The Legend's Club

John Feinstein's book is being published just in time for March Madness, a perfect time for any basketball fan to watch - and read about - their favorite sport.  

The Legend's Club: Dean Smith, Mike Kryzewski, Jim Valvano, and an Epic College Basketball Rivalry is a book that instantly made me think of my father who spent his weekends watching college basketball during my childhood.  Kryzewski, Valvano, and Smith are all names I am familiar with, although Feinstein's book goes into much greater depth and detail than the little information I had previously known.

A true basketball lover will eat this book up.  My dad would enjoy every last word because it is a familiar story to him with more details added in.  I don't have nearly the depth of knowledge of this time period in sports or these teams, but I still enjoyed learning more about these three iconic coaches and their teams and relationship with each other. 

Feinstein never disappoints, and this latest book is a perfect addition to his body of work that centers around sports.

Sunday Salon: Destruction Edition

Weather always seem like a safe topic to talk about. We've had some fantastic spring-like weather this past week. It might be a little premature to think that winter is on its way out, but I've loved this little teaser of what is to come.

This is Little Sister's iPod. It's just one thing that broke this past week.  I got a call from Little Sister on Thursday while I was working at school. She was sobbing about the fact that her iPod screen shattered.  Yes, it did.

Since then Big Sister's phone has also broken. We can't figure out what is wrong with it, so I'll need to take it in to be fixed.  Crossed fingers.  If it can't be fixed, I'm not sure exactly what our next step is, but it probably involves money.

And Dottie, my lovely dog,  ate one of my favorite pair of shoes.  Sigh.  

I'll admit these are all fairly minor annoyances, but it is making me crabby. 

The past week I had something every singe night: two nights of working at parent/teacher conferences, high school orientation for Big Sister (not possible!), a confirmation meeting for Big Sister (coming up in just three short weeks), and on Friday night attending a Michael W. Smith concert with my girls, and my sister and her family.

I fell in love with Michael W. Smith's music in college and still love it.  Seeing him again in concert was great - hard to believe he is 58!  And a grandfather!  

I've done grocery shopping and a little organizing for our upcoming week, which shouldn't be as crazy as the past week in terms of nighttime commitments. 

However, this week is a busy week at school.  In celebration of Leap Day tomorrow we are having some prize giveaways and activities to promote perfect attendance.  On Wednesday in honor of Dr. Seuss' birthday, I am dressing up as Thing 1 at school.  I can hardly wait to wear a blue wig all day.  And a tutu.

I'd like to think I'll get a little reading done, and perhaps even a little running. I'm enjoying my treadmill book a great deal right now. 

It's almost time to think about supper here. I've got a loaf of beer bread in the oven, and am planning on making some chicken and wild rice soon.  After that, it will be time to think for about the coming week.

How are you spending your weekend?

Friday Five

I must not be shopping online as much because I've had a hard time finding things to share this week.  I don't doubt there are wonderful spring things out there, but I have been limited in my time, which also saves me some unneeded "wanting" for things I don't truly need.

Here are five of the things that I did find:

1. New Balance Buffalo Plaid Sneakers

I've been looking for a black pair of sneakers and as soon as I saw the words 'buffalo plaid' I knew they were calling my name.
2. Tencel Utility Vest

I have a vest very similar to this from Old Navy in an olive color, but I love the gray as well.
3.  Lulu Lemon Houndstooth Leggings

I borrowed this photo from LuluAddict.com which is the only place I can find an accurate picture of the leggings I bought at Lululemon.  Love the houndstooth.

4. Fuller House on Netflix

We have  busy weekend coming up, but I am so wanting to sit down and watch some Fuller House.


5.  Flutter Top

  
This flutter top is at JCrew right now in a variety of colors.  Simple but something I could wear to work or with a pair of jeans or shorts.

So, what's caught your eye this week?

TLC Book Tour: Free Men

Free Men by Katy Simpson Smith is another novel by the author of The Story of Land and Sea (a novel I still have sitting on my TBR list).  

Free Men is the story of three men who come upon each other by chance. They form a friendship that would not occur in most situations in 1788, but because of their circumstances, develops naturally. Cat, a white man, Bob, a slave who is trying to find freedom, and Istillicha an Indian who has left his tribe, all come together out of need.

A fourth man, Le Clerc, is an investigator who is looking for the three men who have committed a terrible crime after an opportunity presents itself.

I am always intrigued by historical fiction novels, especially when there are real life events they are centered around.  Free Men does a great job of bringing things to life.

Smith's writing is beautiful. I often race through books, not appreciating the writing, but I found myself stopping from time to time to take note of an especially beautiful phrase or description.

This book is already receiving rave reviews, which is understandable.  I do love historical fiction, but generally read historical fiction that happens in the Civil War days or later in time, so this time period was a bit of a stretch for me personally. Even with that to consider, this book's writing and story were entertaining and easy to get into.

This is another great piece of literature from Katy Simpson Smith and I'm wondering what she will be publishing next.

I was sent this book to be a part of the TLC Book Tour. All opinions expressed are my own.

This week's pick: Happy Family by Tracy Barone
Due out:  May 24, 2016


Product Information taken from Amazon:

In Tracy Barone's mordantly funny debut, a fiercely independent woman is forced to come to terms with the family who raised her, the one who gave her away and the one she desperately wants.

Trenton, New Jersey, 1962: A pregnant girl staggers into a health clinic, gives birth, and flees. A foster family takes the baby in, and an unlikely couple, their lives unspooling from a recent tragedy, hastily adopts her.

Forty years and many secrets and lies later, Cheri Matzner is all grown up and falling apart. Ironic and unapologetic, she's a former cop-turned-disgruntled academic, a frustrated wife trying to get pregnant, an iconoclastic daughter bearing war-wounds from her overbearing mother and the deeply flawed by well-meaning father who has been dead for several years. Thrust into an odyssey of acceptance, Cheri discovers that sometimes it takes half a lifetime to come of age.

River Road

Carol Goodman's The Lake of Dead Languages is still a book I recommend to people looking for a good suspenseful read.  I love that book, and her others as well. After a few years away from the suspense genre, I was excited to see River Road coming out in January.

Goodman loves the college setting, so it is no surprise that Nan, her protagonist, teaches at a small state college.  She is still struggling six years after the death of her four year old daughter, and still blaming herself.  She drinks more than she should as a means of escape and hasn't written a word since the tragic day her daughter died.

It doesnt' seem thing could get much worse, until she is accused of having hit a college student whose body is found lying along the road the morning after Nan hit a deer (which explains the damage to her car).

Nan's memory of that evening are a bit foggy, but she is sure she didn't have so much to drink that she couldn't tell the difference between a person and an animal, especially since she got out of her car and walked around attempting to find the deer.

Typical of Goodman, there is more going on in this story and plenty of secrets to uncover.

There are a few things that are perhaps too convenient, and I was able to solve the mystery of who was guilty of killing the student long before Goodman revealed it. However, I love Goodman's writing and this was a book I could easily get into and enjoy.

Last In A Long Line of Rebels

There are so many amazing books being published. And there are so many authors out there that are already well known.  I am constantly looking for the debut novelist who has written an amazing book, but whose work is not getting the recognition it deserves.  

Last In a Long Line of Rebels is a debut novel by Lisa Lewis Tyre that is a great tween/middle grade novel set in the present day, weaving the past into a suspenseful storyline.

Lou is part of an eccentric family living in a small town in Tennessee. While other kids talk about their summer trips, she has nothing exciting to say about her own life.  Except that she lives in a Civil War era house, full of secret rooms and memories of her ancestors that lived there as well.

When Lou finds out that her house is condemned and scheduled to be torn down, she is more than a little upset.  She is also determined that she will save her house from being destroyed.

Helping her are her friends who are just as unique as Lou, and just as full of mischief. Lou decides that she will find the gold coins that were buried years ago by one of her ancestors, and her home will be saved.

However, finding these coins isn't easy, and there are lots of problems along the way.

I enjoyed this book immensely. This is a great story full of plenty to laugh at and to talk about.  I'm hoping Lisa Lewis Tyre keeps writing; I can't wait to read her next book.

Friday Five: Thinking A Lot About Food

1.  Pop Chips

Unfortunately I could eat an entire family size bag of these in one sitting. They are delish!  And healthier than chips, but I'm pretty sure that if I eat an entire bag, any health benefits are negated.

2.  New England Brown Bread

I went and heard a dietitian speak a year ago, and even though I felt like I could pick out which bread was healthy, I had never heard of New England Brown Bread, which she really talked up.  This is the only type of bread I eat anymore, and my girls have even started eating it from time to time.

3.  Zum 

Middle Sister had me buy her a bar of Zum and fell in love with it.  I bought a second bar that smells like mint and it seriously makes our whole lower level of our house smell good. I am thinking I am buying a few more bars so my entire house can smell good

4.  Nashville

I just barely started this on Hulu, but I am hoping to enjoy it in a week or two. I've heard good things about this.

5.  Justin's Almond Butter

I've been using these individual almond butter packets as a way of keeping track of serving size, which does seem to help.

Apparently I haven't been doing much internet shopping, but I am mighty hungry and focused on food this week.

What's caught your eye this week?

The Marriage Pact

The Marriage Pact by M.J. Pullen is a book I had never heard of before, although it appears that this is a republished title from 2011.

I'm sorry I missed it back then, but I'm glad I managed to hear about it now- and I am even more excited to see that this is the first in a trilogy, each featuring a different friend who is dealing with something in their lives- and that the other two books are also already published, which means I won't have to wait to read them.

Marci is still trying to get her life together. She's just celebrated her thirtieth birthday, is working a temp job, and is dating her boss, who happens to be married.

This isn't at all what Marci envisioned for her life at this point, and as her family prepares for her younger sister's wedding, she despairs even more over the status of her life.

And then Jake, who is her best friend from college, reminds her of the marriage pact they made a decade ago: they would marry each other if they were still single at age 30. 

The story goes back to the time when Jake and Marci met in college, and returns to the present as Marci continues to wish for her married boyfriend to leave his wife.

This story is predictable, but still a good read. I loved the love story and romance in it, and I was OK with knowing how things would end.

The Marriage Pact is for those who love Emily Giffin or Jane Green, and I am hoping that this republication of it will get this book (and the ones that follow it) more publicity.

This week's pick:  The Assistants by Camille Perri
Due out: May 3, 2016

Product Description taken from Goodreads:

A wry and astute debut about a young Manhattanite whose embezzlement scam turns her into an unlikely advocate for the leagues of overeducated and underpaid assistants across the city. 
 
Tina Fontana is the hapless but brazen thirty-year-old executive assistant to Robert Barlow, the all-powerful and commanding CEO of Titan Corp., a multinational media conglomerate. She’s excellent at her job and beloved by her famous boss—but after six years of making his reservations for restaurants she’d never get into on her own and pouring his drinks from bottles that cost more than her rent, she’s bored, broke, and just a bit over it all.
 
When a technical error with Robert’s travel-and-expenses report presents Tina with the opportunity to pay off the entire balance of her student loan debt with what would essentially be pocket change for her boss, she struggles with the decision: She’s always played by the rules. But it’s such a relatively small amount of money for the Titan Corporation—and for her it would be a life-changer . . .
 
The Assistants speaks directly to a new generation of women who feel stuck and unable to get ahead playing by the rules. It will appeal to all of those who have ever asked themselves, “How is it that after all these years, we are still assistants?”

All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook

All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook is a great book for late elementary and tween readers.

Cook brings a plot to life, that although a little far-fetched, was enjoyable and though provoking.

Perry has spent his entire life with his mom in a correctional facility. He knows only a little about what happened to her before she was sentenced for manslaughter, but has always yearned to know more of the story.

Although his childhood is different from other kids his age, Perry is well loved by the residents at the minimum security prison where his mother is locked up, and has happy memories of running down the halls and making friends with others who are locked up.

All of a sudden Perry's life changes dramatically when the district attorney (who happens to be the step-father of Perry's best friend) discovers this unique arrangement and is sure that it is a less than desirable environment in which to raise a child.

Perry and his mom are separated as he is taken in by the DA and his family, which is only somewhat OK because he gets to be with his best friend.  

And now Perry's mom, who was supposed to be up for parole, is seeing her case stalled because the DA isn't sure that her sentence was served in the manner it was meant to be served since she had access to her son while other prisoners did not.

This novel is definitely one that will spark discussion between students, and would make a fantastic read aloud as well.  I loved it myself, and feel that the only negative thing I can say about it is the 380 page length may scare some readers away.

Platinum Doll

If it weren't for Madonna's song Vogue, I probably wouldn't even recognize the name Jean Harlow. However, name recognition counts for a lot, and when I saw that Platinum Doll was the fictionalized story of actress Jean Harlow I couldn't wait to learn more.

Harlean McGrew is just sixteen and married when she returns to Hollywood. She and her mother had tried their luck previously, but her mother didn't find the fame she sought.

Harlean has no intentions of finding fame, ready to be a wife, and eventually a mother.  But when she is recognized by studio executives when she is waiting for her friend Rosalie in the parking lot, fame finds her.  

Harlean becomes Jean Harlow, dies her hair a platinum blond and creates a name for herself.  Her husband Chuck has his own demons to deal with and is not prepared or equipped to have a wife that other men see as a sex symbol.  Harlean's mom quickly finds her way back to Hollywood with her second husband, where she does her best to help her daughter's rising star, even if it is at the cost of her daughter's marriage and happiness.

I was totally entranced by this story, which focuses on Jean Harlow's rise to fame, not covering the years after her divorce from Chuck McGrew, or her untimely death at the age of twenty six from kidney failure.

I loved the 1930s Hollywood that Girard created and the details she was able to bring to life at this time. 

This is a fantastic novel for those who love fictionalized biographies like The Aviator's Wife by Melanie Benjamin or Loving Frank by Nancy Horan.

Sunday Salon: Another Snowy Sunday

Today it is snowy and cold here. When I got up it was still calm, but by the time we needed to leave for church, it looked like a blizzard outside.  Now we are hunkered down on the couches, napping, reading, and relaxing.

This is the view on Monday when I drove to work.  We've had a couple days like this lately. Not much fun to drive in.

What I Need to Get Done Today:  Lesson plans, cooking for the week, and finishing my class assignment for a class I am taking to finish up my ESL endorsement.

What I Spent My Weekend Doing: volleyball, volleyball, volleyball.  Middle Sister had a volleyball tournament all day yesterday.  Once again they are the tournament champions.  Last night we went to see the latest Alvin and the Chipmunks movie at the dollar theater with my sister-in-law and nieces and nephew. 

What's Coming Up This Week:  Our second book club meeting takes place tomorrow night. We are discussing Gretchen Rubin's Better Than Before, which seemed like a safe pick to talk about since the group is made up of people who don't know each other well yet.   Later this week is the State Wrestling Tournament.  My husband leaves mid-week since he is a high school coach and his team has four wrestlers who qualified.  Our plan is to join him for the weekend.

What I've Finished Reading:  
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanathi which was superb. I also finished up Sarah Smiley's newest collection of her column that is set to be published in April.  

I received four boxes of books from Baker and Taylor this week at school. So, even though I already have too much to read, I am enjoying looking through all of them and setting a few aside for me to read.

What are you doing today?  Despite the busy-ness of yesterday, today has been fairy relaxing.

Friday Five

It's Friday!  Another week to check off in my countdown to spring.  I have been so busy this week that I haven't had a chance to think ahead about blogging, so this Friday Five is late - and it's almost a miracle it is being posted at all.

1.  Old Navy Gauze Pintuck Yoke Sleevless Top - I feel like this is a top I could wear in warm weather, and under cardigans in colder weather.  And it comes in a variety of colors. 

2.  Fun in the Sun Swim Short - I missed out on these last year and am still kicking myself.  Our spring break plans include a short trip to the Wisconsin Dells, so I am very ready to buy these for this year.

3.  Pocket Shift Skirt - I pinned this on my My Style board on Pinterest but although I love this skirt, it really isn't my style. Or more accurately, it isn't my color.  I love the skirt, but this is probably too red and eye-catching for me.  

4.  Lucky Brand Emmie Leather Flat - I found the best deal on a pair of Sorel boots a few weeks ago.  And then these ballet flats popped out at me.  They look super comfortable, so instead of just forgetting them, I'm still trying to justify needing them.

5.  Sunrise Patchwork Blouse - Sundance has an outlet for their sale items. This shirt is a fun change-up to the traditional plaid shirt.  

What did you find online this week?  Feel free to share!

Love Is In The Air With Harper Collins

Harper Collins made me feel loved this Valentines season, sending me a batch of new picture books to enjoy with my children.

These four new picture books have been a hit at home and would make great read alouds or gifts.

I Love You Already by Jory John and Benji Davies-  tells the story of two friends, Bear and Duck.  (These two remind me a bit of George and Martha, the hippos that I grew up reading about).  Duck wants to be friends with Bear, which means he wants to spend all his time with Bear.  Bear appears disinterested in spending any time with Duck, preferring to be by himself.  However, the two are still best friends.  This would make a great book to partner read because the dialog between the Bear and Duck is written in different fonts, making it easy to distinguish who is talking.  

Plant a Kiss by Amy Krouse Rosenthal -this one isn't exactly new; I have it in my library collection already. However, Harper Collins sent it to me in board book format which is perfect for younger readers.  The text is short, which is perfect for toddler readers, and the story is sweet.  And you can never go wrong with Rosenthal.

Pete the Cat's Groovy Guide to Love by Kimberly and James Dean - pretty much anything with Pete the Cat is guaranteed to be a hit. My students LOVE Pete.  I absolutely love this book, which is not a story, but is a book filled with quotes and sayings about love and life..  There is some great advice in this book.  I am already thinking that this will appear to my older students who are a little too old for Pete the Cat, but still love him and want to read his books.

Worm Loves Worm by J.J. Austrian, illustrated by Mike Curato - if you ever need help planning a wedding, Worm Loves Worm is a pretty good guide for what needs to be done.  Of course, the Worms have a little difficulty with following the general marriage guidelines - they have to wear their rings like necklaces because they have no fingers.  The bouquets must be attached with spider's sticky web because they can't hold them.  Despite these obstacles, the Worms find a way to be married, because after all, they are in love.

I'm excited to share these with students and predict I'll have a hard time keeping them on my shelves.  

Thanks to Harper Collins for providing review copies. The opinions expressed, are as always, my own.

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, highlighting books whose publication we are awaiting.

This week's pick:  The Total Package by Stephanie Evanovitch
Due out: March 15, 2016

Information taken from Goodreads:

The New York Times bestselling author of Big Girl Panties and The Sweet Spot is back with a funny, sweet, and sizzling novel about the game of love, in which a hot quarterback must figure out how to score big with a beautiful and talented media analyst after a heartbreaking fumble.

Star quarterback, first-round draft-pick, and heartthrob Tyson Palmer has made a name for himself with his spectacular moves. When the head coach of the Austin Mavericks refuses to let him waste his million-dollar arm, Tyson makes a Hail Mary pass at redemption and succeeds with everyone . . . except Dani, whose negative comments about his performance draw high ratings and spectacular notices of her own.

Dani can’t forgive Tyson’s transgressions or forget the sizzling history the two of them shared in college, a passionate love Tyson casually threw away. And even more infuriating, he doesn’t realize that the bombshell with huge ratings is the cute girl whose heart he once broke.

But can a woman trying to claw her way to the top and a quarterback who knows all about rock bottom make it to the Super Bowl without destroying each other? And what will happen when Tyson—riding high now that he’s revived his career—realizes he needs to make an even more important comeback with Dani? Can he make some spectacular moves to get past her defenses—or will she sideline him for good?

I'm Glad About You

I'm Glad About You is the Navajo's translation for I love you, because as a tribe there is no direct translation, and their belief is that no one can possess another.

In Theresa Rebeck's novel, I'm Glad About You high school sweethearts Alison and Kyle share the stories of their lives after their breakup.  

Alison has moved to New York to pursue her dreams of making it big as an actor. Kyle has chosen a more traditional life, becoming a pediatrician and marrying and having children.

As they enter their mid-late twenties, they both return home at various points running into each other.  

It is obvious that these two still have feelings for each other. Sometimes they long for the past, thinking fondly of each other.  Some conversations produce bitterness.  

The lives they lead seem lacking something, as though they would be better if they were together. And yet, time has passed and they are both in different places.

I found myself not liking Alison or Kyle very much at all. But I could also understand the way they still had feelings for each other, remembering how important they were to each other at one point.  Rebeck's novel shares a story that in some way or another most people can relate to.

There are rough spots in this novel.  I didn't especially care about the details of Alison's auditions or the scripts.  I had a hard time getting into this one as well, and it took a bit before I really was invested in the story.  

However, the way in which Kyle and Alison were still affected by each other even years after the break-up, kept me hopeful that they would either truly move on, or return to each other.  

Although this won't be on my Best of 2016 list, it is solid and entertaining.

The Things We Keep

The Things We Keep by Sally Hepworth is a book that is sure to get a lot of attention. (Although this review is posting after the book's release, I read it prior to the January 19 release date and am anxious to see if the thoughts I have about it mirror other readers').

This is a story that pulls at the hearstrings a lot.  Luke and Anna are two young people (Anna is thirty-eight) who have dementia and are in the same residential facility.  When they first meet each other their diseases had not progressed as far as they have over the fifteen months the book spans.  At that point they find themselves in a relationship with each other, determined to stay together until the end, even though they may not be aware of each other at that point.

The love story is sweet.

Eve, the cook at the residential facility, has found a job after her husband's suicide (and after they lost their fortune in a Ponzi-like scheme). She and her daughter are trying their best to make it on their own. She meets Anna and decides to help her and Luke's relationship continue despite their families' efforts to keep them apart.

I really liked this story.

But....

there are a few things that are improbable, at least in my opinion.

I am probably super-sensitive on the topic of Alzheimer's disease, having a father currently in the end stages (which, by the way, could go on for years considering he is in good shape physically).

Hepworth makes this disease seem romantic, and I can assure you that the experience my family has had has been anything but romantic.

Little comments like the one about Anna having less than a year left seem unlikely to me. Since she is young and in good health, her disease will most likely string on for years.  

Eve's interactions as a cook with the residents also seem unrealistic.  She becomes more involved in Anna's life than I have ever seen a residential home worker allowed to be.

However....

This is a work of fiction. And I did enjoy it. I don't want to discourage anyone from reading it, because I liked it myself.  It's easy to read and if you are in need of a good love story or a good cry, this will fit the bill.

Anyone else want to weigh in on this one?  Thoughts?

Sunday Salon: Super Bowl Edition

This is a late Sunday Salon post since we are just now getting back from a Super Bowl party. 

Once again, the two day weekend is just not long enough to feel refreshed and ready for a full week.

Yesterday Middle Sister had an all day volleyball tournament. We left the house before 6:30 AM and didn't get home until 6:30 PM.  The good news is that they won their tournament. There were some exciting games to watch!

Middle Sister is #8, her first time playing Libero.

Tomorrow is a professional development day at school. I'm looking forward to it, but we are now in a blizzard watch, which could make getting to school tomorrow difficult.  Have I mentioned that I'm ready for spring?

We had two snow days last week, that should have given me plenty of time to catch up with everything.  

The snow was beautiful and perfect for building a snowman and a fort.  It was truly a winter wonderland.  And I enjoyed my time off, but I didn't catch up on anything.

I've eaten too much food tonight, had some good conversations with friends, and watched (sort of) the Super Bowl.  Although I'm not prepared for tomorrow, Monday is on the way!

Friday Five: In-Between Seasons

Maybe it's the two snow days we had this week, but I am really feeling ready for spring. Especially when I see all the great spring clothes coming out.  

My school district's dress code doesn't allow us to wear open toed shoes, so as a result I own very few sandals any more- and those I do own are flip flops. I feel like I still need one nice pair of sandals for the summer.  Either of these two pairs would work for me:

1.  Berit Wedge Sandal

2.  Donald Pliner Fifi Sandals

Old Navy is back with their cute printed pixie ankle length pants.  I really liked this yellow pattern in person, but I don't think the picture does it justice.

3.  Pixie Mid Rise Printed Ankle Pants

While I was busy looking at spring clothes, I came across Garnet Hill's sale items.  This vest was $148 last year, but is marked down to $34 now.  I pinned it last year, and it is a ridiculously good deal right now, which means I am having a hard time talking myself out of needing it.

4.  Belted Faux Shearling Vest

5.  Portobello Sweater

This sweater is also on major discount right now, as are the other animal ones similar to it.

Just like the weather -which is winter-like now, but was spring-like last weekend- I'm caught between seasons. I can find a little bit from winter and spring that I'd love to wear.

What's caught your eye this week?
