May and June Book Report

Thursday, July 14, 2016




I added a few books to my list in May and June.

First up was The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney. It's about a dysfunctional family and a trust fund. Their plans to use that money don't go exactly as planned.

Next I read The Expatriates by Janice Y. K. Lee. It follows 3 women living abroad. Their stories are all different but end up intertwining.

I first heard about The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz when i was in yoga teacher training, but didn't read it until recently. It teaches you how and why the four agreements (Be impeccable with your word, don't take anything personally, Don't make assumptions, and Always do your best) will make your life fuller and richer. Pretty good stuff here! It takes practice and intention to make this happen! 

I read The Shoemaker's Wife by Adriana Trigiani in June. This is the author who wrote Big Stone Gap (which is also on my list!). It's a historical fiction novel based on the author's grandparents immigration story. So good!

I love reading each and every comment! Be sure to keep up with me on Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook!
