What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?
What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday is here again!!! Yay!! What are you all reading these days? What's in my library bag is actually a book about books...Huh? It's a book about reading...I am currently reading The Reading Promise:My Father and the Books We Shared by Alice Ozma. I know I included a book trailer on this particular book earlier and now that the book has come in I thought I should read it.
The whole idea of this book is based on a Reading Streak that the author Alice and her father started when she was 9 years old. Trying to put off the time when his youngest daughter would tell him that she thought she was too big to be read to, Alice's father suggested a Reading Streak. Together they decided they'd read out loud together for 100 days!! Uncertain as to whether they would make it or not, they began their journey.
The book chronicles their reading journey and all of the things going on in their lives, too, like divorce, and sisters going off to college and phobias of Alice as a child, etc. It is a heartwarming story about a father and a daughter and their love of reading that continues to bring them together. What starts as a small 100 days turns into thousands, as they never quit from the time they start when she is 9 years old until the day she leaves for college!! Wow!! I am in awe! I try to read to my children every night, but inevitably we get home late, or go on vacation, or, or or... and the reading doesn't get done. I think I should start a Reading Streak with my own children and share my love. I think you should start one, too!! Maybe, if you don't have children of your own, you could challenge yourself to read so many days in a row and see where it leads you....
For more information, you can visit Alice's website www.makeareadingpromise.com or check out the book here at the library...Start reading today!

I don't know why I keep messing up these Friday recipes!! Try it on Monday, you'll still like it!
Thai Chicken Wings with Peanut Sauce
Prep: 25 minutes
Bake: 20 minutes
Oven: 400 degrees
12 servings
2 1/4 lb. chicken wing drummettes (about 20)
1/2 C. salsa
2 T. creamy peanut butter
1 T. lime juice
2 tsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1/4 C. sugar
1/4 C. creamy peanut butter
3 T. soy sauce
3 T. water
2 cloves garlic, minced
Shredded bok choy
Lime wedges (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place drummettes in a large bowl. Combine salsa, the 2 tablespoons peanut butter, the lime juice, the 2 teaspoons soy sauce, and ginger. pour over drummettes, tossing to coat. Arrange drummettes in a single layer in a baking pan or roasting pan lined with foil. Bake, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until tender and no longer pink. Meanwhile, for the peanut sauce, in a saucepan combine sugar, the 1/4 cup peanut butter, the 3 tablespoons soy sauce, the water, and garlic. Cook and stir over medium-low heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture is smooth. To serve, transfer warm drummettes to a serving platter and pour peanut sauce into a serving bowl. Serve sauce with drummettes (sauce will thicken as it stands). If desired, garnish with shredded bok choy and lime wedges.
Okay, so we really love peanut butter chicken Chinese food and are always looking for new recipes to try. We picked up this book The Potluck Cookbook at our school's book fair and found this recipe and just knew we had to try it. We actually adjusted it quite a bit...First of all, I don't like wings, so we cut up chicken breasts instead. Then, in place of baking the chicken in the first sauce, we stir fried it and added some peppers and onions. We finished it off by heating the other sauce over top and serving with rice for our meal. Yummy!!
Talking with a coworker, she mentioned that the peanut butter chicken at Chinese restaurants never looks appealing to her. I never thought so either, but decided to try it anyway because my husband loved it so much!! And am I glad I did! It's now one of my favorite things!!
Try it you might feel the same way...

Thoughts for a Thursday...
I was reading No Rest for the Dead, that mystery book by 26 different authors that I've been talking about...anyway I ran across a word that I was unfamiliar with and I couldn't figure it out from the context it was written in. Wow! That hasn't happened in a very long time. So, of course, I went to the dictionary and looked it up! Here's the word that stumped me and its definition:
sol·ip·sism
[sol-ip-siz-uh
m] 
Show IPA noun
1.Philosophy . the theory that only the self exists, or can be proved to exist.
2.extreme preoccupation with and indulgence of one's feelings, desires, etc.; egoistic self-absorption.
I thought it might be fun to include a word for Thursdays so we can all learn something new...Watch for more to come...

What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?
It's Wednesday again my reading friends and it's time for What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?? This week, I actually want to talk about someone I think you should know: author, Zachary Michael Jack and coincidentally what I am reading right now. Zachary Michael Jack is an Iowa author. He writes fiction and nonfiction and edits others' works, too. His website, www.zacharyjack.org says this about him....ZACHARY MICHAEL JACK has authored or edited more than fifteen award-winning books in a variety of genres, including fiction, poetry, essay, literary journalism, and creative nonfiction. His work has earned the Prentice Hall Prize, two nominations for a Pushcart Prize (Best of the Small Presses), two nominations for the Theodore Saloutos Award, and has been featured in the Los Angeles Times and the Chicago Tribune, among others. In sum, Zachary’s work has earned him listing in Who’s Who in America.
I personally have read his book entitled What Cheer about finding love in a small town in Iowa, named What Cheer. It's a fun, light read that makes you feel like you've been there and experienced something just like that. Jack's writing makes small town Iowa feel like a gem and makes you realize that there is nothing wrong with being happy right where you are. His newest novel is Native Soulmate, a creative nonfiction sequel to What Cheer. It's on my bedside as we speak.
I just thought you should know about one of our famous Iowa authors and maybe give him a try....The library has What Cheer available for check out and soon Native Soulmate will be gracing our shelves, too. As soon as I am finished reading it that is...:)
An associate professor of English, Jack teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in writing, rural and urban studies, and sports and leadership studies at North Central College. He is the great-grandson of pioneering conservation writer Walter Thomas Jack and a seventh generation resident of Iowa, where he continues to steward a family farm.

What's in Your Library Bag Wednesday?
Well, it's back around to Wednesday again and I just have to ask, "What's in Your Library Bag?" I bet you didn't see that one coming did you? LOL.
If you noticed the book trailer last week, it was on a new book called, "No Rest For The Dead " by Sandra Brown and 25 other mystery authors who got together to create a book for the purpose of donating the proceeds to Lymphoma and Leukemia research. What an amazing feat!! One story, 26 authors! Each author has a chapter or two and they are labeled accordingly, so you know that you are changing authors and conceivably writing styles as you go into it. First impressions may be that this could never work. 26 different authors with different voices and writing styles could never come together and create one solid story. But, it does work; it really does. Reading along, the story flows seamlessly, moving from one chapter and author to the next. If it weren't for the titles and headings at each chapter, you'd never know that the voice was essentially changing. They are that good! The idea of a novel written in this way by so many different authors is what drew me to it in the first place. I didn't believe that 26 authors all writing could create one story. But they have and you should read it.
The beginning of the book describes the the trying, convicting and executing of a relatively important character. What follows is a story about a 10 year anniversary memorial service held in honor of the executed person, Rosemary, a wealthy art curator. This party becomes a last chance for the chief detective, Jon Nunn to redeem himself and prove that Rosemary was wrongly put to death. This possible mistake has drained the detective of all life, but this case. As each of the other possible killers in this past crime are invited to the "party" we see glimpses of the past and what really happened. I am not finished reading the novel yet, but it is all leading to this party and whether or not the detective on the case can finally prove whether or not Rosemary really did kill her husband or if she was wrongly executed and someone else did it. Then the real question is, Who did kill Christopher Thomas?
So, to figure out this beautifully written mystery, you must come to the library and check it out, cause I'm not going to tell. Besides, I'm not even finished yet, so I don't know. But, I will soon and then you'll need to check it out, because I know you're dying to find out...

What's In Your Library Bag Wednesday?...
So, reading friends, what's in your library bag this fine Wednesday?? I'm going to talk a bit about a book in my bag that I showed you a book trailer on a while back. I try not to talk about books twice, but this one warrants a little more. The book is The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley. I've mentioned to you a time or two how much I enjoy historical fiction, Scotland, and time travel, right? Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series being one of my all time favorites...Well, Susanna Kearsley is a very similar author.
The story of The Winter Sea incorporates Scotland in the 1700s and modern day with a" time travelesque" feel. The main charactes, Carrie McClelland, is a modern day author who is writing a novel set in the 1700s. She is living in France in the beginning where her novel is set. On a visit to Scotland and her agent/best friend's house, she passes the castle Slains. She is drawn to the castle in unexplainable ways. Her characters really "come alive" for her in her head and writing. So, Carrie rents a cottage by the sea and next to the castle, moving her setting, to write her novel.
The novel kind of flips; one chapter will be modern day with the author, Carrie, meeting people and doing research with the next chapter being the characters in her book following that story. It's not exactly time travel because the author never goes back in time, but the 1700s are as real to her as if she is there and she can feel what the characters feel. What Carrie figures out is that she actually has the genetic memory of one of her ancestors, the main character in her novel. Hence, the reason that she feels everything as if she were really there and why it feels like time travel. As the story moves along, Carrie's life starts to somewhat mirror her ancestor's life. She meets a man who has a very strong resemblance to the hero in her novel/ancestor's life. Is it just coincidence?? Those lines become very blurred and as a reader you wonder what was "real" and what wasn't.
Obviously, if I read this novel and enjoyed it, there was a romance in both the modern day story and the 1700s story. It was so good, it made me laugh; it made me cry; and it made me smile...The surprise at the end made it all worth it. I give this book a three thumbs up; a definite good read!! Stop in and check it out!
