1. Sherry and John sent us a copy of their new book Lovable Livable Home
2. I love Rachel Khoo. She is just the cutest ever and her cookbooks inspire me. I’ve been loving her latest book, Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook.
3. Elsie bought me a copy of What Katie Ate on the Weekend, and I LOVE it. I think the food photography is just SO inspiring.
4. I recently finished an awesome novel, Station Eleven. It’s set in an apocalyptic world, it’s got cults, comic books and lots of surprising, lovable characters.
5. I just started (but am loving so far) Mary Karr’s latest book The Art of Memoir, which is all about writing or just appreciating memoirs. I love a good memoir, so it’s interesting to learn more about the process many authors go through to create them.
If you have any recent reads you’d like to share, feel free. Hope you have a great weekend! xo. Emma

It was fascinating to hear YHL and what they’ve been up to on the Lively Show, it definitely inspired me to pull out my copy of their first book and hit up their archives.
Telling everyone I know about Brene Browns new book Rising Strong, it’s fabulous and thought provoking and a little life changing.
You can never have enough books! 🙂

If you’re interested in memoir writing, The Memoir Project by Marion Roach Smith is also quite good.
We just read station eleven as our irl book group book and I loved it, such an unexpected enjoyable story. Great recommendation. Zoe
I’ve been looking at adding some new books into my collection lately. I’ve been seeing Loveable Livable Home a lot lately, and I’ve been dying to get my hands on a copy! Great selection! 🙂

I am currently reading Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert and I am telling you- it feels like a game-changer! So, so good.
I’m reading Station Eleven and it’s incredible! I’m at the part where they’ve just left the scary cult town. The author is going to be speaking in our area soon and I’m definitely going to go. I hope she tells us how she drags these things out of her imagination!
I just finished Station Eleven too, an awesome book, and I think there may be a sequel.
This is so nice! I made a mental note to read The Art of Memoir before but I completely lost that mental note haha 😉 So now I just actually made a physical note of it, can’t wait to get into it 🙂 <3
Just began Station Eleven last night! Thank you for this little list!
seem like great books!
I usually devour books but lately can’t really find the will to just read a good novel, never the less the last book that caught my attention was “The Manifest on How to be Interesting”by Holly Bourne, it’s an easy read, it took me 3 days to finish it, but will make you think about things that happened to you or that are happening right now(depending on your age), it’s something that almost everyone can relate too and funny with a dark tone. it also talks about serious aspects of life that almost every teenager nowadays experience.
I loved Station Eleven! It made me really want to find a glass paperweight with storm clouds like the one in the book. Still haven’t found one yet, so if anyone knows of anything, please let me know 🙂
Congrats to be so regular in your posts ! I will come this here each day 🙂

Station Eleven was a favorite of both myself and my husband. I’m liking the sounds of The Art of Memoir, so that will go on my list and last night I order Big Magic so I’m all set for October. Thanks for sharing.
I’d really love to get What Katie Ate on the Weekend
Good book suggestions, I’ll probably read “Station eleven”, and “The art of memoir” seems pretty interesting.
