book back track

I got these back in May on our trip to NYC!  I thought I had taken a bigger pic of the covers- sorry!
We have , both from the "Heartwarming Life Series" ( l0ve that!),
on the left - Layered one Piece - ISBN978-4-529-04560-5
and on the right- its all in Japanese! ISBN978-4-529-04629-9
And as usual, can't seem to fix this "cutting off images at the right"  problem...

I took these pics last week on the porch, the same time as the Lotta book, as the light is all dappled and summery.  Think of it that way as opposed to it being not great light for photos-;)
I love these books!  I love all the layers and baggy dresses over pants and leggings- So cozy and cute.

• Saw the movie "Away we Go" on the weekend- it was so sweet!  I loved it!  Then on the walk home, Paul bought a hat and I bought a bunch of sunflowers.
• Watching season two of 30 Rock!  Boy all I want to do is watch funny shows and this one is wonderful , but I don't need to tell you that!  It's common knowledge.
• Speaking of hilarious, have you seen The IT Crowd yet??  Oh Ma Gah, LOVE IT.

Ok- I know it's summer. I AM doing more than watching TV and movies, I promise.  Not MUCH more, but I am.  There has been copious amounts of reading on the porch and eating garlic-y olive oil-y tomatoe-y  pasta dishes too.

Book's I have devoured lately:

• Belong to Me - What a great book!  I won't tell you anything about it other than it was a clever, winding tale with an ending I did not expect!  It is a continuation of the lives of the people in her her first book, Love Walked In , which I also just loved.
  
• Circle of Quilters - I just happened upon this book in the library and grabbed it based on the cover and the word "quilt" in the title. Not dissapointed!  It was a really easy and comfortable read. My kind of book, ll about women's lives and bonus, she seems ot have a ton more for me to read.
• Tea time for the Traditionally Built and the Miracle at Speedy Motors - How is this guy so prolific?? I can barely keep up, but I still love to read his books.  I have even caught a few episodes of the new show  and it's just as lovely as the books.
• This Charming Man Do not judge this book by its wretched cover here. ( My copy had this nice cover here ) I could not put it down.  I am a big Marian Keyes fan already and this book had her trademark serious subject matter mixed with hilarious Irish-isms.  Read it!  Quite a chilling depiction of alcohalism and domestic abuse.

Good to see the IT Crowd has made it over the ocean. Did you ever see Father Ted? It's written by the same man and is a classic of British TV!
