The Book Round-up part one

I have been reading, just not blogging....

I have found lately that I can barely keep up with my library requests, they are coming in fast and furious. Not sure if others are reading less?

Anyways.... my recommendations of the week:

I Am Filled with Heavenly Treasures (CD) - The Enfield Shaker Singers
Simple Gifts: (CD) The Boston Camerata

both very good recordings, the stomping and singing sounded a little scarily powerful. I just visited the Shaker Village of Canterbury, NH last week - and I could picture these songs being sung and danced to. Catchy! =)

Simple Gifts: Lessons in Living From a Shaker Village - June Spriggs
A Great tale of life with the Canterbury Shakers - June lived in the village for the few years before they dissolved. Again, even better if you have visited there and seen the buildings for yourself!

Life: Selected Quotations - Paul Coehlo
I'm on a Coelho kick right now - a good book of basic quotations form his works. More relevant after I read his longer works, I think!

I'm in for a few cold days of reading on the couch while Maille uses the playdoh. Winter is here!
