Mailbox Monday is a favorite meme hosted by Marcia over at The Printed Page. Here is her explanation of Mailbox Monday: "Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week (checked out library books don’t count, eBooks & audio books do). Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists." Yes it does lead to toppling TBR piles! I am living proof of that! Go on over to The Printed Page and play along! It's quite fun!
I had a slow week this week which I was very thankful for! I need to get caught up on my reading!
First off is The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes From An Accidental Country Girl by Ree Drummond. Have you ever gone to The Pioneer Woman's Blog? If you haven't you need to go right now! The recipes are to die for! I have been waiting for this cookbook for quite a while. I ordered it and it was back ordered. Yep it's that good that it was sold out! I waited for a month for it! It was worth the wait! I made Buttermilk Biscuits yesterday from the cookbook. They were yummy. Unfortunately they didn't last long enough for a photo. I have made recipes from her blog. I highly recommend Marlboro Man's Favorite Sandwich and the Crash Hot Potatoes! Both are much loved in this house! Check out her cookbook and the blog!
Next up is Winter Garden by Kristin Hannah. I love the cover on this book. There is a butterfly in a wintry scene. Kind of intriguing if you ask me. I won this from Librarything Early Readers in November. It too took awhile getting here but so far is worth the wait.
What books made their way into your home?
Ooh, Kristin Hannah. If it is like her usual, best have the Kleenex box ready. Her books are so good and yes, it is a beautiful cover. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe PW blog is fantastic! I love it. A dear friend and neighbor gave me the cookbook last week as a thank you gift. She's the mom of 5 (three are 2 year old triplet boys) and I help her one day each week. It's a lot of fun. I would give the cookbook to anyone as a gift. It's fab. Love her sense of humor!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute cookbook! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great book week! I love The Pioneer Woman Cooks!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous of Winter Garden - I can't wait until this one comes out. Enjoy!

I, too, am looking forward to Winter Garden - I read Kristin Hannah for the first time in the fall (Firefly Summer) and LOVED it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books!
That cover of Winter Garden is beautiful and I bet the recipes from Pioneer Woman are great! Yum yum!
ReplyDeleteThe Pioneer Woman Cookbook sounds wonderful. I got the Winter Garden as well and the cover is beautiful. I am finding that books from Library Thing Early Reviewers are taking a few months to arrive.
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to read something by Kristin Hannah soon...enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read Kristin Hannah but I have to agree I love that cover. I know I'm not supposed to judge a book by its cover but I might have to read it.
ReplyDeleteThe Pioneer Cookbook looks terrific. Hope you review this! Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteI love the Pioneer Women Cooks Blog. Her large quantity of pictures provides such enjoyment and aides in cooking what she shares. Seriously. I've been following her for years.
ReplyDeleteOooo, you've received some great books. Enjoy!
