2012 Book List
Nichols and Sense A Blog from Dr. Dawn Nichols Convent of the Visitation School www.visitation.net/blog Book Ideas for Christmas So many of us at Visitation are voracious readers, and we share our love of books with each other in casual conversation and with our students. Knowing that my colleagues would have great book recommendations, I emailed the entire staff and asked for the names of good books to give as Christmas gifts. Following is a list of my colleagues‟ recommendations, broken into various categories, in their own words. When you are finished with this list, perhaps add a recommendation or two of your own in the comments section of the blog. I look forward to hearing from you! Nonfiction For Adults: Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. This non-fiction piece follows the planning and development of the 1893 Chicago Exhibition, alongside the story of a notorious Chicago serial killer, one very smart pharmacist who sets up operations near the exhibition. Fascinating, and definitely for teens and older readers. Recommended by Anne Pabst. Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual by Michael Pollan: I love a good health and wellness read. One I especially like is Food Rules. The book stresses that making healthy food choices doesn't have to be complicated. Food Rules helps make daily decisions about food very simple. The book is only 140 pages long and well worth the $11. Recommended by Mary Pat Ferraro. The Gift of an Ordinary Day: a Mother's Memoir by Katherine Kenison. The author of Mitten Strings for God writes beautifully about her family and her quest for living a simpler, more genuine life. -
