2012 sped by for me! I'd like to wish all of my readers a happy and healthy new year! Do you have any resolutions for the new year? My resolution for 2013 is two deceptively simple words: read more.
Last week, I received two books. From Zibilee's wonderful blog, Raging Bibliomania, I won Runaway Girl by Carissa Phelps, which sounds like a touching and inspiring memoir. Forks Over Knives by Gene Stone, a book about the health benefits of a plant-based diet, was under our fragrant fir tree on Christmas morning. I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't eat a lot of meat, and I'm always eager to learn more about health, so I think I'll find this book quite interesting.

Monday is a marvelous way to share our new books. Created by Marcia,
who has set up several book blogs as well as a blog devoted solely to Mailbox Monday, this meme has been "on tour" for the past few years. I've greatly enjoyed hosting Mailbox Monday for the month of December. Lori's Reading Corner will be the host of Mailbox Monday for the month of January.What new books arrived in your mailbox or home recently? Please leave a comment after linking. Thank you!

Hi Suko,
ReplyDeleteTwo great books this week and I hope that you enjoy them both, although I am not sure that I would be rushing out to buy either of them personally.
I am by no means a vegetarian, however if we are out for a meal, it is often the case that I will order the vegetarian selection, as it always tastes so much better when it is professionally prepared, so perhaps this is a book that I should read, save myself a heap of cash and get healthy into the bargain!!
Thanks for being such a great host and have a great New Year.

Thank you for hosting for this busy month! Runaway Girl looks interesting, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting in what is such a busy month.
ReplyDeleteI know someone who changed her entire diet after reading Forks over Knives.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting in December. Happy New Year!
Enjoy your books and happy new year.
ReplyDeleteHappy and Healthy New Year Suko! Happy reading! You have been a great mailbox mondays host this month :)
ReplyDeleteI bought forks over knives for myself for Christmas after watching the FREE download at Netflix. It is very informative and will definitely change how you view food.
ReplyDeleteI downloaded a few things over the holidays and have been working through them. In 2013, I intend to read more too, Susan. I have begun doing more reviews also, especially on free work downloaded through smashwords and kindle.
these authors are to be commended on great and entertaining reads. might as well be me!
Thanks for hosting for December, Suko, and have a great week! Also...Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThey both look good...enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting for December.
Happy New Year!!

Forks Over Knives looks really interesting. I'm trying to move us all over to a more plant based diet here but I'm getting a lot of kickback at the moment. Good thing I'm the most stubborn person in this house! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou know I love memoirs! Your diet sounds an awful lot like mine so I'll be curious to see what you think of Forks Over Knives. Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteThe presentation of your new books makes them even more appealing; enjoy. Happy Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteYou are kind, Diane. I took this shot with my phone, but at least it's HDR.:) Have a wonderful New Year!
DeleteThanks for being our wonderful host this month.
ReplyDeleteI don't eat much meat either so Forks Over Knives is a book for me.
Both books sound great, especially Forks Over Knives. Thanks so much for hosting MM in December and I hope you accomplish your resolution to read more in 2013!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being such a great host. I've kind of quit reading self-help books and diet books. I should try to read more of those. Have a great New Year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the last MM of 2012! Happy reading in 2013!
ReplyDeleteHi Suko! Thanks again for Hosting in December. Enjoy your new books. I have a friend who would especially like Forks over Knives. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Wish you and yours a great new year. May 2013 be wonderful for you! :)
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for this new year
ReplyDeleteI'm always up for a good memoir and think Runaway Girl is one that would hold my attention! And thanks for being a great Mailbox Monday host for December!
ReplyDeleteI love your little photo of your books with the sparkly thing!
ReplyDeleteThose both look interesting...I hope you enjoy them :)
ReplyDeleteGood job hosting Mailbox Monday in December, Suko!
ReplyDeleteYour books look great! I recently received Shadows & Strongholds by Elizabeth Chadwick and The India Fan by Victoria Holt - both authors I highly enjoy. I can't wait to read them for March!!
ReplyDeleteOnly me Petty Witter but with a different name. I don't know how or why but my blog has changed to google+, my blog profile has disappeared and I'm unable to sign in as Petty Witter which is causing some confusion. Anyone else having similar issues?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, loving the festive look to this post. Here's to happy reading in 2013.
