Reviews

With The Fire On High by Elizabeth Acevedo

Since this book was about Emoni’s passion for cooking, I decided to take two action items away dealing with food. My first item was I need to do a better job on buying and cooking meals that follow the Low FODMAP diet I should be on thanks to my digestive issues. My next item was to plan a date night that involved a cooking class. I haven’t decided yet if this will be a date with myself or with my husband.

A Year of Biblical Womanhood by Rachel Held Evans

Although I didn’t give it that great of a review, I still had some takeaways. My main one was to start paying attention to what I am buying and making sure the company is following some ethical and moral guidelines. I’m looking into Fair Trade Certified products. I already use Grove to deliver my cleaning products, but I looked into their other products like toilet tissue, paper towels, etc. I included my referral link if you want to check it out and get a free gift. (I do earn from qualifying purchases, if you use that link, at no extra charge to you!).

Currently Reading

Messy Beautiful Friendship by Christine Hoover

I didn’t get too far in this book last week, but I haven’t read a single page this week.

The Next Right Thing by Emily P. Freeman

It’s been a while since I’ve started this one and I realized I need to start over again instead of jumping in where I left off.

Tools of Titans by Tim Ferriss

I decided to start this massive book after seeing someone’s post on how to read the book. Apparently, you can jump in at any point and start reading. It’s more of a collection of nuggets so I figured I would get started. But I am going to read it in order.

Letters to the Church by Francis Chan

I ordered the physical copy of this book to re-read, this week. This one, along with the two under Recently Acquired, were easily in my top favorite books that I have read this year.

DNF

The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck by Mark Manson

There wasn’t anything wrong with this book, and I think it is one I will eventually read and like. But I borrowed it from Libby, and by the time I had to return it, I didn’t make it that far. I was reading it all week and only made it to chapter three. I’m a little over eBooks right now.
