Okay, not gonna lie: in winter 2011 I watched a LOT of TV. I got really sick in January (and again in February, and again in March) and each time I watched a lot of TV on DVD. Plus, you know, Downton Abbey premiered, so I was a bit preoccupied on Sunday evenings.
Either way, here are my winter reads--now with commentary!:
December 2010
The Kitchen House--Kathleen Grissom
The Heir--Grace Burrowes (this was supposed to be for romance novel book club, but we still haven't met to discuss this book. We did, however, read aloud during whoopie pie baking. So, maybe that was more appropriate. Also: all the reviews said it was clever, witty, etc. It was not.)
At Home--Bill Bryson
The Committment--Dan Savage
January 2011
Remarkable Creatures--Tracy Chevalier
The Help--Kathryn Stockett
Catching Fire--Suzanne Collins
Ransom--Julie Garwood
The Sherlockian--Graham Moore
Barely a Lady-- Eileen Dryer
February 2011:
Finger Lickin' Fifteen--Janet Evanovich
The Witness House--Christiane Kohl
The Romanov Bride--Robert Alexander (this actually inspired me to learn more about Russia! Woo historical fiction!)
Three Fates--Nora Roberts (ugh. Stop taking book recs from coworkers.)
March 2011:
Sizzling Sixteen--Janet Evanovich
Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer--Novella Carpenter
The Bucolic Plague: How Two Manhattanites Became Gentleman Farmers: An Unconventional Memoir--Josh Kilmer-Purcell
The Book Thief--Marcus Zusak (AMAZING.)
Radical Homemakers: Reclaiming Domesticity from Consumer Culture--Shannon Hayes
Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness--Lisa K. Hamilton
