One Golden Summer time – DNF
I had excessive hopes for this one, and I’ve learn different books by this creator and beloved them. They’re often quick, breezy, with first rate writing, and a swoonworthy storyline. This one was FLAT. I stored studying, hoping that it could get higher, and I used to be simply slogging via it. I lastly referred to as it quits on the 70% level. UGH. I used to be fairly irritated with it, however the actuality is that studying time is sacred and I’m not going to waste time studying books that I’m not loving — there are too many good ones on the market. 4/10

Good issues occur on the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent only one summer season there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s the place she took that photograph, the one in every of three grinning youngsters in a yellow speedboat, the picture that modified her life.

Currently although, she’s been itching for one thing extra, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them each: one other summer season in that magical place, Barry’s Bay.

Manifest: 7 Steps to Residing Your Greatest Life
I’ve been an enormous believer in manifesting, ever since The Secret hype days. I actually imagine it really works and imagine that if you happen to really feel your objectives and future earlier than they occur, it would occur. (1,000,000 years in the past, I labored at lululemon and so they had us do a visualization train of our whole day, begin to end, 10 years from that time. Nearly all the pieces I manifested throughout that point got here true, together with our two excellent women, who have been only a twinkle in our eyes on the time. At the moment, we have been additionally making an attempt to get pregnant and had not been profitable.)
An fascinating query is the excellence between manifestation and prayer, and if you should use them collectively, particularly if you happen to’re spiritual. For me, I exploit them solely in a different way. I don’t usually pray for issues I wish to occur, however as an alternative use it as time of reflection and gratitude. I exploit manifesting to examine the long run and the actions I have to take to get to that time.
The creator breaks down manifestation strategies and techniques, in addition to brief journaling workouts. Whereas plenty of it was evaluation for me, I beloved the reminders and the e book was concise and impactful. 9/10

Together with the Twilight Sequence, Chelsea Handler received me again into studying “for enjoyable” post-college, and her first e book made me cry with laughter. (All of it’s inappropriate and doubtless not PC from what I bear in mind, so if you happen to’re an simply offended particular person, I’d keep away.) Once I noticed she had a brand new e book, I downloaded it immediately, and it didn’t let me down. I extremely suggest the audio model so you may hear the tales in her voice. This e book was surprisingly inspirational and heartwarming along with being completely hilarious. 8/10
From Amazon:
There’s a lady I wish to turn out to be, Chelsea Handler thought as a toddler. She’ll be robust and assured. She’ll gentle up a room and unfold that gentle to make others really feel higher. She’ll make a residing being herself. She’ll be a survivor.
At ten years previous, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized she’d earn more money if the drinks have been spiked. So she added vodka to her recipe and used her earnings to improve herself to first-class on a household trip—leaving her dad and mom and siblings in coach. She moved to Los Angeles and received fired from her temp job when she admitted she didn’t know easy methods to switch calls. She’s performed pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. She’s sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. When she by accident ended up at dinner with Woody Allen, she was not going to go away the desk with out asking him a really private pointed query. She went on nationwide tv and talked about having threesomes. She’s by no means been one to carry again.
However this lifetime of journey and absurdity is just a part of her story. Chelsea is aware of what it’s to really present up for her household—canine and human, organic and chosen. She’s found easy methods to spend time with herself, easy methods to meditate, easy methods to be open to like, and easy methods to finish a relationship with dignity. She is a sister to the numerous ladies who depend on her.
Surprisingly weak and all the time outrageous, Chelsea Handler captures the antic-filled, exhilarating, and joyful life she’s constructed—a life that makes the remainder of us suppose, I’ll have what she’s having.
