I’ve been lagging a bit on posting lately, but here’s my book list for March and April of 2016!
March:
Simplify: 7 Guiding Principles to Help Anyone Declutter Their Home and Life. This was a really quick and easy read, but I really enjoyed it. There are several things that I highlighted in the book that I’m using as I move forward with my Decluttering Project.
Fangirl: I actually started this in February, but finished in March. This book, by Rainbow Rowell, was much better than Attachments. I’m a fan of Rowell’s writing, and enjoyed this fun and easy read.
The Queen: This is a novella based on one of the characters from The Selection Series. I really love that the author has written these little novellas to give the reader a bit more of a taste for these characters; it makes the story much more enriching.
Rising Strong: If you haven’t read anything by Brene Brown, or even listened to her Ted Talk on vulnerability, run immediately and get a book or listen to the talk. She has such wisdom and care in the way she presents information, and it’s so beneficial. I would strongly recommend you read this book!
The Favorite: This is another novella based on one of the characters from The Selection Series, and I loved it!
The Heir: This is the 4th book from The Selection Series, and it was excellent! Seriously- I really love the Selection Series!
Killing Patton: The Strange Death of World War II’s Most Audacious General
The Prince: Again, this is a novella that explores the background of one of the characters from The Selection Series.
April:
NPR Laughter Therapy: A Comedy Collection for the Chronically Serious: I was thinking that this would be really funny and make me laugh, but, for the most part, it didn’t. There were some parts that were funny, but I was also a bit disappointed.
Sh*t My Dad Says:I rated this a 2.5 on goodreads- most of it wasn’t really funny at all.
Playing With Matches: I REALLY enjoyed this book- A LOT. This was about a matchmaker in a Jewish community, and I felt really invested in the characters from the start.
Winter: This was the fourth book in the Lunar Chronicles, and I really loved how the series ended. The writing was great, and it kept me hooked, even with it being 820 pages.
Where’d You Go, Bernadette: I started this audiobook in the summer of 2015, but stopped due to lack of interest. I decided to listen to it again while weeding this spring, and I liked it a little better, but not by much. It didn’t hook me.
#GirlBoss: This is an autobiography sort of book about one woman’s journey to starting an incredibly successful business. It was interesting to see some of her insights on leadership, although she did a whole lot of things I would never consider doing.
I laugh at myself sometimes because I often feel like, no matter how much I read, my “to read shelf” gets longer and longer. My strongest “to read” suggestions from the last two months have been: The Lunar Chronicles, The Selection Series, and Rising Strong.
Now it’s your turn to share! What’s your book recommendation from the last few months?
I’ve only read Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell, but I didn’t really love it that much. I did like her writing style, so I’m interested in trying some of her other work. I think I need to check out The Selection Series – I love when I can keep characters in my life for several books!
Let me know what you think! I just finished the final book of the Selection Series yesterday!
