I’ve long admired the characteristics of the stereotypical “French girl”. Serene, self-controlled and self-possessed, these attributes often seem to be in short supply in modern society. Yet I believe we can learn these “French girl” traits – and more!- with a bit of diligence. Here are 10 Francophile books to inspire your inner French girl. …
LWD Book Club ~ Writers & Lovers: A Novel
Can you believe the year is already half over?! How are your reading goals going? I’m a bit behind but I’m planning for some extensive summer reading time. I’m looking forward to this month’s Book Club selection – Writers & Lovers. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon Associate I earn from…
LWD Book Club ~ Elegance
This month’s LWD Book Club selection is “Elegance”, a book I’ve had for several years but haven’t read yet. I did some book decluttering this past weekend, something REALLY hard for me. One thing I realized is that I have SO MANY unread books. I truly must stop buying books until I make my way…
LWD Book Club ~ Someday in Paris
I’m truly feeling the stirrings of wanderlust. Oh, how I miss travel! For me, the next best thing is to escape somewhere in the pages of a book. Our plans for a trip to Paris this year are off so this seems the perfect time to read “Someday in Paris” for the May LWD Book…
LWD Book Club ~ The Enchanted April
It’s April and time for a new book club selection. I suspect most of us are way overdue for a vacation so why not at least visit Italy vicariously via The Enchanted April? Much-loved since it’s publication in 1922, generations have enjoyed this charming story. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon…
LWD Book Club ~ Housekeeping: A Novel
The March selection for the LWD Book Club is an old favorite of mine, Housekeeping: A Novel. It’s been years since I read this book and I’m ready to revisit Fingerbone, Idaho. The eccentric lives of the main characters captured my attention many years ago. This post may contain affiliate links and as an Amazon…
LWD Book Club ~ Tomorrow Will Be Better
Our LWD Book Club selection for February is by the author of one of my all-time favorite books, “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn”. It can be risky to read a lesser-known work by a favorite author – too often it leads to disappointment. But “Tomorrow Will Be Better” is being called a “rediscovered classic” so…
My 2021 Syllabus ~ A Reading List For An Intentional Life
The beginning of a new year is traditionally a time to look forward and make plans, goals and resolutions. If 2020 taught us anything, however, it’s that we only have so much control. Any number of things from personal to global can interrupt or even derail our plans. It’s tempting to simply throw our hands…
My Favorite Books of 2020
I’m in the process of selecting the books I want to read in 2021 as part of my “syllabus” and I’ll be sharing those soon. But in the meantime I thought I would share my favorite books of 2020. I didn’t read as many books as I would have liked but I think we should…
