That doesn't stop me from being super excited about new books from the library this week. After loving The Blind Side earlier this summer, I'm in the mood to read some other good stories straight through, and to keep my learnin' up, of course.
1) The San Francisco Chronicle called this book "a tall tale, fairy tale, soap opera romance, Mexican cookbook, and home-remedy handbook all rolled into one." Yes, please!
2) I was supposed to read this book in 11th grade British Literature for my thesis paper. While I turned in that paper (and got an A on it) in spring 2002, perhaps I can get some extra life credit for actually finishing it this time around?
3) I public speak all the time. Or rather, I look at 75% of the speaking I do at work as a form of public speaking, because it is either in a client support, presentation, or training capacity. Despite being awkward, I would like to sound it less. It's time for the dummies to help me out here.
4) Okay, Suze Orman scares me. I like to imagine the Kristen Wiig version of her instead of the real her whenever I can, because while Kristen Wiig makes me laugh, Suze Orman makes me divide my savings account into monthly expenses and calculate how long of an "emergency fund" I have. The former's just more fun to do. But I don't at all discount that Suze is a woman mogul who cares about people and is a financial genius. She's a good person who inspires people to take responsibility for their own lives. I'm all about that.
5) But because she is scary, I need two of her books.
What are you reading these days? It is a mix of summer fluff, seriousness, and Brit Lit like me?
