State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. This book reminded me of my trip to Ecuador!
Summer Reads
Monday, August 6, 2012 |
My favorite part about summer is having more time to READ. And I spent this summer reading many really good books. Some of these were for a book club and others were for work. But they were all great reads.
Little Bee by Chris Cleave. A story of a little girl running away from the corruption of her country.
The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor. A nonfiction book about how being happy can make you more successful.
The Ecuador Reader by Carlos de la Torre and Steve Striffler. I read this book prior to visiting Ecuador to get a better idea about their history, culture, and politics.
At Home by Bill Bryson. A nonfiction book about the history of private life and everyday objects. The book takes you through a home, room by room, and gives the relevant history that made that room what it is today.

I've had The Little Bee on my nightstand for a month now! After the book I'm on now - this one is up next in the queue. I love book suggestions, so I'm so pleased to see this post! Thank you for sharing! Have you read/heard of Cutting for Stone? That was my latest read, and I find myself still thinking about it/rereading some parts. Highly recommended!
State of Wonder looks intriguing!! I read "The NIght Circus" this summer and enjoyed it :)
These sound like interesting reads. I'd love to read the one by Shawn Achor, I'm a pretty happy girl, but I could use some inspiration!
