I started my week with Lilian Boxfish Takes a Walk. Which is definitely my favorite read of 2017 so far. I know it hasn’t been so long but still… it’s totally delightful. I can’t recommend it enough. Especially if you’ve lived in NYC.
I wanted to read Lab Girl because it’s been on my list for months but while I liked bits of it, i had a hard time getting through it. I found myself skipping around.
I had the Achievement Habit on hold at the library and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read it. I feel like I already do a lot so I wasn’t sure if I need more “achievement” in my life. But I was totally wrong and I am so incredibly glad I read it. It’s by the co-creator of the Design Thinking class in Stanford and it’s full of wonderful, tangible pieces of advice and practices for self improvement. I will have to reread this one.
After I finished Achievement Habit, I grabbed Losing It from my library pile. Not sure what made me originally put this book on hold but i was on the airplane and didn’t want to overthink it. In the end it was meh. Not super mad I read it, but my life is not all that better because I read it either.
I also dabbled in both of the George and the Key to the Universe (and George and the Big Bang) books this week to see if we wanted to pick them for Lit Club. We decided we likely would not.
Not as much as usual, but it’s been a busy week.
