I also struggle with 'tribe', mostly because I think it dances the line of cultural appropriation, why can't you simply have a close group of friends? I don't think there needs to be a brand or pop culture reference associated with the people who you share your life with.

Looking at Goodreads I liked some of her earlier books, but I haven't read anything of hers in a long time. You have me intrigued by the Shauna Niequist. I am a huge introvert, but also fall into the Type A, Obliger category so I may find this book interesting.

I can stand "delicious" used in reference to a person but not your daughter. I'm really bummed because my library has very slim pickings when it comes to Taylor Jenkins Reid and I've heard so many good things about her. I really enjoyed Rising Strong by Brene Brown and put Daring Greatly and the Imperfections book on my TBR but when I read their book descriptions, they all seem very much the same.

Like, really? Does that food have literal sex appeal? Are you literally sexually attracted to your food? Because that's what sexy means.<br /><br />I need to start quitting books I'm not enjoying.

I've never heard of the Rose Gardner series, but now I really want to check it out! I had wanted to read Present Over Perfect before it came out, but I haven't really heard anyone love it. I've had Commonwealth from the library twice and somehow managed not to get to it both times! It's back on my hold list again and hopefully third time will be the charm!Carlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10337403009854474701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-70526421494647253002016-12-13T08:52:21.959-06:002016-12-13T08:52:21.959-06:00I read summer secrets and I think it was one that ...I read summer secrets and I think it was one that I literally skipped through a lot just to say I got through it, ha!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248935374379919175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-19082693472359635822016-12-13T07:48:36.528-06:002016-12-13T07:48:36.528-06:00I utilized the audiobook version of Reconstructing...I utilized the audiobook version of Reconstructing Amelia and I remember getting so confused with all the texts. <br /><br />I have One True Loves by TJR up next on my TBR.
