Well I did it again. Scooped up a bunch of books with the intention of reading them. I love collecting books more than I read them apparently. Here is a current list of book on my nightstand that I plan on reading till the end of the year – make note that I am not a fast reader.
Sparkly Green Earrings, by Melanie Shankle – Originally from a blog. Sparkly Green Earrings is a book on motherhood and trying to figure it all out. Filled with personal stories that are both hilarious and heart-breaking.
The Light Between Oceans, by M.L. Steadman – Tom takes a job at a lighthouse and keeps records of anything that drifts up to shore until one day a boat comes up with a dead man and a living baby. His wife (who struggles with conceiving) begs him to keep it as their own. Their decision to do so will haunt them both.
The Cuckoos Calling, by Robert Galbraith – The actual author is J.K. Rowling under her pen name. Lula a supermodel also known as Cuckoo to friends fell to her death one evening and was ruled as a suicide. And detective Strike enters the world of beauties, money and introduces him to seduction and delusion. You may think you know detective's but you’ve never met one like Strike before.
Revenge Wears Prada: The Devil Returns, by Laren Weisberger - Andy and Emily, her former nemesis and co-assistant, have since joined forces to start a highend bridal magazine. The Plunge has quickly become required reading for the young and stylish. Now they get to call all the shots: Andy writes and travels to her heart’s content; Emily plans parties and secures advertising like a seasoned pro. Even better, Andy has met the love of her life.The morning of her wedding, Andy can’t shake the past. And when she discovers a secret letter with crushing implications, her wedding-day jitters turn to cold dread. Andy realizes that nothing—not her husband, nor her beloved career—is as it seems
The $100 Startup, by Chris Guillebeau - Chris identified 1,500 individuals who have built businesses earning $50,000 or more from a modest investment (in many cases, $100 or less), and from that group he’s chosen to focus on the 50 most intriguing case studies. In nearly all cases, people with no special skills discovered aspects of their personal passions that could be monetized, and were able to restructure their lives in ways that gave them greater freedom and fulfillment.
Bittersweet, by Shauna Niequist – “The idea of bittersweet is changing the way we live, unraveling and re-weaving the way we understand life. Bittersweet is the idea that in all things there is both something broken and something beautiful, that there is a moment of lightness on even the darkest of nights, a shadow of hope in every heartbreak, and that rejoicing is no less rich even when it contains a splinter of sadness. 'It's the practice of believing that we really do need both the bitter and the sweet, and that a life of nothing but sweetness rots both your teeth and your soul.”
Well that’s it so far, what books are you planning on reading this season/year?
