    • Everyone Is Beautiful: A Novel
      Everyone Is Beautiful: A Novel
      by Katherine Center

      OK. I have an advance copy. I cheated. All I can say is, "I heart Katherine Center." Just click here and pre-purchase your copy so you don't have to stand in line with all of the other people who will want to get their hands on this wise and funny book! Honesty, humor and great writing is an amazing combination.

    • The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages (Crossroad Spiritual Legacy Series)
      The Rule of Benedict: Insights for the Ages (Crossroad Spiritual Legacy Series)
      by Sister Joan Chittister OSB

      I love Joan Chittister. I'm always searching for spiritual guidence on living a balanced life. I recently met and was inspired by a Benedictine monk. So, there you have it!

      Only by the Night
      by Kings of Leon

      Three brothers raised singing tent revival songs hook up with their first cousin and make some serious old-school music with a very fresh sound. I'm totally addicted. iTunes shows their "influencers" as Tom Petty, Neil Young and The Allman Bros. I also hear The Call (my fav). Careful in the car with the kids (the tent rivival days are long gone). Thanks to Ash & Lauren for the recommendation.

      I can't stop listening to this! Soulful and bluesy - absolutely awesome.
