I’m thrilled to once again talk books with you. You’ll find lots of goodness in this stack! Click the titles to order your own. Let’s dive in…

Laughing Through the Ugly Cry

This book is beautifully designed with happy colors and pretty photos, but the story inside is intense. Dawn Barton shares how she dug deep to find joy in the hardest of circumstances. As someone who was raised to find the humor in just about anything, I loved the message. This one is an encouragement, and designed to be a gift for a friend who needs it most.

On the Bright Side

I adore Melanie Shankle’s sense of humor and writing style so I was eager to read her latest book. The message is timely, refreshing, and encouraging. She is always quick to offer a funny story to make her point, while speaking truth and offering wisdom. This one is a winner!

Mother & Son

I didn’t grow up with a brother and most families around us had all girls too. Now I find myself raising a teenage boy and often feel out of my element. This book offers so much insight into a boy’s needs and the mother/son relationship. It’s full of tools and practical advice. If you need a glimpse inside your son’s head, this one’s for you.

The Lies That Bind

Emily Giffin weaves a gripping story. Her books are the best kind… the ones that make you neglect everything else for hours as you continuously plow through “just one more chapter” again and again. This one is set in New York City in the fall of 2001 and offers romance, mystery, and an interesting look at a historic time in the United States. It’s a great escape… and I know I needed it.

The Home Edit

If you need a little spark to ignite your home organizing efforts, this book will light your fire! It’s full of gorgeous, inspirational photos and even includes a set of refrigerator labels. I enjoyed the various takes on similar spaces, so that you can determine the style that best suits you and your home.

Here’s what’s coming up next:

STAND ALL THE WAY UP // CILKA’S JOURNEY // THE FAITH OF QUEEN ELIZABETH // MYTHS AMERICA LIVES BY // STAMPED FROM THE BEGINNING // BIG WONDERFUL THING // THE PHANTOM OF FIFTH AVENUE
