littlelaur: recent reads i swore that this year i would make reading a priority. last year i was embarrassing when it came to reading, coming up with great reasons like “well, i mean i read enough for school” & “why read when i could just go to sleep”. so after finishing a grand total of probably 5 books, i realized that was just not going to cut it in the new year. in an effort to keep myself accountable, i’d like to start sharing my recent reads & quick thoughts. here are the 2 i’ve finished in january so far. one last thing before i go - rae said it was fantastic & when i commented on her post, she ended up shipping it to me (in a box full of candy, no less. girl knows the way to my heart.) it is a fun read that manages to look at some terribly difficult life situations with humor & love. you would think that a man committed to not having a surgery that will save his life (because he thinks he has ruined it) would leave you sobbing, but the book is so well done that you end up smiling & enjoying the ride through most of it (fair warning, tissues are needed for some parts). wild - while i found cheryl to at times be a bit overwhelming, she is wonderfully refreshing & brutally honest. her journey into the wilderness was a life changing experience & one that she does a great job of sharing with the reader. it made me want to pack up a bag & hit the hills for a few days (& i’m not an outdoorsy person at all). the book is raw & insightful & an all around enjoyable read. i’m moving on to the language of flowers now but seeking more recommendations so i can keep up my reading flow. current favorites? old loves? new hates? recently read? -- source link
