Recently, I introduced a new feature here at In the Hammock on Sundays. It's called "Sunday Shout Out" and it's a place where I can give a special shout out to those publishers and authors who have sent me books over the week, as well as those bloggers who have hosted contests that I've won! I'll also be giving shout outs to any other cool books, blogs or bookish news that I've spotted during the week.
Check out my first Sunday Shout Out post for even more info, here!

Gotta Have It
Now for the book I just found this week, that I must have now!!!
"The Kitchen Counter Cooking School" by Kathleen Flinn
I first saw this book featured on another blog, Love Laughter and Touch of Insanity, and she really convinced me that this is something I need to read. I'm trying to do more cooking and lots more healthy cooking, and it sounds like this book has many useful tips for the kitchen!

Did you know this event has been going on since 1919?? That's fantastic! Here are some posters from Children's Book Weeks in the past:
