Books I read (no. 1)

I visit the library as often as possible in an effort to get through my ever-growing book list. These are some of my recent reads.

:: I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron. I definitely read this one in the wrong stage of life, but much of it was entertaining all the same. If you are 50 or older and a woman, I bet this is the most relate-able book in the world. If you are under 50 and a woman, you will probably giggle a few times. (If you are any age and a man, I have no idea what you will think of this book.)







:: Glitter and Glue by Kelly Corrigan. Oh! This memoir made me want to spend all my free time with my mom. Kelly reminisces about her summer as a nanny in Australia and all the ways she discovered her mother inside herself. As someone who is in that exact stage of life right now, I found myself saying "YES" to many parts of this book.

:: Mrs. Kennedy and Me by Clint Hill. Another memoir because apparently this is what adults read? I spent the week of reading this book in absolute awe of the Kennedy wealth. I'm still in awe. I can't think of anything else I learned from this book. How does anyone get to be so rich?? I did like reading this, though, and I teared up while reading about the JFK assassination from the perspective of those closest to him.

:: Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. Fiction! Finally. I flew through this because it was hilarious and intriguing and well-written. It's told in turns by three narrators who often describe the same events, which might sound redundant but is highly entertaining. It also showcases both the fun and difficult aspects of family life, for multiple families. This one would be my "#1 recommend" from this particular batch of books.
