A new Anne Lamott book is a cause for celebration and Hallelujah Anyway was no exception. She is amazing and I hope she continues to write and publish books for many years to come. Thank you for being you Anne Lamott.
I checked out The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down because it sounded like a book that would speak to me. And it was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommended.
I listened to A Little More Human on the way to Idaho. It started out interesting but then I didn’t like it and I kept waiting for it to be good again, but it never was. Put this one in the camp of “i want my hours back.” there were things I liked about it, but overall, not so much.
This is How It Always Is was my favorite read of 2017 so far. It might be my favorite read of the last 5 years. I loved every little bit of it. I loved it. Really, really loved it.
It was time for another Harriet Lerner so I devoured Why Won’t You Apologize? Fantastic as all her books are.
I was going to read The Most Dangerous Place on Earth but decided it was too annoying for me. So it was finally time to read Waking Gods. I had read the first book last year and loved it and the second one didn’t disappoint. It was a super-pleasant surprise that this was book two of two so it came to a great conclusion, too.
I sampled Word by Word and Idaho this week, too. I haven’t decided if I will finish either. Let’s see. I have some books that I’ve been looking forward to in my queue so that might take precedence.
Books I Read this Week 2017 is a year-long project for 2017. You can read more about my projects for 2017 here.
I have the new Anne Lamott out of the library. I’m going to start American War today and have started The Revenge of Analog. (I’m a technology fan, but also love “old” technology, so find this interesting.) I’ve also got The Little Paris Bookshop on my nightstand. On the face of it, this book should be right up my alley and I’m sure I’ll finish it, but it hasn’t fully clicked for me.
