How was everyone's weekend? After a rainy weekend last weekend we got another gloriously sunny weekend! We ended up having a pretty relaxing weekend which is always nice but we ended it on a high note by having dinner at an underground restaurant. Do you have these in your cities? The one we ate at is called Lazy Bear and it is always in our neighborhood but we just heard about it. They host it in a different location every month but only host dinner for two nights a month and you have to sign up in advance to get in. Normally, I would think it was too much work to go out to dinner but since it was supposed to be the best food in the city I thought I would give it a try and guess what? It was great and cool and a totally unusual experience!
Oh that's right, you came here for books, not food! Ok as usual I am totally overwhelmed by the amount of books I received! Here's what came in this week:
From Random House:
1. Paris in Love by Eloisa James
From Putnam:
2. The Song Remains the Same by Allison Winn Scotch
From Atria:
3. There Goes the Bride by Holly McQueen
From BlueBridge:
4. Mr. Langshaw's Square Piano: The Story of the First Piano and How They Caused a Cultural Revolution by Madeline Goold
From Ballantine Books:
5. Point, Click, Love by Molly Shapiro
From PBS:
6. The Brightest Star in the Sky by Marian Keyes
7. Homecoming by Cathy Kelly
What did you get?
I can't wait to hear what you think about the Allison Winn Scotch book! I've never heard about underground restaurants, but then again, I don't get out much. ;)
ReplyDeleteThis was the first one I had ever been to. They are also called 'pop up' restaurants. I recommend them!
DeleteI thought Brightest Star was one of Keyes' best. Hope you like it!
ReplyDeleteoooh, a new Marian Keyes book! hope she still is as funny as ever!
ReplyDeleteYup I want those :)
ReplyDeletehappy reading½
Enjoy your new books!
ReplyDeleteParis In Love sounds like something for my TBR pile. Have a fun reading week.
ReplyDeleteGoodness that IS a lot of books. I like the cover of the Paris one (dogs!) and I am most intrigued by the piano book. Do you play? I took lessons but didn't get very far. I used to be able to play the Entertainer but have lost everything after the first .. phrase? line? See, I wanted to be more musically-inclined but just didn't have the discipline. I was an odd child thinking everything was black and white. If I couldn't learn in one sitting, I gave up and decided I just didn't have the talent.
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't request the Piano book, a publisher just sent it to me but it looks interesting. I took piano lessons in school but I didn't like it. I think it would have been cool if I had learned how to play though!
DeleteGreat list of books! Paris is Love looks great. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteI am adding the Piano book to Goodreads! That looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books. Enjoy!
