The Minimalist Home, Joshua Becker (huge fan of his blog, Becoming Minimalist, and this was a mix of recycled content plus some new stuff)Īlone Time: 4 Seasons, 4 Cities, and the Pleasures of Solitude, Stephanie Rosenbloom The High Season, Judy Blundall (don’t remember a thing but I rated it 3.5 stars so it mustn’t have been great)Ītomic Habits, James Clear (I really should revisit this one) Intuitive Eating, Evelyn Tribole (currently re reading this for the third time this year so…highly recommend) How to Break Up With Your Phone, Katherine Price (Hasn’t quite worked out yet, need to revisit asap) Live Big, Love Bigger, Kathryn Whitaker (ditto) Very freedom.)Ħ1 Minutes to a Miracle, Bonnie Engstrom (It makes me so happy to type my friend’s names in my book lists) The F*ck It Diet, Caroline Dooner (it’s rude, she’s crude, she’s got a sort of bad attitude…but this book is still worth the read. Health at Every Size, Linda Bacon (a really important book that is foundational to the body acceptance movement, though the author has gone of the deep end in recent years) Apart from In Sinu Jesu, probably the most important book I read in 2019) The only bummer is when I’m really desperate for a new title or the next book in a series and the waitlist is bumping.)ĭopesick, Beth Macy (on the opiod crisis, definitely recommend.

I’ve been putting this off and putting this off and putting this off because writing book lists is, like parenting a newborn, exhausting, and by nightfall all I want to do is fall into bed with a book. How’s that for a title? Descriptive, right?
