Summer Books

I read quite a few books this summer!  I like to read in the evenings before bed or sometimes in the morning before Ava wakes up.  Some books were serious, some were fun, and I enjoyed them all!


This book was awesome!  It is about a woman who was tired of excess and eliminated something each month for 7 months (clothes, spending, etc.).  The goal was to live simply and generously.


This was just a fun book that encourages identifying your passions and talents and choosing to live a simple and fulfilling life.


I read this book in 1 day while in bed with the flu.  I watched The Girls Next Door and Holly's World so I was very interested in finding out what Holly had to say about life at the Playboy Mansion.


Ever After was a great read about marriage and motherhood.  It was funny and full of great lessons/stories.  I loved this book!


Sophie Hudson is a great storyteller and reminds us that home is about the people inside and our journey through life and with God, not the actual house.


This book was by the hilarious comedian Aziz Ansari (from Parks and Recreation).  He teamed up with social scientists and they conducted research on romance today.  I am very interested in people's behaviors and think he is super funny so I loved this book.


The author of this book moved to the Upper East Side of NYC and struggled to fit in.  She tells funny stories about this elite world that most of us can't relate to but also finds many times where these women just want the same thing for their children that all mothers do.
