Weekly Roundup: Posts from the PR World [8/29/08]

If you're new here or just an old friend, I'd love it if you subscribed via RSS feed. Thanks for taking time out of your day to come hang out here!

It’s definitely been a busy week around here for me. I was finally able to launch my new blog focusing on cooking, grilling, techniques/tips, recipes, etc. If you are a foodie then check out Prime Cuts and let me know what you think. Since I didn’t get a chance to post a weekly roundup for last week, this week will include some of my favorite posts from the past two weeks.

Today’s weekly roundup of books include a couple of books which are a couple years old but are ones that I have definitely added to my wishlist and I’d suggest you also check them out.
