Hi Chantelle,
Great selection, thanks for the recommendations. I’ve added Blog Inc and 642 Things to write about to my Amazon wishlist. I read the $100 Startup on holiday in Byron Bay earlier this year, it’s wonderfully inspirational. I love reading and find that I often have 3 or 4 books on the go at once as well.
A few that I’ve really enjoyed recently are:
– App Empire by Chad Mureta – fascinating story and really interesting look into the world of creating Apps.
– The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan – this one’s a bit dense but if you’re interested in food and where it comes from in this day and age this is a must read. His other books Food Rules and In Defense of Food are also great.
– Kaz Cooke’s Up the Duff – such a funny and lighthearted look at pregnancy that’s a welcome relief when you’re having a little freak out (29 weeks and counting!)
– My Cool Caravan by Jane Field-Lewis and Chris Haddon – allows me to indulge my fantasy of taking off for a trip around Aus in a really cool caravan.
Cheers,
K
Thanks for these suggestions. I’ve also read Chris Guillebeau’s book “The Art of Non-conformity” which is also a great read.
I’ve just started reading Gretchen Rubins first book, it is fantastic!
These look great! Thanks for sharing. I am in need of a few new books.
Chris’ book is brilliant. I am haflway through it, spending my 15 minutes at midnight reading it
ohhhh thank you! nice timing close to christmas and great books for us mummies to read! going to have a look at a few of them! I need to make some time for reading!
Thanks for these, I’m always looking for a new inspiring book to read! X
Fab selection… didn’t know about a few of these so thanks! Rachel đŸ™‚
I had the same feeling with happiness project, now just started happier at home, let’s see!
I read. A lot! I used to almost live in the libraries and bookstores when I was younger. I always have a book on my night stand, one or two on my Kindle/iBooks and I have a huge pile of “to read” books in my bookshelf! My main genre is thriller and crime books (fiction), but for some reason, every year around this time I find myself sucked into the vampire and other supernatural stories.. maybe it’s the darkening days and all that.. I’ve also been reading a few rock autobiographies lately, I can truly recommend The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx (it’s a very rough read, but makes you appreciate life even more). I’ve also found quite a few really cool and inspirational books about creative photography and rock photography (unfortunately they’re all in Finnish!), that I like to go back to every now and then to get new ideas into my own photography.
Great recommendations! I desperately want a copy of Things I Love, and plan to get one pre-Christmas.
I do not generally read a lot of books as I do not have heaps of free time so do not feel like I can commit to an entire book, but love design books and vintage / antiques guides. I also read stacks of magazines.
I have recently discovered Herve Tullet whose most famous book is probably Press Here. His books are generally aimed at ages 3-99 and are fun for the coffee table / kids presents.
I do like reading (semi)biographical books and literary fiction. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley is an absolute classic, and A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. I used to read stacks when I was younger, and loved to get lost in a novel during my spare time.
I am currently reading How would love respond by Kurek Ashley
I love book recommendations! I’m an avid reader, so anything that is supposed to be a good read, regardless of genre, goes on my list! Thanks for these! đŸ™‚
I just bought Happier at Home. I also loved the Happiness Project. I’ve read the $100 Startup. Chris leads and interesting life. It would be cool to talk to him. I just finished the book 7 and The Casual Observer. Not a big fan of the 2nd one, but would recommend 7 by Jen Hatmaker. And I’m going to order Blog Inc.
