This post was inspired by Ella Bella Princess of Kentucky, my sweet nine year old daughter. She wrote a blog post a few weeks back listing all of her favorite books and books she had been reading over the summer. After reading her post, and helping her take a picture of her favorite books I was itching to do the same! As well as inspiring me to read more, this has also inspired me to try and grow my social following. This way, I feel like I will be able to share more of my thoughts on various books with a bigger audience. I know growing my following organically may take some time, but I also know that with sites like upleap, I could have more followers sooner than I think. This is something to think about.
Anyway, I wanted to share some of the fabulous books I’ve been reading lately. I finished up the Game of Thrones series a few months ago after reading them for almost a year. I was absolutely enthralled with this series, and the show that HBO created. I felt so empty and sad when I finished the last book. Especially know that the author, George R.R. Martin takes YEARS to write each book, so who knows when I’ll get another GOT fix. I needed a good book STAT to fill that hole in my heart, so I took to Facebook and collected ideas from friends.
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
Food Rules by Michael Pollan – I’m actually reading this for the second time, and sharing the rules with my family this time around. I’m not going to lie, we don’t follow all of the rules, but this book sure has changed the way I look at food and eating. And by sharing it with the kids and Michael we are engaging in some great discussions about healthy eating and healthy living and hopefully teaching the kids how to make good choices about foods they eat.
