This week has been full of fun deliveries we can’t wait to share with you. Here’s a sampling from different departments:
1. Magazines- What is a summer by the pool without fabulous magazines. We just received Living Etc. which is my latest addiction (blame it on the nesting). It’s a British design publication that gives off the Domino vibe (a mag grab we have sorely missed). We also received the latest edition of Garden and Gun, featuring the Secret South: An Insider’s Guide to Pie Shops, BBQ joints, beaches… ; a letter from Harper Lee; and the Greatest Gun Story Ever Told.
2. Music – Our latest installment of NPR selection CDs came in today and I shamelessly bought all of them (and I don’t buy CDs). But they were too tempting and I’m busy now downloading them onto the Bookshelf playlist. Here’s what we got: Carole King and James Taylor’s Live at the Troubadour (cd and dvd), Bettye Lavette’s Interpretations: The British Rock Songbook, Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim’s Complete Reprise Recordings, Beth Nielsen Chapman’s Back to Love, Audra Mae’s The Happiest Lamb, and Courtyard Hounds (former Dixie Chicks duo).
3. Books- Charles Martin’s latest The Mountain Between Us released Tuesday and your local booksellers agree– it’s his best yet. We are also anxious to read a recommendation of one of our favorite customer recommenders– The Kitchen House. We’ve stocked up on plenty of other fabulous finish-it-on-the-beach reads, as well as required reading for the kids.
