I thought I'd share my current book list. For some reason, when I have very little to do, I don't read. But when I have about a zillion things going on, I reach for a book. Go figure. My college roomies can attest to this, that when I got stressed, I would read. Yet again, another reason I perplexed them, I am sure. :-) But I think I just like to have a little escape. So this is what I've read recently...
Cold Tangerines by Shauna Niequist
Anna got me hooked on this book, full of short-story memoirs about celebrating life. Her blog is similar, and Anna and I have both read through the entire thing a few times. Seriously, her writing is just that good.
Bittersweet by Shauna Niequist
Yes, I'm hooked on this author and anxiously awaiting her third book. This one is more about change and how it shapes us. It's not quite as "happy" as her first book, but it is so good. I can really resonate with this at the moment because my life is all about...change.
Found Art by Leeana Tankersly
I discovered this through Shauna Niequist, and I really enjoyed it. This is her story of marrying a Navy Seal and the first year they were married and lived in the Middle East. She talks about what she learned living over there and about re-entry into the "real world" when they came back. This resonated with me because I think she was incredibly brave to go around the world and live in a new place with a new husband and a new life, totally away from anything comfortable.
Next up on my list are the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. Maisie is a British psycologist and detective in the 1940s. I love a series, and I've read the first three. I need to do a little searching to make sure I read them in order, but it looks like she has about five in this series. So good.
Ok, your turn. What's on your reading list??
