Because I'm All About The Books, Bout The Books...

One of my biggest new year's resolutions was to read more.

I know, I know. I read a lot already.

What I am talking about is trans-formative, turn off the television, buckle down kind-of reading. Luckily, I'm doing it.

But what is Nicole reading this go around? It's so exciting, I simply have to share!

(As always, if I find some random inspiration from what I read, I'll totally share it with you guys!)

First thing I am doing is listening to an audio book on my drives to and from SG's home and back and forth to work. I'm super excited about the one book I am into right now (and I am currently on Chapter 6, just from driving into work today.) It is called:

 Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes. I am sooo loving it. At the end of the day, I hope to be inspired to take my life to the next level. I'm successful, I'm a good person, blah.. blah.. blah.. but what I can do is do better. This past year, I sort of checked out of the social scene. It's time to confront my fears and live louder.

So far, I highly recommend it to anyone who is trying to be Miss or Mr Perfect, holds themselves back due to fear, and for those who dream more than they do.

As always, I'm going on my 10th year of reading the same morning devotional/meditational and that is:

Journey to the Heart by Melody Beattie. It does not matter how many years I read this, I still get something out of it. Different days speak to me more than others. Today? Go with the Flow was the theme. I needed that. Oh how I needed that!

For fun (ie, instead of turning on the TV) I am reading:

This book reads like an action adventure movie. It is so much fun and definitely a page turner. I'm looking forward to diving in tonight when I get off of work.

Then there is one more book I am reading, and typically it is at lunchtime, and it is:

Beautiful Mercy. A wonderful book reminding me to be kind and compassionate.

Good stuff.


What are you reading this week?
