October & November 2012 - Things I Read, Things I Watched & Things I Decided I Want to Read

Well, I forgot to do a post in October and I'm very late in doing one for November.... so this one is a combo. 

Amazon is one of the few places left where you can order something and get it in time for Christmas, so consider this a book gift guide (if you're looking for books you should also browse through all the earlier editions of this post type... there's tons of awesome books there: September / August / July / June / April & May / March / February / January). Plus - if you order after following a link in the post, I get a tiny affiliate commission thing which is always nice. I only use the money to buy books.... and who doesn't want to help me in my book obsession. If there's a good obsession to have, it's that one.

Let's start with the wonderful books I discovered this month. I will read them all eventually.

  1. So many of the cookbooks you mentioned I oogled yesterday in B&N! Great selection. Also: oddly enough this week I learned who Grace Coddington was via her involvement in The September Issue (on Netflix). Fell in love with her! :)

    Great list :)
