First Book of 2016

1st Book of the Year

Sheila over at Book Journey is hosting the First Book of the Year and although I’ve always made a big deal of choosing the first book of the year, I’ve never joined a community event for it! So, here is my first book!

First Book

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

I absolutely cannot stand clutter. I am on top of it each and every day and yet, after a full work week my house is a disaster again. It may be, that I just have too much stuff.

A kind blogger sent this to me months ago and I don’t know, it just feels like a book that should be read at the beginning of a year. Hopefully I can gain some insight into why my house is continually sucking in crap. Sorry for the pseudo curse word.

What will your first book of the year be?

Happy New Year, all!

Book Chatter's Best of 2015

The new year is just around the corner so it’s time to wrap-up 2015. Here are my top eight books read this year.

I had a hard time coming up with books because I liked many of them but there were a few that really stuck with me in some way.

Here’s my list in no particular order:

West of Sunset by Stewart O’Nan
The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagahira
The Last Pilot by Benjamin Johncock
Kitchens of the Great Midwest by J. Ryan Stradal
Summerlong by Dean Bakapoulos
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand
Norwegian by Night by Derek B. Miller

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful New Year’s Eve!

Happy New Year 2016
