Visit the host blogs for a list of great blogs participating in this meme and a whole bunch of titles to add to your to-read lists.
Books I Finished This Week:
I really enjoyed reading Daring Greatly by Brene Brown. It was really fascinating to think about the role that shame plays in our society and in my life. This book definitely gave me a lot to think about. I highly recommend it.
I had a chance from NetGalley to read Piper Green and the Fairy Tree: The Sea Pony by Ellen Potter. I think it is a fun read and will appeal to my lower readers. I will definitely look for this one when it comes out in August. I haven’t read any of the other Piper Green stories so now I will be looking for them also.
You know how sometimes the right book seems to fall in your lap? I have had this book for a long time, but something compelled me to find it on my Kindle and read it this week. The Wahls Protocol: How I Beat MS Using Paleo Principles and Functional Medicine by Dr. Terry Wahls outlines a diet and lifestyle plan that supports cellular health. This is one of those books that I picked up to peruse and ended up unable to put it down. The nutritional steps that she suggests taking are really aligned with what I have begun to understand to be very healthy goals. This is one of those times in which everything that I am learning seems to be converging into one set of things that I need to do to be healthier.
Books I am currently reading:
I am still listening to Winter by Marissa Meyer. This young adult series just keeps getting better. I am also still reading Death Comes to Pemberly by P.D. James. I am also reading In The Woods by Tana French. I had a mostly nonfiction sort of week, only really reading the novels at night before bed. I didn’t make much progress this way. I need to carve out some time this week for just sitting down and reading my books.
What’s Next?
I was approved on NetGalley to read Gae Polisner’s new book The Memory of Things. I will definitely start that this week.
What are you reading this week? I would love to hear from you in the comments!
Nice variety of books this week. Come see what my reading week was like. Happy reading!
I’m stoked about Piper Green and the Fairy Tree: The Sea Pony. Piper Green is very popular at our school with a certain age of readers. I was also approved to read The Memory of Things and hope to get to it soon.
I’m glad to hear that the MS book was good for you to read, Andrea. What a great thing that people are writing books that help. I’ll look for the Piper Green books and I just received The Memory of Things, too. I’m looking forward to it! Have a lovely reading week!
I was approved for Gae’s book too! I can’t wait to start it.
I’ve heard other people talking about Daring Greatly. I’ll have to check it out
I really enjoy the Piper Green series. I haven’t had kids jump on it, but I’ll keep encouraging them!
I’ve read Cinder – but have yet to read the other books in the series, and quite looking forward to it, actually. 🙂
