Jamie Oliver’s Meals in Minutes - If you’ve never tried a Jamie Oliver cookbook, this would be a great place to start. His infectious joy for life and food bubbles off of every page. Who wouldn’t want to try “Oozy Mushroom Risotto” or “Seriously Good Fish Tagine”. This cookbook is set up so you cook the whole meal (usually items plus a drink or dessert) at the same time. If that does not appeal to you, you might try an earlier cookbook of Jamie’s like his first, The Naked Chef.

Imagine if Cormac McCarthy's The Road was written for teens. OK...maybe that's not such a good visual. This post-apocalyptic road novel had me on the edge of my seat. It is a thoughtful reflection on life after the end of the world. Kids that are teens now have no memory of what the world used to be...they only know survival. As human beings attempt to rebuild the world they destroyed, will they be doomed to repeat past mistakes or will the next generation save the future? Great writing...great book to read with your kids. Autographed copies in stock now!

Pete's actually been out for a bit, but I've never featured him.  And I feel like he's a good cat for a day like today.

Pete the Cat goes walking down the street wearing his brand new white shoes. Along the way, his shoes change from white to red to blue to brown to WET as we steps in piles of strawberries, blueberries and other big messes! But no matter what color his shoes are are, Pete keeps movin' and groovin' and singing his song...

"No matter what you step in, keep walking along and singing your song...because it's all good"

Now that's a message we can all use!
