CREATIVE ADVENTURING: A FIELD GUIDE FOR AN INSPIRED LIFE BY JONATHAN BITZ
A cute ‘how to’ parent book. Although I don’t have kids, I appreciated the advice Bitz gives. To summarize, it feels like he is telling parents to be chill but adventurous. I loved it. Very sensible advice. Great ideas of how to get out there, that doesn’t involve sticking an iPad in front of your kid’s face. …

INTO THE WILD BY JON KRAKAUER
Into the Wild the book is a lengthy expose on the article that the author wrote earlier. The article was just the tip of the iceberg for Krakauer and I believe he got obsessed and couldn’t stop with just the article. He’s expanded on his thoughts, other’s stories and some clarifications he wanted to make since the article,…

THE LAKE HOUSE BY KATE MORTON
Kate Morton is easily one of my top favorite authors. She writes books that affect my heart in a melting sense, rather than a heart pounding thrill way. She’s the person I reach to when I want to melt into a chair. Looking back at my notes for this book, I wrote how I was having a…
