recent reads

This weekend I started The Poisonwood Bible (by Barbara Kingsolver) after unassumingly picking it up at the bookstore. It completely captured my attention, drawing me into the missionaries' lives as they prepared to leave for Africa in the 1950s. Several friends have recommend the book to me and I'm excited to spend this week engulfed in a great read! 

In other book news, I recently finished Chelsea Handler's book, Are You There Vodka, It's Me, Chelsea. The things she can get away with saying are ridiculous and I was often laughing at the paperback hoping no one was watching. It's like getting cocktails with Chelsea, but she's the only one talking. It was hilariously entertaining. If you love her show, standup and personality, then you will love it.
