Starting over is impossible without change. I hate change. I hate change with the passion of a thousand suns. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be in one place forever. And usually I like the other place when I get there. It's the process of gettin...
Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard by Chip Heath, Dan ...
Productivity has a way of sucking the life out of well, life. I enjoy systemizing and trying to do things better but I can uncomfortably aware that it is all I do. And it can stop me trying new things. As usual I had trouble articulating this until I...
The Amateur: The Pleasures of Doing What You Love by Andy Merrifield ...
I'm continuing on a theme with this book. Exploring how to move beyond just productivity and into a more diverse and varied day. One which includes rest (apparently there is more than once kind who knew?)

A Countrywoman's Journal: Sketchbooks of a Naturalist
You wouldn't hear the premise of this book and automatically think to add it to your shopping list. But I'm glad I did. It was quirky and somewhat eye opening. I'm not sure I had ever considered (or wanted to) what love meant to octogenarians.
Letters to Margaret: Confessions to my Late Wife by Hunter Davies, Hardcover
I read the first one and thought how could he end it here? So I'm glad to find the second book so I can find out the rest of the story.
Hildasay to Home: How I Found a Family by Walking the UK's Coastline
I like the premise of this book, comparing the nature of disability to the primal reality of nature. It can be a bit waffly but is still enjoyable
Some of Us Just Fall: On Nature and Not Getting Better by Polly Atkin, Hardcover
It wouldn't be right not to have a romance novel on the go at all times. I am in the mood for historical just now. Back in my massive book collection days I owned this in paperback. I now have it in ebook so I can keep re reading. These are slightly ...
Splendid (Blydon Family Saga Series #1) by Julia Quinn, Paperback
