I’m hoping to make some serious progress on my “to be read” pile during this time at home, and I’ve read some great ones lately! Here are books I’ve enjoyed and perhaps you will like them too. (Find these fantastic bookends here.)
How to Celebrate Everything
As much as I love to “read” a cookbook cover to cover, this one is so much more. How to Celebrate Everything dives into what makes family celebrations and rituals so meaningful to our family stories. This is a great book to cozy up with, and has me adding ingredients to make both pickles and mashed potatoes to my grocery order.
Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day
I’m embarrassed to say how long I’ve owned this book without trying its methods. In fact a new version is now available. The idea is to make up a big batch of bread dough and store in it your refrigerator, baking a small, fresh loaf each day. I ordered a special measuring spoon, dough container, and oven thermometer to get started. Stay tuned for my bread baking adventures!
The Other Side of the Coin: The Queen, the Dresser and the Wardrobe
I adore this book. Angela Kelly opens up about her close relationship with the queen and all that goes into creating her iconic looks. This book is so elegant and beautiful. It will transport you right out of quarantine and into Buckingham Palace!
Open Book
Jessica Simpson has an extraordinary life in so many ways and Open Book is spilling the tea about it all. i could not put this one down! It’s a great read and will leave you seeing her in new ways.
American Royals
If you enjoyed The Royal We or you are just a monarchy enthusiast like me, you will enjoy American Royals. Imagine if the USA had a king and queen! Weave in lots of beautiful clothes, a palace, and several intriguing romances and you have this darling book. I was delighted to see a sequel is available for pre-order as well.
Lilac Girls
Warning… Lilac Girls will absolutely break your heart. This is a work of fiction based on real people in World War II. It’s gripping, it’s sad and it is beautiful too.
Chasing Vines
I admire and respect Beth Moore so much and I’m loving Chasing Vines. It’s one to be savored and lingered over, to soak in the biblical wisdom she shares so eloquently.
Tell Me More
Grief, parenting, friendship…. Tell Me More takes a raw and real look at them all. This book has some language, just FYI, but it’s full of so much truth. I took a lot away from this one.
Those are my most recent reads… let me know if you enjoy them too!
