One Year Off - David Elliot Cohen I'm very interested in "happiness projects", and especially travelogues. One of my dear friends knows this, and sent me this as a gift! :)

The Club Dumas - Arturo Pérez-Reverte A random pick through bookmooch - I had one point left to use before closing my account, and this was the only one available in Denmark that sounded even remotely interesting :-P

The Sound of Music Family Scrapbook - Fred Bronson I'm a HUGE fan of SoM and have wanted to read this ever since I heard about it several years ago.

Pioneer Girl - Laura Ingalls Wilder I'm also a HUGE fan of LIW, so of course I had to own this, once I heard it was being published. It took me awhile to find a place that would ship to Denmark without costing an arm and a leg though.

Knit, Wear, Love - Amy Hertzog I really want to get better at knitting sweaters, and this book came highly recommended by the Knitmore Girls (my favourite knitting podcast). I've yet to knit anything from it, but I'm currently swatching for one of the tanks, so we'll see :)

I'm really excited to read Pioneer Girl -- just as soon as I reread the Little House series for some context.

One Year Off sounds interesting, and thumbs up for any book with "scrapbook" in the title. Those are always fun! The knitting book also sounds pretty cool, despite my lack of knowledge about the skill.
