At last week's party, we talked about the things we hadn't been expecting about motherhood.
This week, we're sharing five books on our to-read stack for the year!
1. There's No Such Thing As Bad Weather
*This is the next in my book-binge on all things Hygge. I've already got it on my nightstand, so I'm sure I'll be starting it soon.
2. Don Quioxte
I decided after reading The Well-Educated Mind last year that I'd fill in all my reading gaps and even roped G into joining me on the journey. This is the first book in the list and I'm about a quarter of the way through it already and can't wait to be done with it.
It's just not doing much for me. At least the chapters are super-short, so I can make myself knock out one or two each morning and keep plugging away.
G decided to make things a little more interesting for himself and is reading his version in Spanish.
Crazy man.
3. Travels with Charley
I love memoirs and books about travel and so when I realized this book existed, I knew I had to read it.
4. A Moveable Feast
Another memoir - and this one revolves around Paris, so it ticks off that travel box, too.
5. Cork Dork
I am halfway through this one and have been amazed at all the craziness in the lives of sommeliers. Plus, I love the title!
Now time for the new stuff!
