Rita
The
Four Agreements by Don
Miguel Ruiz - This is a book that I have read multiple times. I find the
insights to be enlightening, and I manage to take away something new with each
read.
Baggage by Alan Cumming - This is a very intimate
look into the life of the Hollywood actor. He shares the tragedies and
adversities he has overcome as well as many joyous moments. It is a very
personal look at how life events shape the person one becomes.
Dolly
Parton, Songteller by
Dolly Parton - I highly recommend listening to the audiobook and hearing
the stories from Dolly herself. It reads like the ultimate liner note
with all of the stories behind the songs and the inspirations and influences. I
believe this book is not just for fans of Dolly Parton, but for fans of music
in general.
Mad
Honey by Jodi Picoult and
Jennifer Finney Boyle - I was, at first, drawn in by the abundance of amazing
facts about bees. There is a wealth of knowledge about honeybees and beekeeping
throughout the novel, but it also a story of love and acceptance woven into a
murder mystery. With good character development and surprising twists, this
book really held my attention.
Where
the Deer and Antelope Play
by Nick Offerman - There is a lot to enjoy in this book, from historical facts
about the creation of the National Parks to humorous and often irreverent
observations about the human spirit. Nick Offerman tells of three different
trips taken across the country. One of those trips included Jeff Tweedy from
the band Wilco and American writer George Saunders. I cannot read a Nick
Offerman book without laughing out loud, and this was no exception.
