Everyday Adventuring
To be honest, I couldn't help but compare this book to Amy Poehler's book and to be frank, I much preferred Yes Please! That said, this was very enjoyable. Tina tells stories from behind the scenes of SNL and 30 Rock (neither of which I've ever seen, so they're a little lost on me...) that… Continue reading Bossypants – Tina Fey
The end of the trilogy! The writing definitely gets a little lazy/predictable towards the end of the trilogy. I wonder if it's because by the third book in a series you're guaranteed an audience...? I also feel like a thesaurus was heavily thumbed by the end of it too. Anyways, content-wise, it's straight to the… Continue reading The Hunger Games, Mockingjay – Suzanne Collins
The second in the trilogy and possibly my least favourite. The reason? One third of the book is this back and forth where Katniss is presented as a confused girl choosing between two love interests. It just doesn't fit with how she's portrayed in the rest of the story. The slight saving grace of this… Continue reading The Hunger Games, Catching Fire – Suzanne Collins
I wanted to get back into actually reading and not just listening to audiobooks. So I downloaded one of my favourite series - The Hunger Games - and ploughed through the first book in just under a week. It is very well written and a great story. I actually then read an interview with Suzanne… Continue reading The Hunger Games – Suzanne Collins
This is Dave Hollis' first book, and his is a new voice in the personal development world, following his wife Rachel Hollis into it... I got this book because I enjoy Dave and Rach's Start Today Morning Show on Instagram, I really enjoyed Rachel's books, and I find the way they talk about life and… Continue reading Get Out of Your Own Way – Dave Hollis
I went into listening to this book expecting something that it wasn't. I thought it was primarily a memoir with health and fitness as a secondary, but I was mistaken. On some level, this book is basically a promotion to download Carrie's new app... However, I really enjoyed the stories Carries told about her rising… Continue reading Find Your Path – Carrie Underwood
I didn't stop talking about Elton John the whole time from start to finish (and beyond) of this book! The stories he tells are so gripping, and it gives amazing insight to an incredibly well lived and varied life. I love hearing some background to his career and songs. And it's great that it sounds… Continue reading Me – Elton John
This book is hilarious. In my opinion, Amy Poehler is hands down one of the funniest people and writers of our generation. She writes very frankly, very honestly, and with a lot of humour. She touches on all sorts of topics but brings light to them all. I identify a lot with certain parts of… Continue reading Yes Please! – Amy Poehler
An excellent book that has genuinely challenged me to think and act differently. So rich with stories and scripture. Some of my key take aways: Sometime, God wants us just to choose His presence, and to be content in simply being with Him. A 15 year journey of a prayer movement is simplified into one… Continue reading Dirty Glory – Pete Greig
I absolutely loved this book. I started it as we were about to begin a 24/7 Prayer week at our church and I wanted to know more about its origins and get some inspiration. This book surely delivered on both of those things and was peppered with personal anecdotes and humour along the way too.… Continue reading Red Moon Rising – Pete Greig
