Life of a Renaissance Gal
Reading… Where the Crawdads Sing. It took me a little while to get into this book but when I did, I couldn’t put it down. It’s the story of Kya, a girl (around 6 years old at the time the story commences) whose entire family, one by one, abandons her, leaving her to fend for…
How was your weekend? I was really sleepy this weekend and took lots of naps. I think I’m still adjusting to the time change. Reading… Marilla of Green Gables. When I was growing up, Lucy Maude Montgomery was my favorite author. I still remember going to the bookstore and discovering they had a new L.M….
Reading… Company of One. I actually have several books going right now. I requested this book from the library after hearing the author, Paul Jarvis, on the Hurry Slowly PodcastHurry Slowly Podcast. It’s nice to read a book by someone with a similar business philosophy as mine, where growing the business isn’t the primary concern….
Reading… How to Break Up with Your Phone. I have been devouring this book. I think this one has convinced me I have a problem more than Digital Minimalism did. While reading it, it’s occurred to me how much picking up my phone every few minutes is effecting my concentration levels and creativity. I’m experimenting…
Did you watch the Oscars last night? I did not plan to, but then I remembered that I actually (kind of) know someone that was nominated and decided I would be really disappointed if he won and I missed it. Unfortunately, he did not win. Reading… The Line that Held Us. I finished this book…
Reading… The Ruin. I finished this book over the weekend. It’s written by an Irish writer and set in Ireland. I don’t think I’ve consumed enough Irish media to have mastered the Irish voice. For this reason, it took me awhile to get into this mystery. I found myself having a little trouble comprehending and…
Reading… Digital Minimalism. Paula Pant interviewed Cal Newport for the Afford Anything podcast. I was excited to see that his book was available on Scribd and have been devouring it. I have been contemplating my smart phone and digital consumption ever since. He recommends taking a digital media break for approximately one month; I’ve been…
I did not intend to take so much time off. Between being a little under the weather and a weird work schedule at the law office, I’ve had trouble getting my act together. Reading… Lethal White. I’m a big fan of this J.K. Rowling series (written under a pseudonym). At 656 pages, this is a…
Reading… Night of Miracles. I flew through this sequel to The Story of Arthur Truluv. I loved both of these books. I did not realize that Elizabeth Berg had written so many books. I will have to check out her other work. These books are set in a small town in Missouri and have a…
I fully intended to post on Friday but when I went to do so discovered that WordPress had gone and changed things on me. I didn’t have time to figure it all out so I opted not to post. Reading… About My Mother: True Stores of a Horse-Crazy Daughter and Her Baseball-Obsessed Mother. I’m not…
