I just realized that I put all the books I read over spring break in Sunday's posts. I wanted to make The Opposite of Me the book club book this month, but I thought that might be a little bit of a rip-off considering it was on the blog a few days ago!!!
(With that said, I still highly recommend The Opposite of Me. I really enjoyed it!)
And because I've shared all my recent readings, I'm doing something a little different. I'm currently reading a book, but I'm choosing the NEXT book on my list as the book club choice for now! We can read it together!!! Normally, I like to recommend a book I've already read and liked (so I don't look like an idiot if the book turns out to be a terrible read)... so this is going to be a gamble!
The Happiness Project
by Gretchen Ruben
I go through self-help book phases.... sometimes I'm all about them and sometimes I would rather not see one for the rest of my life. But, I think this isn't as "preachy" as far as self-help books go? Maybe I'm completely wrong here...
We're about to find out!
What books have you read recently that I should put on my to-read list?

PS You can keep track of all my reading on Good Reads account!
I read this book on MY spring break and I thought it was fantastic!!! Can't wait to see what you think. I definitely thought it was less preachy and self-absorbed as many self-help books seem.
ReplyDeleteA ton of people seem to be reading this right now. My mom just bought this book, so I'm definitely going to steal it from her as soon as she finishes it.
ReplyDeleteOur book club recently read "The Blue Castle" by L.M. Montgomery. It's not very "Anne of Green Gables"-y, but it's a fun look at taking risks, following your heart, and going against the grain. ...if you like that sort of thing. :)
ReplyDeletei go through self help book phases as well. i think i would like to read this one. how do you join the the book club? is it for this month or april?

You simply must read The Hillbilly Debutante Cafe, by Kathie Truitt. It's a fun, quick read. Perfect for the beach or book club. Her site is: http://hillbillydebutante.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteI can vouch for this book! It's a good one! I really enjoyed it and there are some useful ideas in it for sure.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the Happiness Project! I read it last fall and it was a good pick-me-up!!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds good! Great suggestion.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fantastic! I'm definitely going to join you on this one! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have to read the Hunger Games & the rest of the triology! It's AMAZING & I never got into Harry Potter or Twilight before reading this series... So, so good.
ReplyDeleteI started reading this a few days before you posted! I picked it up in airport bookstore before a flight. So far, I love it! Some of the stuff doesn't really apply to me, like the stuff about marriage or children, but a lot of the material has really got me thinking! Immediately after I returned from the trip where I started the book, I went into a cleaning frenzy in my apartment due to one of the chapters. Good choice!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice! It's very inspiring :)
