I'm reading three books right now, 2 of them are re-reads that are part of 2 different series

the Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella (currently reading Shopaholic takes Manhattan)

and Living Dead in Dallas by Charlaine Harris (the Sookie Stackhouse series that the vampire show True Blood was based off of)

The new book I'm reading is called The Art of Taking it Easy by Dr. Brian King (the author is both a psychologist and a comedian)

Back to this eh? I am reading some books. Can't remember them off the top of my head though. Some book that's actually a Great Course - you know - that website the Great Courses, and it's about reading. Anyway, that is what I'm reading. (Listening to).

I love the great courses! Rufus Fears fears on books in general are the best, right up there with Michael Sugrue's stuff on there. Also, if you're into Philosophy or psychology, give Daniel Robinson a try. = )

I finished Legends and Lattes, and I loved it and highly recommend it especially for anyone who’s into high fantasy and wants a cozier book about an orc opening a coffee shop

Now I’m reading:
The Library of Lost and Found by Phaedra Patrick

The Borderline Personality Disorder Survival Guide by Alexander L. Chapman, PH.D

And Kim L. Gratz Phd.

This has got to be the most realistic, non biased, (by professionals) non stigmatizing , refreshing and hopeful read about living with BPD, it has a lot of good info in it and useful stuff in it. I’m really glad I got it from the library. It makes me feel a lot better about myself. Like I felt very ashamed about the whole BPD thing because it has such a horrific stigma, but reading this gives me hope and makes me feel like I’m not a horrible person for likely having it (my psychiatrist said it’s very likely that I have it , I’m not self diagnosing (she’s known me for 7 years now, but isn’t diagnosing me with it in my record because I’ve improved so much with that)

I ordered (from Amazon) Amazing Grace by Eric Metaxas. It is about William Wilberforce who was an English MP and was very much involved with ending slavery both in England and in the English territories. I should get it tomorrow. I am looking forward to reading it. I hope I can stay focused.
