Busy Week Recommends

It has been a very busy week. I want to make some recommends for those long and busy weeks when you might want a few creature comforts!

Ok I have discovered a nice red wine. Not expensive and not heavy. Columbia-Crest two vines has a Vineyard 10 red. It's smooth and light which makes it good for summer.

I just finished John Green's book "The Fault in our Stars." I hear it's being made into a movie. Super well done. Other book-movie combos worth seeing--"One Day," "Hugo," "Under the Tuscan Sun," and "Holes."

Don't be giving up on the YA books. I know so many adults diving into young adult lit. Check out anything by Gabrielle Zevin's books, the rest of Suzanne Collins books, a cute book about (and yes, with recipes) Pie, anything by David Levithan (and his co-authors), and the Maggie Stiefvater various series.

Totally loving the Cheers bubble bath wash by Philosophy. Totally yummy. http://www.philosophy.com/party-girl/cheers-gel-product

Guys? Find a good old fashioned barber and get a good shave.

Had the most amazing fish, fried flounder with asparagus at Station 22 restaurant on Sullivan's Island, SC. Add the spinach and goat cheese salad or she-crab soup and some wine, and it is heaven!

Seattle Public Library has a book recommendation service, personal recommendations from a librarian. Way cool: http://www.spl.org/using-the-library/get-help/your-next-5-books

Hunger Games lover? Check out this ALA poster: http://www.alastore.ala.org/detail.aspx?ID=3650

Spotify.com can give you some great recs for music. So far I'm enjoying the mixes other people are making. This week's fav song comes from my friend Ellen and my 4 year old Goddaughter, Kate. Find "Home" by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes.

All these fav things are making for my busy week a good week. Salut!
