Books Glorious Books!

I tend to go through these phases where I'll read a ton of books really quickly and then not pick one up for a month. Recently I've been reading a lot more and mostly the same types of books. I love all types of books but I've been reading a lot of memoirs. Here are the books I've finished and really loved:

1. Eat Pray Love: Absolutely going on my list of favorite books. I love the way Elizabeth Gilbert writes. She makes you feel like you're her best friend and biggest cheerleader. I loved hearing about her journey and I can't wait to dive into her next book currently in my queue.

2. Yes My Accent is Real: And Some Other Things I Haven't Told You: Although I had some trouble with the organization of this book I thoroughly enjoyed it. I thought the stories were very honest and hilarious! Kunal Nayyar has with words and his story is so interesting.

3. Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?: Hilarious. Seriously, read it! I absolutely love Mindy Kaling. She is my best friend and she doesn't even know it yet.

4. Why Not Me?: I went about four hours from finishing her first book to buying this one and that's only because I had to wait for the store to open (it was thanksgiving and I was thankful for Mindy's books this year). I find her to be the clean Chealsea Handler. She is hilarious, real and though she runs into some tough situations she is able to find the bright side to them.

5. As You Wish: Oh Cary! How I adore the Princess Bride and Cary Elwes as well! Out of all the memoirs I read I found his to be the most organized and the flow of the book was easy to understand. I really enjoyed this one but I would only recommend it to someone who really loves the movie The Princess Bride. If not then the book will be boring and quite honestly a waste of time.

Books can get expensive so my tip to everyone is to buy used books on Amazon in the new and used section. Normally you pay $4 and the book is in perfect condition. Also, finding a library book sale is always a great way to get books. Normally they're $0.50 for paperbacks and $1.00 for hard cover and they normally have an excellent selection. Librarys normally take donations for their book sales so please go through your books and donate the ones you won't read again so you can make room for the new ones you're about to buy!

This week has been insane! I've been so busy with work and life that I feel like I haven't had a minute to breath. I did get some time to stop and smell the flowers though... at whole foods! Same thing, right?!

I swear there were better arrangements but I just adore the vibrant pink flower. 

Here are the things I'm loving this week:

1. This duck | I love animal videos more that most people. I get to the point where I watch the ones I like over and over again! I especially love how excited this duck gets when his owner comes home from school on the bus. When the little boy gives the duck kisses?! I just melt! I love it!

2. This airport show | Broadway is one of those experiences I love but haven't experienced very much of. If I lived in New York you can bet I'd be at the theater every week. But living nowhere near New York makes going to the theater a little harder. This impromptu Broadway sing along in the airport is way too awesome for words!

3. This workout | I absolutely love this workout. I don't love the stair master but this workout has me sweating almost immediately. I feel like this one works really well too. I'm always sore afterward.

4. This book | Am I the only one who gets really excited about new autobiographies? Yes? I'm okay with that. I've put this book on the back burner for a while just because I figured it was more important to get through some of the trendier books for a while and then go through my biography list. Well, the trendy books are not as interesting to me. I was really stuck in a funk with a book and I ended up rereading the first chapter about ten times before I decided I should look at reading something else. I was really interested in this book because I love Cary Elwes as an actor and I especially love actors views on particular projects (another great book is Home by Julie Andrews. Shes amazing). I'm really loving it right now.

5. This lotion | I have the driest skin. Like, seriously. This stuff is so amazing for adding moisture and it makes you smell amazing for such a long time! Go to your local lush and try it out. Life changing!
