I didn't have time to hit the usual fiction shelves at the library a few weeks back due to kids and time restraints and found myself choosing books from the nonfiction section. One book I had heard of before and wanted to read but had completely slipped my mind. That happens a lot.
The sound of a Wild Snail Eating by Elizabeth Tova Bailey was a lovely book about a woman's long recovery from an odd virus and her "friendship" with a snail. Very easy to read and touching. I think it's nice to take some time and slow down.
The Bag Lady Papers by Alexandra Penney. I enjoyed her overall message but found myself skimming through a fair amount. Alexandra Penney has had a lifelong worry/obsession about losing everything and becoming a bag lady. She's had a very successful career in magazines, writing and as an artist. She is one of the many people who had their money stolen by Bernie Madolf. I took "simplify" from this book.
