I've been in Portland for the last few days and thankfully, Amanda (one of my favorite bloggers) is stepping in to break my non-blogging streak with her March reads.
by Amanda Jane Jones
When spring begins to tip toe its way in, I always yearn for a good "light read" to go sit in the park with. Below are some suggestions for your spring reads!
1. Food Rules: Illustrated Edition - By Michael Pollan
I loved this book. I not only learned a ton, but I laughed the whole way through.
2. Cranford - By Elizabeth Gaskell
I've seen the mini-series, so I bought the book because it's pretty. It's next on my must-reads.
3. And the Pursuit of Happiness - By Maira Kalman
You won't regret it.
Thanks for the list Amanda!! -J.
hi lovely jenn!
ReplyDeleteMaira Kalman is one of my most favorite artists. Her illustrations (and words) are soo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Food Rules founds intriguing. I promised myself not to buy anymore books until I've finished everything on my bookcase. But I'm so tempted...
