Since I've recently checked out three nonfiction books from the library and have one sitting on my shelf that I've been wanting to read. And I have three advanced reader copies that I also want to read.
So with all of these nonfiction books at my reach, I figured this would be a great time for another read-a-thon.
Here are the books I plan to read:
- The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
- The Misadventures of Awkward Black Girl by Issa Rae
- Let's Just Say It Wasn't Pretty by Diane Keaton
- Always In Fashion by Mark Weber
- The Science of TV's The Big Bang Theory by Dave Zobel
- Suck It, Wonder Woman! The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek by Olivia Munn
- Escape From Tibet by Nick Gray with Laura Scandiffio
It looks like it's going to be an interesting group of books. Please feel free to read along with me if you like.
Book: The Happiness Project: Or Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun by Gretchen Rubin
Source: Library
Description:
Gretchen Rubin had an epiphany one rainy afternoon in the unlikeliest of places: a city bus. "The days are long, but the years are short," she realized. "Time is passing, and I'm not focusing enough on the things that really matter." In that moment, she decided to dedicate a year to her happiness project.
In this lively and compelling account, Rubin chronicles her adventures during the twelve months she spent test-driving the wisdom of the ages, current scientific research, and lessons from popular culture about how to be happier. Among other things, she found that novelty and challenge are powerful sources of happiness; that money can help buy happiness, when spent wisely; that outer order contributes to inner calm; and that the very smallest of changes can make the biggest difference.
