Don’t bother me. I’m reading. 🙂
Seriously, this book is just…I don’t even know what to say about it. It came at the right place and time for me and I’m just loving every word of it. What are YOU reading?
I plan to do a lot of reading this weekend and definitely some cooking. Are you guys as happy as I am that it is Friday? I don’t have any big plans and I am THAT excited about it!!! I’m going to try and catch up on blogging this weekend because my brain is FULL and my fingers just can’t seem to keep up during the week.
Speaking of blogs, let’s talk about some links:
******
*The Relay is next weekend. Probably should have read this months ago. 🙂
*I would like to be eating these for breakfast right now. PS – Thank you for all your breakfast and lunch ideas! I’m also sifting through this and this on recommendations.
*I finally broke down and bought these (I don’t know why I say “broke down” because they look awesome) and according to UPS they will be here Monday. I am so excited about this! Perhaps they will also help bring my mojo back!
*Check out A World Map of Flavors – 36 Regions, 36 Herb & Spice Combinations. PLUS RECIPES! They aren’t all Paleo, but I love advice on flavor combinations.
*You know I love routines, so I obviously loved How Rituals Can Supercharge Your Productivity (And Peace!)
*I get a lot of emails about troubleshooting Paleo. Paleo Mom wrote a pretty comprehensive post talking about exactly that.
*This caught my eye this week: Fitness + Stress – Some Thoughts On How To Manage Yourself.
*Speaking of fitness, Paleo Parents have a fun giveaway of CrossFit gear and clothing going on until May 1st. Also, Stacy’s post about Sugar + Metabolic Derangement (complete with dramatic photos!) really hit home for me.
*This Thorough Spring Cleaning Checklist makes me oddly inspired to bust out my swiffers and my steam mop.
*Need a little pick me up? Check out these 3 TED Talks on the recommendation of Brene Brown. I would TOTALLY invite Brene Brown to a dinner party. Wouldn’t you?

Hope your weekend is fantastic and full of your favorite things!
I am reading The Year of Living Biblically by AJ Jacobs. I’ve been very into this journalistic/religious immersion genre lately. Weird, I know, but fascinating!
I totally get that way about books…same genres or types of books over and over. Love it!
AJ Jacobs did a really great interview with Terry Gross on NPR that you should check out! It was hilarious
I’m almost embarrassed to admit what I’m reading but since I’m so excited I will tell you anyway – I was browsing Amazon & found new releases of all these Fantasy books my dad & I read when I was a kid. I ordered a bunch of them for him for Father’s Day and I’m re-reading them! 🙂
Nostalgia reads are the best!
I would certainly invite Brene to a dinner party. And that book? I haven’t been able to get fully invested in any book after reading it. They all pale in comparison. That book made me feel and think and I loved it.
I didn’t even read all the way through this post before I knew that I had to comment on the fact that your book is from the library. I love it! Library geeks unite! I have heard good things about “Wild,” but am a little wary. The hype reminded me of all the hoopla about “Eat, Pray, Love,” which I thought was alright. But I did just finish reading another Oprah recommendation: “The Twelve Tribes of Hattie,” by Ayana Mathis. Such fantastic fiction; I haven’t read such beautiful prose in a while. I mean, she described feeling fear like a heavy marble in your mouth. Perfection!
I also stayed away from it because of the hype (and yes…Eat, Pray, Love — MEH.) But something about this is just resonating with me. It’s not THE BEST BOOK I’VE EVER READ, it is just particularly captivating for me right now. I’m sure you know what I’m saying — Libarary Geeks Unite forever! 🙂
Lucky I finally returned that book 😉 I think I read the exact same copy from the library about 2 weeks ago. Isn’t it good? i really enjoyed it (but cried a LOT at the beginning).
Oh, and PS. Isn’t she possibly the biggest idiot of all time? how did she not die?
AH! I’ve been meaning to read Wild! It’s up high on my “to-read” list, for sure. What’s at the front of the queue, and will be started this week is Born To Run. Have you read it? As I’m just getting into regular running, my good friend who runs half marathons lent it to me, as it was incredibly motivating and inspirational for her. I’m looking forward to diving in. Will be my first book about fitness & movement!
Happy Weekend!
And AMEN to Brene Brown. Genius.
thanks for linking to my article. 🙂
