Total number of books I own:
About 350. Wow. I never counted my books before.
Last book I read:
Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World by Bill Clinton.
I'm almost done with a review copy of We Make Change by Kristin Layng Szakos and Joe Szakos, which you'll be hearing more about later.
Last book I bought: What is the What by Dave Eggers, for a friend's birthday. I'm hoping I can borrow it after she is done (:

Thanks for the recommended reading list :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag! Mine is up.
ReplyDeleteEat, Pray, Love is one of the most meaningful books I've ever read - loved seeing it on your list.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently re-reading it by listening to the audio version on my iPod where Elizabeth reads it. It's delightful.
Your list also reminded me that I want to read Clinton's book on Giving - so I'm heading to Amazon right now to take a peek...
I'm reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle By Barbara Kingsolver, Camille Kingsolver and Steven L. Hopp right now. It may be my favorite book of the year.
ReplyDeleteHey Britt,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tag. Took me awhile to get to it, but I've posted my list of meaningful books on my blog.
Peace,
Gayle
