Since I am a list maker at my core, I thought I'd put together a little round-up today, and then - hopefully - we can all offer up reviews, etc. Sound fun?
In alphabetical order:
Black Heels to Tractor Wheels by Ree Drummond/ The Pioneer Woman (Isn't it about time for this movie to come out?!)
That's a lot of writing going on! And these are just the ones from my blog reader that have come out in the last year or so, not to mention the ones that are being written/published now (like hers and theirs). What did I forget?
So far, I have read Black Heels, Bloom and YHL. I loved all three for (obvious) different reasons. Pretty much all the other ones are on my "list." (You know, the one that keeps growing and never gets check marks.)
If you've read any of these, I'd love for you to leave some feedback in the comments here. Is it worth a read? Is it a must-buy or a library kinda book? Go ahead, be honest. I can pretty much guarantee none of those big-time bloggers are going to find us here. :)
P.S. Have I mentioned that I really want to write a book? I do. Looking at that list makes me feel both inspired/motivated by their success and discouraged/stressed that I "don't have a story to tell" or "all my stories have already been written." I gotta get over that. Any tips? How about ideas for what to write about?

ReplyDeleteHeaven is Here by Stephanie Nielson is one of the greatest books I've ever read. So incredibly inspirational, and she gets deeply personal. Definitely read this one!
ReplyDeleteI found Black Heels to Tractor Wheels at Goodwill. PW basically wrote the whole story on her blog, so I haven't been motivated to read it yet. But I pre-ordered Big Mama's and can't WAIT to read it!
ReplyDeleteI wrote my book. Then I talked to a publisher at She Speaks two years ago. And here it sits. Because I don't know what to do with it. :( But go for it! Make a book and I can say I knew you when.... :)
ReplyDeleteTwo Kisses for Maddy is such a heartfelt book...I cried my eyes out reading it! Highly suggest it :)
