What's New in New Books
     Some sentimental favorites arrived with this week's new books. The Quilter's Kitchen by Jennifer Chiaverini is the latest addition to the Elm Creek Quilts series. This little volume contains stories based on the popular Elm Creek novels and includes recipes to go along with them. Richard Paul Evans, author of The Gift and The Christmas Box, has written the story of a young runaway girl in Grace:A Novel. Our first new Christmas book  of the year is the latest in the Cape Light series by Thomas Kinkade and Katherine Spencer. A Christmas Star tells the story of a Cape Light family that faces homelessness right before the holidays.  Have a look at these new arrivals at your library.

Cooking Up the Good Life
       Those of you who are devoted fans of the Food Network have probably seen the exuberant, fast-talking English chef, Jamie Oliver on TV. His latest book, just arrived at the library, is a companion to the series Jamie At Home, and is filled with pictures of his own garden. This garden is the centerpiece of his shift to home-grown, seasonal, and local ingredients with an emphasis on simplicity and clean, fresh flavors. Needless to say, this is essentially a vegetable cookbook, but vegetables cooked Jamie's way are usually so good, you could eat a big plate just by themselves! Healthy and waistline-friendly cooking that is easy and delicious-now isn't that the good life.

Just Finished Reading...
     The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory. If you're a fan of the new Showtime series The Tudors, you might like this book. It tells the story of Henry the Eighth's second and turbulent marriage to Anne Boleyn, but through the eyes of her younger sister, Mary. Mary was a real person, and she was present at the court of Henry, although not much is known about her. Gregory has used a combination of historical facts and her own imagination to create a detailed picture of 16th century England and its volatile royal family. This book was also recently made into a film of the same name by director Justin Chadwick with Natalie Portman and Scarlet Johansson as the two sisters.
