In 2018, I made a commitment to read more. In our digital age there is a tendency to gravitate toward reading on a screen. However, the allure of a physical book still holds weight in my life. Here is what is on my bookshelf right now:
Off the Clock by Laura Vanderkam
There are No Grown-Ups by Pamela Druckerman
A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline
Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit
In Praise of Wasting Time by Alan Lightman
The Only Story by Julian Barnes
What is on your bookshelf?
Welcome! I am a lawyer turned freelance writer, essayist, and editor. On staff at Literary Mama and the co-founder and co-editor of the literary journal, The Sunlight Press, my essays and reported work have appeared in The Washington Post, The Lily, Saveur, Civil Eats, Brain, Child, ESPN and elsewhere. I am currently at work on a memoir on grief and culture and how it provides perspective on life’s ordinary graces. I invite you to appreciate the ordinary with me. I hope my daily practice of seeing the magic in the mundane helps you celebrate and find more of these moments in your life too. Read More
I’m embarrassed not to know them well. I have three overdue library books.. (embarrassed) and I’m reading a Celeste Ng one right now.
I need to read some Solnit again. Thanks for this reminder. xo
