23.Jun.2009 Mailbox Monday – Three Very Very Different Books

Mailbox Monday on Tuesday… I totally forgot to post this yesterday. Anyhoo,

I got three books into my house last week and they couldn’t be more different!

Morning Breaks in the ElevatorFirst is Morning Breaks in the Elevator by Lemn Sissay which is the random book I got from being the first 100 members at Meet at the Gate. I had a flip through to find that it’s a collection of poetry. I’m not sure what to think about it because I’m never really into poetry. But hey who knows what will happen in the future.

xxxHolic Vol 1Second is xxxHolic Vol 1 by CLAMP, a manga which I received from Tanabata [her review of xxxHolic here]. I’m quite excited because I haven’t read CLAMP’s for ages. I used to read almost all of their books when I was a teenager, so I can’t wait to see if I will still enjoy their work as much.

The Naked ChefThe last one is a cookbook. In fact, the very first cookbook I’ve ever bought! It’s The Naked Chef by Jamie Oliver. In the past few months I have totally fallen in love with the cute chef. I’ve watched him on DVDs and podcasts and now it’s time to get into his books. Especially when they’re on sale at my favorite bookshop ;)

So what have you got into your house last week? Have you been good or bad? ;)

  • I love Jamie Oliver too! He is so good at promoting good causes here in the UK. He did a great campaign recently to improve the quality of school dinners, and he is always trying to encourage people to cook.

    I have to admit that some of his recipes, especially in his earlier books (like The Naked Chef) are a bit weird, but there are some gems in there. Happy cooking!

    That is quite the assortment, there!

    Jaime Oliver’s great! Everything he makes looks so good, and I love how his friends (“blokes”) come over to sample his culinary creations.

    Jackie: Yes I’ve watched that series about school dinners too a little bit. Very interesting. I loved the series about him training the underprivileged kids as well. Weird is good, as long as it’s simple and easy. I’m looking forward to reading them lol.

    Kailana: Funny mix!

    Suko: Yay for Jamie! ;) So far I loved all the series I’ve watched, and yes including the ones where he invited his family/girlfriend/friends to come over and cooked for them. Lovely.
