Chicken Soup for the College Soul

Well, obviously I am way behind on reading my collection of books...I received this one years ago. It is another great Chicken Soup collection of stories. Adults, young adults, and teens will enjoy these stories. You can reminisce about your college experiences and live vicariously through the stories of college adventures that you might not have undertaken. Either way the book is worth reading. As with all Chicken Soup books have Kleenex handy!

Home Again

by Kristin Hannah

An intriguing novel about how life and the decisions you make when you are young can affect your whole life. The story of Angel, always the rebel, his brother Francis, always the saint, and Madelaine, the love of both the brothers lives. Teenage pregnancy, heart transplants, single parenthood, and the price of being famous are just a few of the topics of this page turner. Make sure to have kleenex handy!

Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?

By Peter Walsh

Just finished reading this book by the guy from TLC's Clean Sweep show. It was a good book...if I could only implement some of his food suggestions! He compared his clutter principles to losing weight. Most of what he said was common sense, but we can always use a reminder of what we should be doing (@ least I know I can!). He suggests writing a food journal to document where you went wrong and how you felt when you did. He says if you can see what your food triggers are then you can avoid them or rather deal with them. The book deals with the emotional side of eating and decluttering your life, home, and body to lose weight and be healthier. After reading this book I have to admit I still have a long way to go with dealing with food and decluttering my body. However, the book or rather the author has inspired me to Clean Sweep my house yet again in the hopes of lightening my clutter.
