Month: February 2017

I’ll be honest.  I’m not loving a lot right now, since I’m preoccupied with what’s going on in our country.  But when I am not reading news, I’m trying to distract myself, I’ll be honest.  I’d love to hear what you are reading, thinking about, and loving lately.

MARS – Whit and I are watching this marvelous National Geographic series (available on demand).  It’s a great mash-up of futuristic fiction and real-life reality, and it’s inspiring, entertaining, and educational all at the same time.

Small Great Things – I’m reading Jodi Picoult’s latest novel and finding it both incredibly relevant and more moving than I anticipated.  Great plot, riveting story, and I just read that Viola Davis and Julia Roberts will star in the movie, which sounds perfect.

Books for Living – I read Will Schwalbe’s lovely second book over the winter holiday, before things went off the rails (it feels to me), so it’s less in the distract-myself bucket than other things.  I adored reading his reflections on books he’s loved and highly recommend this book.

Rogue POTUS Staff – I’m a big Twitter fan (find me here) and this account, from a secret staffer within the White House, has me riveted.  In a terrified, horrified way, but the information coming out seems to be good.  Check them out now before they get shut down!

Favorite Childhood Books – This week at Great New Books we’re sharing our favorite childhood books.  This is such a great list – for children and for adults! I bet you can guess what mine is!!

I write these Things I Love posts approximately monthly.  You can find them all here.
