Josh's dad recommended this book to Josh! It sounded intriguing so I picked it up too. Didn't realize this is the "man version" and there is a "woman version" until a couple chapters in, but TBH it's pretty easy to look past that for the main content.

This one is a slow cooker! More like a guidebook for freelancing so I keep coming back to it slowly but surely.

Reading this for 💖 Sister Book Club 💖

Oops not me starting another book before finishing the others 🤣 the air is getting crisp tho so it's time for a hyggeligt read to remind me how to cope with winter!!

Calm down everyone I'm not pregnant or trying to be, I'm just trying to eat well to balance my hormones 😤 also I'm back on goodreads baby!!! attempting to expose myself for how many half-finished books I have so I'm motivated to finish them. Thoughts and prayers appreciated lol 🙏

Plot is finally starting to get juicy!

Listening on audiobook w Joshy on our road trip down to Atlanta. Convicting and encouraging at the same time! Super heavy on scripture, loving it so far. Hoping to finish on the drive back next weekend :)

Is Grid Systems still staring me in the face on my coffee table? Yeah. Has it been months since I last picked it up? Yes. Am I gonna give up on it? No, I'm just gonna read ANOTHER design book that has some humor in it until I feel emotionally stable enough to return to it!

The perfect extension of my Jane Austen phase. Can't believe I didn't think of Elizabeth Gaskell sooner!

This book is just.... Not what I thought it would be like, and not making me feel how I wanted to feel. I tried to stick it out and see if it was heading somewhere, but I really need a fun book rn so I'm gonna call this one quits. Highly recommend Through Painted Deserts and Blue Like Jazz, but u can def pass on this one!

Contrary to the title, I am not Searching For God Knows What. I just like Donald Miller's prose when I'm feeling the need to be re-enchanted with the mundane... Plus, I'm on this kick of reading all the books from a single author 🤷🏼‍♀️

Recently had an incredible convo w Kayla Glenn about how closely linked healthy insulin levels and women's hormonal health are ... and suddenly this book got a lot more interesting and relevant 👀

Part of me is embarrassed to admit I'm reading this, but the part of me that just loves hearing different takes on nutrition and health won out! We'll see how helpful or convincing the science is 🧐

Don't let her humble appearance fool you, Jane is for sure an enneagram 8 !!

Anybody got a good science joke?? Cuz the chemistry between Mr. Rochester and Jane is OFF THE CHARTZ 📈

Anyway, this is my second reading, about a decade apart. Really interesting to read it when you remember the two biggest plot points and nothing else. Lots of delicious foreshadowing going on 👀

So I just finished Lady Susan...wow, now SHE is the most irritating character to ever exist!! Such a fascinating structure to tell a story only in letters sent between characters. Loved it. Wish it was more than just a novella!

Yo it is so good to re-read books, especially when you are trying to apply the principals in them. Cool to see how much of my life was already influenced from the first read a few years ago, but sweet to pick up on some of the more nuanced details and add those into my life now!

Read this quote the other day and I'm STILL thinking about it.

"Woman is fine for her own satisfaction alone. No man will admire her the more, no woman will like her the better for it. Neatness and fashion are enough for the former, and a something of shabbiness or impropriety will be most endearing to the latter."

Jane Austen speaks the truth 😤😤

it's hard to read a book when u only pick it up for half an hour every two weeks, lol

These are so good to pair with Bible reading for daily devotional time - my pace of 1 prayer per day is reaaaall slow, but this is so full of treasures it's worth the turtle pace, yanno?

Best Jane Austen so far. SHE LONG THO I've been reading it all week on vacation and still not done!!

Guys this cover is super ugly and misleading DONT JUDGE ME OKAY I'm reading it on Kindle I swear the cover had nothing to do with convincing me to read this book!
