New NOOK Books

New NOOK Books: "

April, as T.S. Eliot wrote, is the cruelest month. It’s also
National Poetry Month, so if you haven’t yet added some verse to your NOOK,
now’s your chance.

While many poetry fans favor the classics, it’s always
interesting to support burgeoning poets as they hone their craft. One such
American poet is Anthony Carelli, whose first collection, Carnations, is
available now. Carelli’s work—which has appeared in The New Yorker, among other prestigious periodicals—rivals the
depth and skill of poets twice (or three times) his age. He confidently explores
pedestrian subjects—like a game of Frisbee—and finds the small instances of the sublime within them.

Poetry lovers should also follow us on Twitter—@BNBuzz—as
we tweet 4 poems, including one of Carelli’s works, throughout the month.

NOOK owners: go to shop, and search “Anthony Carelli“ to
download this debut collection.

Rebecca St. James – “I Will Praise You” {GIVEAWAY}

If you are a fan of Rebecca St. James, you will be thrilled to know that she is back with her first studio project since 2005! If you are not yet a fan, I am so pleased to introduce you to her beautiful voice, inspirational lyrics, and heart of praise and worship. She calls this collection of worship songs “her most personal recording to date”.

I was so thrilled to be able to review her CD before its release! The cover is beautiful and her voice is exquisite!
In the CD booklet, she writes “Our mission statement as a ministry team is to serve the church and point people to Jesus.” I have to tell you that is exactly what this CD does.
“In a Moment” and “You Hold Me Now” describe in a breathtaking word-picture what it will be like to praise the Lord after He comes for His people. One of my favorites on the CD is “The Kindness of Our God” which reminds my heart that “He sees our tears and dries our eyes“. Each song is a beautiful reminder of God’s love and care for us.
For a sneak peak, visit the Rebecca’s listening party and let me know your favorite! Be sure to visit the Rebecca St. James website, Facebook page, or connect with her on twitter to learn more about this great CD!
The “I Will Praise You” will release on Tuesday, April 5.
