I occasionally post a Twitter thread of my thoughts on a book I’ve recently finished. Here’s a collection of them, if you’re curious what I’ve been reading!
2022
Currently Reading:

This book was a thoughtful gift from my mom. It wasn’t on my main list, but overall I’m glad I read it! pic.twitter.com/p1u3JoXlwR

Just finished this one, and it was definitely one of the more thought-provoking books I've read in a long time. pic.twitter.com/erqbJ1vaA0

I also recently wrapped up this book, which was a fun and quick read with lots of inspiration and beautiful photography pic.twitter.com/8CUvyX5SCS

Finished it! 🙌 This book was a really enjoyable read, and even though it took a long time to get through, I was still disappointed when I found myself on the last page. pic.twitter.com/AAKSRgkaOF

Wrapped this one up during a day of Baby Bit sleeping on me. I had high hopes for this book, but it fell a bit short pic.twitter.com/ZQmIWmMdRh

This book's been on my list since around 2011 😱 & I finally got around to reading it a few weeks ago. No joke this book really could change your life! pic.twitter.com/nqiHBLaLIR

Finally finished this book a few days ago! I give it a 7/10. Better than a "meh" but also not one of my faves. pic.twitter.com/BpzPhywNdm

Finally finished this one last month: Stamped from the Beginning by @DrIbram ! This was one of the best books I’ve ever read. Really. pic.twitter.com/tDoSXFAWox

My son’s recent interest in weather has rekindled my own childhood intrigue with the subject, & I just finished this really enjoyable book! pic.twitter.com/ucBeNcPrkg

This is another older book that I finally got around to checking out. I didn’t always enjoy the writing style, but overall it was a fun and informative read! pic.twitter.com/gC65vKg6WX

Just finished this fantastic memoir by @HabenGirma and I absolutely recommend it! An incredible window into her journey so far, and I learned so much. pic.twitter.com/6CWhqYhCX8

I was so excited about this book, bc I'm all here for learning how to reduce some stress of parenting. I'd say 30% of the book was great and the other 70% was not great. Womp womp. pic.twitter.com/kGUe6dm7hj

This was on "my books to read" list a long time ago, and I totally forgot about it until I heard @GrahamStephan reference it in one of his videos. pic.twitter.com/LeSQEOrf74

I recently finished this outstanding book by @ProfessorCrunk . It was beautifully written and gave me a lot to think about, from so many angles. If you haven't already, you should read it!! pic.twitter.com/G7GSHBT9ci

An avid reader of the @zerowastehome blog, I was first in line at my library to read this book when it was released in 2013. pic.twitter.com/GiHYCQXFt1

This one gets a solid "meh." I'd thought it would be a sort of a memoir, but it's really a collection of quotes and interviews with other people pic.twitter.com/mTLd8y4Biq

This one did not disappoint! Working in this new "era" of company culture can be exhausting, but I've also found it to be exhilarating and so worthwhile. pic.twitter.com/lw1rTugWMn

Always thought it would be awesome to have a coffee with my fave @PattyOLovesU and ask her a million questions. This book was the next best thing! pic.twitter.com/BFSAdEURVw

Been on a real kick lately of these "American ex-pat raises children abroad, learns about culture" books (also read Bringing Up Bebe, and No Such Thing As Bad Weather) pic.twitter.com/6U0NJ72cye

Read this book by @skamille as I was preparing to move to management 1.5 yrs ago, and just finished rereading it again. Almost feels like a whole different book 😂 pic.twitter.com/oZOYAKg8t7

Waited months for this book at the library, & it finally came in 2 days after Baby Droid was born 🤦 Trying to carve out reading time again, & it only seems fitting I start with this one! 🎉 pic.twitter.com/4LPZ1zYzOB
