Oodles of books this week, including three cookbooks, from cozy mysteries, fiction of noted praise, a new book about shifting what it means to Have It All that aligns beautifully with living a life of contentment, and still more titles. A new film takes us back to the mid-twentieth century in Hollywood, and another takes us to the early 21st century in France. Clothing to keep you warm and stylish —one item I just purchased, love —and it’s on an awesome discount! Still, there is much more, even a hint at the upcoming holiday season.

Oodles of books per usual!
