Since the end of June I have read 5 awesome books! (as part of my read 12 books for 2011 resolution)
Pink Book and a Machete by Mireya Mayor......
This woman is so awesome and amazing. She was on the National Geographic show as one of the explorers in Expedition Africa, the televsion series. I did not watch the TV series but this book is a fabulous adventure and the story of an amazing woman. She is beautiful, brillant, adventurous, and fierce.
The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin......
Another inspiring book; but inspring in a different way. Gretchen is down to earth, honest, and funny. This book is about her quest for happiness through a chart which she developed. For one whole year Gretchen focuses on discovering true happiness, focusing on a specific area each month. I loved her ideas and what she focused on each month. I discovered some new ideas to try myself.
Grayson by Lynne Cox....
A short but fabulous read. This story tracks a young swimmer and the relationship with lost baby whale. I have a strong love for animals, specifically whales and dolphins, and I'm fascinated at their ability to communicate. A great story of friendship between human and animal.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson......
Hilarious! Bill writes about his adventure hiking the Appalachian Trial. His writing is comical and it was a great page turner
bird by bird by Anne Lamott
Another funny book..... Anne gives advice for writers in a most comical, honest fashion.
