Current Read: Flat Belly Diet

Since I’m a Prevention Magazine reader and the Flat Belly Diet by Liz Vaccareillo and Cynthia Sass is one of theirs, I figured I’d check it out and see what the hype is about. I’m not really  a “diet” type but I do like to read various diet and nutrition books.

Current Read: Nineteen Minutes

I love Jodi Picoult and was glad to see this audio book, Nineteen Minutes,  on the shelf at the library.  I’m hoping that the rest of hers that I’ve yet to read (not many) are available in audio book as well since I’ve been able to read much more this way.

Since I’m going on a west coast trip this week I’ll have plenty of flight time to read so I’m going to tackle the 3rd of the three books that I committed to read in the Heard it through the Grapevine Challenge way back in the spring. I did read quite a number of books [...]

The Pilot’s Wife by Anita Shreve is one of Oprah’s Book Club selections that has been in my TBR pile for awhile. I just finished Bud, Not Buddy and The 6th Target this week but with the end of the school year just around the corner, I’ve got TONS of paperwork, meetings and commitments taking [...]

Last night was the final webcast of Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth but I’m not putting the book aside. This one needs some re-reading and intense digestion. I really need to not just read and learn but apply some of his practices… I’m forever multi-tasking and I need to learn to be [...]


Heard it through the Grapevine

I’m participating in the Heard it Through the Grapevine Challenge that I heard about (a few times removed) on Lynne’s Little Corner of the World. I believe I originally found Lynne through Mary on the Weight Watcher’s Booklovers board after visiting Mary’s book blog. I’ve got tons of books on my TBR (to be read [...]

I’ve been reading Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose and taking the web seminar with Oprah’s Book Club on Monday nights. The book is intense and focuses on living in the present and overcoming the Ego. I’ve been reading just one chapter at a time to prepare for each [...]
