I can never read just one book at once. Not to mention I'm the SLOWEST reader! Here's 3 books I'm currently reading & loving
Southland tells the story of a woman whose grandfather is of Japanese descendent. After he dies she discovers his past, how he joined the army after being sent to the Manzanar internment camp, what took place during the Watts riots, and unravels her Grandfathers secrets that he held for so long. Throughout all this she learns to accept & embrace her Japanese identity...trust me, its definitely full of surprises!!!
The Worst Hard Time tells the tales of the dust storms that ripped through the midwest in the dirty thirties. My dad said, if your looking for a good book, read this. And boy was he right! Considering the beau's from Kansas originally I took more of an interest, especially since I'm a born & raised California girl and know nothing about farming, let alone the dust storms! Aside from thing book teaching me a thing or two about history, it also made me realize just how harsh not only the 30's were, but how harsh the dust storms were. Definitely a MUST read for all you history lovers!
The Selby. A girlfriend of mine first introduced me to Todd Selby's blog The Selby where he goes into the homes of his friends and various artists, models, celebrities & creative types. Now let's be honest, most of us have some sort of peeping Tom in us & the Selby isn't afraid to show it! He photographs the interiors where there is nothing to hide. Although its not so much a reading book, its a GREAT book! The Selby shows all sorts of interesting people & all the weird & corky things they collect...plus it kinda makes you feel normal for having too many knick knacks of sorts!
What are you currently reading? Any recommendations?
