Thrive: The Vegan Nutrition Guide to Optimal Performance in Sports and Life

Don't judge! This was a favorite book of mine when I was about 11, and a guilty pleasure even then. I saw and snagged this when we went to move my mom into her rat-packed cousin's house in Port Angeles. Pausing in reading it for the more timely book club book.

Bel Canto

Patchett, Ann



Ann put a hold on a library copy, and then bought one. I borrowed her library copy when it arrived, but now it's overdue and I'm close to the end. Looks like I will borrow her copy when she's done. This is a strangely sweet and softly lyrical book about hostages going about their lives while trapped in a house.

Book club selection for April.

While parts seemed annoying, trite, or unimportant, it is very interesting overall and inspired me to the importance of my own list of 31 things to do before I turn 32.

I love Gayla's writing on her blog, You Grow Girl, so I was excited for her book about growing food in small spaces.

Borrowed from Ann for book club.

I don't think I learned much from this book, nor was it really a journey. For the author it seemed to be both, but the reader wasn't invited along like we were with "Eat, Pray, Love."
