You are One-Third Daffodil
Doesn't this book have a genius title (and excellent jacket design)?! Talk about happily judging a book by its cover. You are One-Third Daffodil is a clever compilation of little known facts about life and the world around you, meant to amaze and baffle you. I love stuff like that! I haven't picked up a copy yet, but I can't wait!
Have you read any good books lately? I'm in desperate need of something to immerse myself in but haven't been able to find anything worthwhile in recent months. I have a Shelfari account, and I'd love to take a look at your "shelves" and add you as a friend if you do too. Have a wonderful weekend! xo Ez

I love Danny Gregory books, especially "An Illustrated Life" ... If you like art, his books are a "gotta checkout" ^^
Have a great weekend hun!
I just read The Poisonwood Bible. It's long and dense, but really wonderful. If you're looking for something a bit lighter, I highly recommend Dan Savage's books The Kid and The Commitment. They're funny, raw and they make you think.
This looks so fun (and pretty too!)
Such a great title! I can't wait to see it!

Ooooh that book looks fabulous- I will add it to my long list at the library haha! :) Just stumbled upon your blog recently and am loving it!! xoxox Holly
I am looking a good book too .... so I will keep checking back!
Love this find, saw it on your Flickr stream:)
great cover! (totally gonna tumblr it!)
I don't have much time to read these days. then again, my recommendations
wouldn't be suitable for you--I'm still into children's books D:
Have you read "Eat Pray Love" by Elizabeth Gilbert? I didn't think I'd like it, but I did :)
So fun! Love great covers like that, I always stop to look when I see them in the store. :) I've been totally enthralled by Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series - talk about epic stories! Could NOT put them down, devoured them all last summer/fall. Now I have everyone else I know hooked. ;)
I liked the Time Traveler's Wife. Picking up a well-loved 19th century novel again is always a good choice. :)
I second Brigitte's recommendation for The Poisonwood Bible, and I add The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Miriel Barbery and The Language of Life by Bill Moyers. Hedgehog took me a little time to get into, but it was wonderful once I did. And Language took me completely by surprise--I took it out from the library intending to flip through it and ended up devouring all 450 pages in 3 days.
