never Too Old to Knit" will reach this eager, untapped market. It includes a discussion--with medical statements from experts--of knitting's many health and stress-relief benefits; the therapeutic advantages range from increased mental and creative stimulation to an improved social life as knitters gather together to work and chat. Clearly illustrated instructions present all the basics, from casting on to completing simple garments, so both novice and returning knitters can start stitching immediately. And because more-advanced techniques are covered too, the book becomes a valuable reference as skills improve. The appealing--and portable--projects all feature beautiful colors and textures, yet none are very difficult to complete."A Selection of the Crafters Choice Book Club." |

Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
by
Kingsolver, Barbara,
Kingsolver, Camille
“Tracing the food year,
Kingsolver—with her characteristic candor,
poetry, and grace—brings us meditations on
asparagus, turkeys, tomatoes, and mulch as she
and her family try to eat locally as much as they
can. This is a distinct hybrid of The Omnivore’s
Dilemma, Under the Tuscan Sun, and Walden.”
—Matt Plies, Annie Bloom’s Books, Portland, OR |
